The Visible Banking Page on Facebook: New Fans (51 - 60) & Recent Activity

The Visible Banking Page on Facebook
I was in Singapore last week, speaking at the Retail Banking Innovations.

I invite you to check the videos interviews I have already added to the Visible Banking Page. Please note that they are not all available yet on Visible-Banking.com.

I am delighted to announce that we broke the 100 mark last week! The page now counts 107 fans.

I believe the success of any Social Media initiative is linked with your ability to engage with your community and urge them to contribute.
It is critical to REWARD your members, your fans. Rewarding could mean many things such as producing exclusive content, or giving visibiliy / exposure to your contributors. I intend to do both on the Visible Banking Page.
