Lost in Translation

The more challenges I encounter in researching my context assignment the more excited I am about it.  Actually the only real correlation between my excitement and my challenges is that they are happening simultaneously.

Current challenge? Translating everything from FB pages to government docs from Chinese to English.  Heh, heh!  What a way to spend a lunch hour!

In the meantime, I'm trying to implement what I've learned in the class on my web site, Twitter, Linked-In and especially my FB page.  Not that you'll notice, but I'm trying.

It is my goal to activate the social media presence of Music House Publications by doing the following things:

1. Maintaining a live and active Facebook page by posting to it daily a new tip or a link to new or existing music score.
2. Pursuing an ongoing relationship with our customers through interaction on Facebook, Twitter and blogs.

I intend to make my pages compelling by frequently adding photos of the title pages from our library of scores and by offering tips on either performance or composition by our composers and arrangers.  This will hopefully help create loyalty between customers and composers.

Finally, it is my conviction to be a good manager of my social media presence by monitoring statistics of visits, likes, etc. and adjusting my plan accordingly.

MHP Mission Statement

It is the mission of Music House Publications to provide 2 services:  giving the general public high quality sheet music scores and giving composers and arrangers an easy and effective way to share their music.

To provide high quality music, each score is checked carefully for mistakes in the rules of theory and form as well as the engraving itself.  We also work hard to provide music which is pertinent to the current needs of our customers in terms of instrumentation and voicing.

To provide a way for composers and arrangers to share their music, MHP allows them to keep the copyright for their scores and requires no exclusivity.  Unlike the paper publishers, we also do not filter our acceptance of new scores by what is currently selling.

Music House Publications' enjoys a friendly relationship with a growing number of customers and composers with whom we share one priority: sharing good music.

Here is the URL to my Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Music-House-Publications/107351875977379#!/

It needs a ton of work and 6 more likes before I can get the "insights".

Thanks,
