ODESSA Exhibitors and attendees at the Permian Basin International Oil Show eschewed tweeting for the face-to-face networking that a trade show offers.
Unlike the technology and entertainment industries that rely on social media to recruit and retain customers particularly during trade shows that get international coverage exhibitors at the oil show were content with giving away free items and displaying their wares and business cards like it was still the dial-up Internet age. None of the exhibitors signs or flyers were inundated with the row of social media logos that are now standard on everything from restaurant takeout bags to business cards.
And to one Odessa-based exhibitor that specializes in seals and bearings, the traditional social networking method of face-to-face interaction and relationship-building is what keeps his company in business, not Facebook likes or Instagram-filtered imagery.
Most of our marketing is done directly, or client-based, which are primarily the large independents and the major oil companies, said Greg Masters of Odessa Babbitt Bearing Co. We found that theyre not much of a social media-based market. We found that its much better to work directly with them.
To confirm how unnecessary social media is for the oil industry, Masters said that because his company has been in business for 54 years, it has ongoing relationships it has maintained with companies over the years.
Masters did not rule out social media for the entire industry though, saying that startup companies in the industry may want to use social media.
One Odessa-based company that is relatively new to the oil game, Power Industrial Transmission, was founded in 2008 and utilizes social media for some aspects. Though the company was not making Facebook posts during the oil show, CEO George Orosco said the company uses the platform to tell customers of the companys latest news, including an expansion into Hobbs, New Mexico.
Its a cheap way to get news out there, Orosco said.
But when asked how necessary social media is for the oil industry as a whole, Orosco said he was unsure.
The oil industry seems to be behind on (social media) and things like that, Orosco said.

Social media takes back seat to in-person networking
As it fights to remain a leader in enterprise social networking (ESN) among giant rivals, pure-play vendor Jive Software has been furiously integrating its suite with the most popular business software, now adding the Google Docs productivity applications.
With the Connector for Google Docs, users will be able to create, call up, co-edit and add comments to Docs, Sheets and Slides files from within the Jive suites interface. Jive users will work on the same live documents residing in Google data centers, so all changes and comments will be visible right away to people accessing the files from within the Google environment.
The decision to build this new connector came from the realization that the use of Google Docs has been growing very quickly among its customers, said Clara Liang, Jives chief product officer.
Jive believes in offering our customers the ability to integrate with whatever tools theyre using, Liang said. The support for Google Docs deepens Jives integration with the Google Apps email and collaboration suite, since Jive had been previously linked with Gmail and Google Drive.
ESN products that cant be incorporated into users daily workflow are more likely to be ignored and eventually abandoned, so Jive has been busy linking its suite with third-party business software for years. Its integrated with Salesforce.com, Ciscos WebEx, Box, Dropbox, Evernote, as well as with the on-premises versions of popular Microsoft products, including Outlook, Lync, Office and SharePoint.
Last month, Jive announced a plan to mesh its suite with Microsofts Office 365 cloud suite, and on Wednesday its rolling out the first piece of that project: an integration with Outlook.com.
Jive also announced on Wednesday improvements to its JiveX external collaboration suite, which is designed to build external, customer-facing online communities and support sites. New features include the ability to assign role badges to participants in the external community site, so that visitors can identify their expertise, such as community administrators, moderators, experts and champions.
JiveX will now also let visitors rate replies to questions, to give others a sense of which are the most useful. The product has new analytics designed to give managers stats on the value and return on investment of their community sites.
Jives iOS and Android apps are also getting a makeover. The iOS app has been redesigned so its easier to view content and pictures, offering better handling of long comment threads, according to Jive. The Android app now lets users follow content, people and places.
Jive made the announcements at its JiveWorld 14 conference in Las Vegas. The new products and features will be rolled out to users of the cloud versions of its Enterprise and Essentials Plus suites next month at no extra charge.
