If you are following @Oct17 on Twitter, you may have already heard: a few of our lucky clients will get to try UserTesting! (We introduced UserTesting to you a couple weeks back right here on our blog, in case you forgot) So as you can see, there are perks that come with being an October 17 client!
The professional services provided by the October 17 Media team prove, without a doubt, they are on top of their game. I would strongly recommend them to anyone expanding their business to include social networking.
- Dodi Thorhaug
One of our clients, Dodi Thorhaug, is a North Shore real estate agent and we began working with Dodi on her social media channels near the end of 2010. As much as we would love to show you the before and after shots, we can’t – because it was in fact her first time with social media! So we started right from scratch with Dodi, and now she is on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and tweeting, sharing, liking and all that social media jazz!
We like to take care of our clients and one of the things that we strongly believe in for businesses is maintaining a professional and consistent brand image across social media channels online. On Twitter and YouTube, this can be achieved with the profile image and custom backgrounds.
Profile photos are important on Facebook as well, but Facebook does not allow a custom background. “So how do I customize my Facebook Page,” you ask? Boy do we have an answer for you: building custom tabs! Custom Facebook tabs are just that – custom. They can highlight different things according to your business’ goals.
For Dodi, we created a Welcome tab (good for any business, shows people that you are who you say you are), a Listings tab for prospective buyers, and a Sold Listings tab for prospective sellers. And we must say ourselves, they look quite fancy indeed!
Now that we’ve got you drooling and thinking you could use some customizing to spice up your social media channels, give us a shout and we can help you out!

At October 17 Media we’ve been harping on making your web site mobile accessible for a while now. This company has taken it one step further and allows you to really capitalize on advertising to customers with iphones. They’ve developed a really neat application called ‘Clip Mobile’ for the iphone that allows you to post coupons and deals available to those who download the free application. We’ve asked the developers a few interview questions we think advertisers would like to know about getting their coupons onto the clip mobile network.
