Our services....
Businesses, organisations and governments now have the power to use these new web-based tools and methods to harness the power of their communities; be they customers, employees, members or citzens. However many organisations do not have the time or the know-how to implement these new tools and techniques. That is where we come in: MindCloud takes full responsibility for your social media project.
The 'build it and they will come' approach is not an option! Software is obviously important in the success of your social media strategy. But it is not the most important thing. The key to success in using social media is engaging the community and directing the way the tools are used. Adding value through your social media strategy is all about getting others to contribute and collaborate - people just don't do this if they are not managed. We have plenty of experience of animating communities, as well as building them.
So we'll only offer services and support that work. We won't provide a suite of fancy tools that nobody will use!
Community engagement
Have you already built it ...and they haven't come...? If you have an existing online community that's not performing the way you had hoped, we can help you to animate your online community. This is as much about psychology, sociology and tactics as it is about technology. If you're starting from scratch we can help design your platform so it have the best chance of taking off.The success of social media is based on the community being social, sharing and communicating. While the adoption of social media should be from the bottomup, this doesn't mean that this should be left totally to chance. There are technologies to help ensure your community is engaged. People avoid empty restaurants and this is also true for empty online communities. Don't leave it to chance - we can help you to fill your virtual space.... Learn more.....
Social Media Strategy Development
It's easy to feel overwhelmed with the pace of change and the variety of social media tools now available. Strategy is the starting point when it comes to implementing social media. Without a clear idea of what to acheive, what you realistically can acheive and what's right for your organisation, you'll encounter major problems. Not many web companies are prepared to engage with you in developing your strategy. We are! Learn more.....
Training
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!" It's an oldie but it's true. It takes time to fully achieve the benefits of any online strategy. You may not want to be totally dependent on external providers to do this, so we can teach you how to implement and grow your own community, or to use Marketing 2.0 techniques to build your business at a fraction of the cost of employing a traditional marketing agency.So we've developed a specific course if you want to DIY it!

Integration Strategies
Why build it all yourself? Many of the tools that you need to make your strategy work already exist and it could be both cheaper and quicker. So you'll need some help choosing the right tools and pulling them together in a way that fits best with your strategy.
