			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We provide social network management, content distribution &amp; intelligent analytics for associations, publishers and web 2.0 creative agencies.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://soxial.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/soxial-no-dot-com.png"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7" title="soxial-no-dot-com" src="http://soxial.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/soxial-no-dot-com-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Our mission is to provide value through the assurance of business continuity for social networking projects. We provide technology, services, support &amp;<em> </em>social media asset management ~ All this, plus continual<em>management insights</em> for total audience growth.</p>
<p><span id="more-1"></span></p>
<p><strong>First example:</strong> Your company started a user forum or blog some years ago, and now it has too many spammers as members, and people are always complaining for changes and want new features.</p>
<p><strong>Second example:</strong> Your marketing group set up a Twitter and YouTube account for a recent newsletter campaign, it worked great &#8211; and now you have a list of followers, but the campaign was over weeks ago.</p>
<p><strong>Third example:</strong> You decided to hire an outsourced application developer to solve a client business objective, and now the developer has left the project hanging, nobody&#8217;s seen or heard from him in weeks, and the launch is scheduled for next month.</p>
<p><strong>In the social media universe there are a mind boggling array of applications</strong> and technologies constantly emerging that have real business value. However, unless you are prepared to fund the cost of keeping up with changing standards, hiring new staff &amp; skills, examining and testing new platforms, patching old fixes and scrambling to harness hot new trends &#8211; outsourcing to a professional services group may make a lot of sense to you.</p>
<p><strong>We provide all the necessary resources for a successful social media campaign </strong>including open source software, tech support, hosting, database administration, security, user moderation, storage, customization and content distribution under a simple billing model.</p>
<p><strong>We have designed this offering so you can focus effectively</strong> on creating compelling messages and marketing materials to drive bottom line results for your clients, while we maintain fixed and predictable technology costs.</p>
<p><strong>It is common for companies to change web development teams, hosting providers, outsourced technicians and internal I.T. staff throughout the course of a calendar year</strong>. This staff turnover can cause key technical information to become lost, especially when people leave a company or project without answers.</p>
<p><strong>This is why <a href="http://www.soxial.com/">www.soxial.com</a> offers end-to-end management of existing social media platforms, hosting, consulting and code changes, list management &amp; account migration services.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Our primary goal is to assure business continuity for your social media applications</strong> &amp; followers over the years to come. In addition, our team can customize, expand and create new social media distribution channels for clients too.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>In the new digital market place, many companies have already jumped into the fray and now are using twitter, facebook, youtube, wordpress, adsense</strong> and other tools to enhance their dot com operations &#8211; but often the system account administrators end up being junior staff, agencies or other 3rd party short term communications suppliers &#8211; often leaving the company with no trace of account passwords, purpose or future looking strategy.</p>
<p><strong>In such an event, it is certain your website subscriber lists will suffer attrition. Often this is happening without the ability to provide monitoring of this loss, or make the necessary control changes to stop the bleeding.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Company executives are often totally unaware of the losses they are suffering through poor list management, and orphaned social strategies</em>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>At some point in the future your work group or business may be faced with the reality that your social media marketing executions have become orphaned,</strong> they may need technical intervention, customer support, administration &amp; account management, and perhaps even customization to meet your changing business needs, and to position these assets for growth again.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine fast forwarding the time horizon through the next 15 years?</strong>Where will all this accumulated user information be kept? What&#8217;s your plan for maintaining this valuable data? Which expert in the organization needs this extra responsibility? At what point does it make sense to hand it off to a contracted management company?</p>
<p><strong>It is likely your management team will face unforeseen burdens and dramatic cost increases</strong> of social network ownership over time, well after the initial marketing launch is complete, and the original purpose for the media execution has passed. It is therefore important to plan ahead, to avoid any negative surprises.</p>
<p><strong>Soxial.com is your partner to make sure you can protect your early investments in social networking innovations and web 2.0 technologies.</strong>We can provide you with the assurance that you will have business continuity within your social media channels. <em>Take comfort knowing that your social media is being managed like any other key business asset, by the experts</em>.</p>
<p><strong>There are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">many</span> unforeseen &amp; under estimated costs with owning social media.</strong></p>
<p>Unexpected costs can include the salaries of staff and fees related to editorial development, content sourcing &amp; acquisition, list churn, content churn, comment &amp; user management, discussion forum moderation, spam management, legal issues stemming from users, plus system customization barriers, network security and system abuse to consider. All of these risks can be mitigated or avoided.</p>
<p><strong><em>In many situations, advertising account managers, project managers and executives can easily find themselves past the point of no return, caught with spiralling costs, few answers, and no ROI in sight. You may very well have that problem right now.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>The fact is</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">successful</span> social media executions <span style="text-decoration: underline;">will absolutely</span> result in small and large groups of customers and affinity partners that you may find are too <span style="text-decoration: underline;">small</span> to continue to focus on, but too <span style="text-decoration: underline;">meaningful</span> to orphan. It&#8217;s a catch 22 scenario, <strong>and it can be avoided.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t get caught short-handed when planning client facing social media creative executions.</strong> Call an expert. Get good advice, and then go make your marketing campaign happen.</p>
<p><strong>If you are already up against a wall, we can certainly help.</strong><br />
Pick up the phone right now and call 1.416.899.3050.</p>
<p><strong>With the right steps you can harness all the power of social media</strong>, while mitigating the risks &amp; costs associated with ownership.</p>
