Social Media Marketing Connects You Directly with Customers to Grow Your Business

“How can I leverage the New Marketing of Social Media to grow my business?”

This is one of the hottest marketing topics of the day, attracting billions of dollars per day from the giants in industry like GE, GM, and Ford.  

Consider the “evolution” of social media marketing:

• 100 years ago, almost all commerce was face to face and one on one.  
• 50 years ago, large corporations became the norm and there was often a wall erected between company and customers
• Corporations blasted their messages out with TV, Radio and Print ads
• 99% of communications was one way — out
• Consumers had no voice and limited ways to communicate their voice
• Now with the Internet connecting millions of customers to each other through social media, consumers have a strong voice with Blogs, U-Tube videos and many more outlets
• Consumers ARE talking to each other
• If you (the corporation) leave the wall up, YOU will be the one left out

So, in its simplest form, Social Media Marketing is just breaking down those walls and joining the conversation about your company that is already going on out in the Social Media world.

Sounds “Scary” but consider these benefits:

• Be where customers are discussing your products and services
• Drive traffic to your website
• Build relationships and get real feedback
• Hear what your customers have to say, it will make you a better company
• Once you are trusted, you have a group who wants to hear what’s new from your company
• Your marketing ROI is significantly higher by talking to customers who want to hear
• Branding by helping and educating, not blasting a cute message to the masses
