ADVISORY, March 27, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
What: Author David Meerman Scott will preside over the opening bell to celebrate the recent release of WORLD WIDE RAVE: Creating Triggers That Get Millions of People to Spread Your Ideas and Share Your Stories. The first 30 Twitter followers to respond this week to David's tweets will be invited to join him and his sponsor GlobeNewswire for the bell ringing ceremony at the first Tweetup at the NASDAQ. A Tweetup is where people from the virtual Twittersphere decide to meet in real life. It's also an example of how anyone can use social media tools to create a "world wide rave" that will get everyone talking about you, your product or your company. In WORLD WIDE RAVE: Creating Triggers That Get Millions of People to Spread Your Ideas and Share Your Stories, Scott shares the secret to the most powerful marketing tool available -- one that again goes against all the out-of-date rules that your boss, your agency and many experts are too afraid to abandon. A World Wide Rave is when thousands of people are talking about you or your company because they want to, not because they were coerced or tricked. How do you create one? You might know a little about part of the answer: blogs, links, YouTube, Facebook and viral videos. But even the most tech-savvy marketer won't get any mileage out of these online tools if they don't craft the right content to trigger conversations that can spread to millions.
