It's important for any marketing types to spend some time looking and listening on the various mediums to see how people are using the networks and what any of the advantages and/or drawbacks of adding a social media strategy to their marketing mix would be.

I have a feeling the opinions of Marketing Executives (who usually aren't responsible for Customer Service) probably simply don't care about the social media benefits with respect to customer service. They should because Customer Service has a direct impact on retention... but it's a difficult line to draw internal to a company!

I would be interested to see if it had anything to do with the age of the marketers in question. I wonder if someone out there has generation-related statistics? I'm sure its not as simple as this but would still be interested to see the demographics. I can’t understand why some marketers are slow to adopt social media.

Social Media isn't just a singular category like newspaper ads or buying swag pens for a conference. No... its is like pulling the whole entire "marketing mix" back and stamping "version 2.0" on it and re-hashing everything that may be old... which is now new again. Twitter, Youtube, Blogging, Facebook, Linkedin, etc are all entirely different classifications of social media. Yes they all live on the web, but Facebook is not Linkedin. We have a lot of Apples and Oranges being compared in the social media world. I think that is hard for them. Most tried traditional online marketing and are now trying to categorize that experience with 1000's of new options. Pretty scary evolution eh? One day you have 100 options.... the next day you have 10,000. ~Barry Good observation- I believe the hardest part for marketers “keeping an open mind” is due to how vast social media is.
