Softline Home Fashions Featured in Specialty Fabrics Review

Veteran EKC client Softline Home Fashions is featured in this month's issue of Specialty Fabrics Review, a top trade publication for the textile industry! Softline CEOs Jason & Rodney Carr were asked how their business has benefited from social media marketing. Check out the guys' response below:

Jason and Rodney Carr, co-founders and CEOs of Softline Home Fashions Inc., Gardena, Calif., leading distributors of drapery and decorative fabrics, actively started using social media tools in 2009. They find that “Facebook and Twitter have a different audience than our already existing customer base, which served as an opportunity to grow our brand. The feedback we’ve received reveal that customers feel like they are more informed about what we have to offer and are more knowledgeable about our products. This is encouraging for us because we have many repeat customers.”

Besides identifying new markets, new products and garnering free market research through customer feedback, social media can increase your website traffic, generate qualified leads, build brand authority and promote your products and services.

While these online tools are often free, updating the various accounts, writing blog posts and other content does take time—and talent. Be sure to factor that into your plans. According to the Carrs, another potential downside is that “not only are your customers following you, but your competitors as well. They can easily see what your next move in business will be, so it’s essential to be strategic in your approach.” (read more...)

GotCast's Alec Shankman Talks About Hollywood & Technology

Alec Shankman, CEO of GotCast.com and client of EKC, was recently interviewed by SoCalTech.com. Alec talks about how he started the leading online interactive casting platform, and shares his thoughts about the intersection of Hollywood and technology:

At a high level, what does Gotcast do?

Alec Shankman: Gotcast is the largest online interactive casting platform. We basically open up the casting business ranging from regionalized projects to studio films, to the rest of the country, allowing them to submit themselves and get their own fan base involved in securing roles.

What's your background and how did you start Gotcast?

Alec Shankman: I moved here from Ohio in 2003. I immediately started at a company called Abrams Artist Agency, where I started the Alternative Programing Department, which I subsequently ran for nearly seven years. I represented TV hosts, broadcast journalists, radio DJs, TV producers, and as time went on and reality TV got a little more bizarre, I was repping experts out there, like the Pickup Artists on VH1, the Deadliest Catch fishermen, the Bravo's Million Dollar Listing-type experts out there, and it just helped me realized there were a need for interesting experts, like carpenters, etc. But, there was no good way for Hollywood to find them. I got to talking with Wil Schroter, who was an old business associate of mine and old friend, and we thought it could be very interesting to create a place where Hollywood could reach out to find people. It actually has been working very well. People who are agents, like I used to be, and producers, casting directors, etc.--they're now finding talent all over the country. We have amazing testimonials for people getting hired--like E! News, ABC competition game shows, feature films, etc.--people around the country who otherwise would never have a shot. (read more...)
