— pamfong7 (@pamfong7) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:40:10 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4. Feature them, whether on your blog or social media accounts. #JVMChat

Also a little recognition goes a long way. #JVMChat
— vegecomgirl (@vegecomgirl) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:40:37 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4) Go off-channel. Calls, hangouts, in person when possible, handwritten notes, swag (stickers and such). Show the love. #JVMChat
— ChristinKardos (@ChristinKardos) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:40:38 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Thank you always goes along way. #jvmchat

— IanGertler (@IanGertler) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:06 GMT-0400 (EDT)
#JVMChat A4: Discounts and brand swag and VIP access come to mind first off.
— guidingtype (@guidingtype) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:13 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4: if they’re paid, you can do ‘bonus’ packages based on what you have them do. If not, I like to throw ambassador dinners etc #jvmchat
— LUCYrk78 (@LUCYrk78) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:16 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4: Exactly that, recognition. Free stuff is a plus, but also access to beta-testing or events. Strengthen their love of your biz #jvmchat
— NezarFreeny (@NezarFreeny) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:18 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4. Thank them with e-mails and special offers. Depends on the company. #JVMchat

@jayvig @willaaye And after this winter? At least come visit before we’re underwater! #JVMChat
— ungerwoman (@ungerwoman) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:43 GMT-0400 (EDT)
@JayVig @sexyhair Valid point. I suppose that’s depends on the individual and what the subject matter was about. #JVMChat
— GlendaVee (@GlendaVee) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:48 GMT-0400 (EDT)
@CBarrows That recognition is sometimes just what’s needed. If I tag a biz in a photo or tweet, it’s gratifying that they reply. #JVMChat
— AnOrchidInBloom (@AnOrchidInBloom) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:49 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Ahh I hate to MT a tweet me & @LUCYrk78 just got from @BeyondMeat but that’s how you recognize folks! #JVMChat
— vegecomgirl (@vegecomgirl) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:41:50 GMT-0400 (EDT)
@NuviSteve I’ve sometimes seen it as dating, or at least courtship. #JVMChat
— Ares_0926 (@Ares_0926) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:01 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4) Ask what you can do! First call I went on w/ @isocialfanz that was the first thing he did. “How can we help YOU?” #JVMChat
— ChristinKardos (@ChristinKardos) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:06 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4: I also like to reward my ambassadors with cool experiences as a thank you…things they wouldn’t get without our contacts… #jvmchat
— LUCYrk78 (@LUCYrk78) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:13 GMT-0400 (EDT)
@vegecomgirl Everyone likes to be featured! #jvmchat
— ThinkSEM (@ThinkSEM) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:17 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4 add the “You’re welcome” to the Hello” and “Thank you” what you were saying prev @CBarrows Show gratitude for their work #JVMChat
— jacobhenenberg (@jacobhenenberg) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:28 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Q4: #JVMChat I love the idea of showing them with your products and blasting it out to social media. Cross promotion for solopreneurs.
— Elspeth81 (@Elspeth81) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:31 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4: Acknowledge them on social media, give specific rewards to reflect their tastes, and write a hand written thank you note. #jvmchat

@jedrecord Hey guys Meerkatting live from #jvmchat
— JedRecord (@JedRecord) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:34 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4 I acknowledge our Brand Ambassadors often. Small gestures like buying breakfast & supplying snacks during an event. Food is key #JVMChat
— Christine_Chen6 (@Christine_Chen6) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:38 GMT-0400 (EDT)
@JayVig @GreenChileAdict @AnOrchidInBloom New 2 this so IMHO but I suppose an official Ambassador (user) vs unofficial (employee) #JVMChat
— Plumlytics (@Plumlytics) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:42:44 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Companies who hire for the paycheck workers deserve them. And vice verse. #JVMchat @GreenChileAdict @KristinJPHR @ChristinKardos @TheMalia

@AnOrchidInBloom @CBarrows I agree- acknowledgment goes a long way! I’ve favorited tweets that have done that for me #JVMChat
— LUCYrk78 (@LUCYrk78) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:43:12 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4. Reach out to them. Offer discounts, promotions, etc. #JVMChat
— SMB_Adviser (@SMB_Adviser) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:43:12 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Don’t some company websites allow people to share their photos of them using the product? Powerhouse marketing right there. #JVMchat

— ungerwoman (@ungerwoman) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:43:27 GMT-0400 (EDT)
A4) Recognize ambassadors according to how they represent. Ie, social media shoutouts for social advocates & promos for referrals. #jvmchat
— CrowdContent (@CrowdContent) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:43:29 GMT-0400 (EDT)
@PSEO_Inc Food works for me! LOL #JVMChat

@KristinJPHR Many effective salespeople so money-driven that product is irrelevant. IMO this is outdated, Millenials won’t do #JVMchat

— NezarFreeny (@NezarFreeny) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:44:33 GMT-0400 (EDT)
