Today In Communication History
On this date in 1997, NBC-TV aired ‘Schindler’s List’. It was completely uncensored.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
February Sweeps Period runs from February 4, 2016 and ends March 2, 2016.

Integrated Marketing Techniques
RetailPositive™ Centering On Social Media
One of the components in the retail and brand strategy developed by CNA|SOPHIS called RetailPositive™, centers on the creation, development, execution and continual maintenance of social media, pressing quality content into the flow of social conversation designed to engage. This creation of ‘engagement’ provides a key to the multiple page strategy of RetailPositive™. Most clients have a multiple amount of social media pages. For instance, with Facebook, retailers and/or brand do not have a single audience. They have many.
In an effort to maximize their Facebook reach, CNA|SOPHIS has created elaborate webs of Facebook pages for not only their main verticals but the long tail of other topics as well. Most clients have many pages, for some as many as 90 Facebook pages, each dedicated to specific topics such as specific location of brick & mortar stores, in this time of the year, fashion in spring, bedding for a better night’s sleep and many many more. Most of these match up with existing verticals, but the retailer/brand is also working with social-only brands such as ‘BFF’ and more. It is all about getting interested people who are want to find out about a single topic to begin dialog between them and the retailer/brand. Each page is developed to center on a single topic.
This is a tool that lets a retailer/brand cultivate a more engaged audience. It is all about reaching more people and developing a relationship with them in order for them to engage with you. It is not about ‘Likes’. It is all about engagement. CNA|SOPHIS had determined that ‘engagement’ is the key to developing a sales prospect. And it must be working because they have increase both traffic and sales 5.0% to 13.5% with 13 weeks of RetailPositive™ activation for their clients.

67% of consumers are more likely to trust a brand when it’s easy to review its products or services. Friends and family are the most trusted source of social or digital content, followed by academic experts and companies a consumer already uses. trust changes the behavior of your customers and stakeholders. Being transparent and open is not just good practice, it is essential. (Per the Edelman Trust Barometer)
eMail Research
Early Mornings Through Noon Peak eMail Opens
For all the pundants who proclaim they know everything about everything, here is one they may have missed. If you want to reach your potential customer, a good time to use email is between 4A and Noon. So sayeth the Experian Marketing Services who have come out with a new report.

SI Swimsuit Edition Draws Big Social
Sports Illustrated made history this week with the release of its annual Swimsuit edition cover—or, more accurately, covers.
For the first time, the Time Inc. brand produced multiple covers—three, to be exact—for its top-selling issue of the year. Along with model Hailey Clauson, the other two covers feature Ashley Graham, the first size 16 model to be featured on the cover, and UFC star Ronda Rousey. Considering Rousey’s star power, it may not come as a surprise that the former bantamweight champion scored a knockout on social media. According to data from social media analytics firm NetBase provided to Adweek by digital marketing agency PM Digital, Rousey’s cover accounted for 61 percent of the social conversation around the issue since the release of the covers Monday night.
Rousey’s cover attracted 154,879 mentions across Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Instagram (hashtag mentions only for Instagram) and YouTube. That was nearly double the amount of mentions for Graham (86,090), who accounted for 34 percent of the total conversation. Clauson’s cover only grabbed 5 percent of the conversation with 13,662 mentions.
