Social Media Marketing

What is social media marketing and does your business really need it?

Yes, and here’s why…

Marketing has changed over the years. Do you remember the Yellow Pages phonebooks? How many people do you know still use them? Probably not many, if any at all. There are always things that go by the wayside to make room for something new.

Enter the internet and exit the Yellow Pages and any other outdated marketing methods that don’t work anymore. You have to go where the people are if you want to get their attention…

And that’s on social media!

What is Social Media Advertising?

Social media advertising, also known as social network advertising, are terms that are used to describe online advertising that uses social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Houzz, and others to market their message to a targeted group of people.

Why is Social Media so Important for my Business?

Social media is where most people go to socialize, get their news, current events, product and service reviews, and to shop. You have to go where the people are if you want to get your marketing messages in front of them.

You can bet your competitors are using all their social media avenues to reach their target market, brand their business and increase their profits. And if you’re not, you are losing customers. Guaranteed!

What are the Benefits of Social Media for Businesses?

There are plenty of benefits that come from using social media, such as:

• It’s free (unless you are buying ads, which is still much less expensive than paying for traditional ads)
• Messages that go viral provide you with free advertising and brand awareness opportunities
• Reach highly targeted audiences
• Increase your brand’s awareness and loyalty
• Gather valuable customer insight and other analytical data
• Generate quality business leads
• Engage with your customers and enrich their brand experience
• Increase your website traffic
• Share content quickly and easily
• Effectively target your content
• Build customer relationships

How Can Using Facebook Benefit my Business?

Using Facebook allows you to engage with your customers on a more personal level and provides them with a place where they can voice their opinions and feel more like they are a part of your brand and the community associated with your brand. This, in turn, helps create goodwill and loyalty for your brand as well.

How Can Using Twitter Benefit my Business?

Twitter is a great way to stay connected with your customers by sending them short Tweets. These short messages are quick and easy to send, as well as for your customers to read and they are generally almost always read, unlike email and other methods of communication.

How Can Using LinkedIn Benefit my Business?

Having a LinkedIn company page gives you a place where you can tell your brand’s story, engage with like-minded followers, share business opportunities and give you an outlet for your word of mouth marketing.
