Social Media Marketing
When the Internet was first developed, it was used by researchers at various locations around the country to share research notes and computer programs. The internet of today really hasn’t changed that much, but because of improvements with access speeds and advances in technology, it has become a sophisticated network of online users and groups.
Thanks to the advancements in tools and technologies, online users today now share a wide variety of information via Social Networked sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and and services like Twitter and texting. The result of these changes and advancements is that more people today are able to use the internet to easily communicate with one another.
For online marketers, this also means that the rules have also changed when it comes to how consumers are finding out about new products and services. It’s no longer enough for marketers to simply put up a web site and then drive traffic to it through broadcast advertising, email marketing, or direct mail marketing.
To be successful today, marketers need to learn how to tap into the same online consumer channels, sites and networks that their customers and clients are using. This practice is sometimes referred to as “Social Media Marketing”.
The primary areas of focus for social media marketers are:
- Online Reputation Management – Manage your online reputation by monitoring the conversation about your brand. Engage with the social world to cultivate the image and branding that you desire.
- Social Media Optimization – Optimize your presence on Social Media Sites and point targeted users to your web site to increase your credibility and improve your visibilty to potential customers. This can also have a positive impact on your search engine rankings, if done correctly.
- Social Media Placements – Target your potential customers via online marketing placements on specific social networking sites to engage them in your brand through ad copy, video, and other interactive tools.
