My readers may already be familiar with my personal and professional progression as it relates to golf and the internet; how my blog and Golf for Beginners brand has evolved over ten years through the use of social media and collaboration.
It is because of my social media presence that I have been asked by IBM to partner with them on their new Smarter Commerce Campaign, becoming one of the "faces" of this new technology platform and helping them to define what smarter commerce means to me and you.
This month I have been requested to share my consumer-centric story with you, my audience, through social media channels like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and through this blog using the hashtag #MYSMARTERCOMMERCE.
This means, if I tag a post, blog or picture with the hashtag #MySmarterCommerce, it is so that I can share how my life has been impacted by technology, society or maybe it's just something that I happened upon in my daily grind. I hope that, when you see me using this hashtag, you will consider continuing the conversation with me and let me know how something you saw or did during your day has changed the way you do business!
Throughout February, IBM will have a running feed highlighting all tweets with the hashtag #MySmarterCommerce and, at the end of the month, all content created will be compiled into one social story.
Here are a few of the social channels I'll be utilizing:
Twitter: Golf4Beginners
Facebook: Stacy Solomon
Pinterest: Ask to join the board I created and post freely - #MySmarterCommerce
How does technology play a role in our lives?
How do we network and grow both personally and as connected consumers?
Do we know what other businesses think about our brand?
To tell you the truth, even I don't know where this is going yet but...I'm sure to enjoy the ride!
I hope that, as I help IBM define what smarter commerce means to me, in turn, I'll learn more about your personal stories of brand building and how social media, digital and mobile technology has helped you grow both personally and on a professional level.
I will be sharing a 'day in my life' with you to create a "think-tank" of sorts and I invite you today to take this journey with me.
An Introduction to IBM Smarter Commerce:
