Your Taste Buds Tuned Into Social Media


The excitement conjured by social media is often all-encompassing and over the top.  In some cases, it can even make your mouth water.  The South Beach Wine and Food Festival’s array of social media tactics do just this.

Between their Facebook and Twitter posts, they are able to build anticipation through visual aids and descriptive narratives of what an attendee will experience.  This not only creates a unified buzz across social media sites, but on an individual basis as well.  The excitement among all those planning to attend prompts the promotion of the event by individuals.  As a Facebook friend or Twitter follower is mine, you would know that my sweet tooth is most eager for the Godiva Indulge event.

In addition, the Food Network’s YouTube channel offers videos of events and photo galleries of last year can be viewed and shared via Flickr.  Being able to see what past attendees have experienced stimulates the strong desire to be present this year.   The variety of social media approaches allows consumers to see how swanky, luxurious and appetizing the events will be.  They have my mouth watering already.

The 10 day countdown starts today as my taste buds attempt to prepare themselves for some of the most delicious food ever produced by the Food Network channel’s most famous culinary artists.
