How Use Social Networking With Your Business
How Use Social Networking With Your Business
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Linked-In, there are far too many to count... and for that matter, too many to remember. It's very easy for a business owner to feel overwhelmed when it comes to marketing your products and services. It's no longer just as simple at putting an ad in the paper, buying a radio commercial, or having a TV commercial created. While your customers still use radio and TV quite heavily you need to be in more than one place to make a true impact on your customers lives, and to make them take action. Bottom line: The consumer needs that little extra reminder that you exist. The good news is... the cost of having a presence on social media outlets is free. It just takes some time and effort for it to pay off big time, if done correctly.
When you use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter effectively, you can reach thousands of potential clients with a meaningful message on a daily basis. But how do you get these potential clients to become your "Friend" or "Follow you" if you're starting from scratch? That's where traditional media comes in. Recently a major restaurant chain wanted to dramatic increase its "followers" or "fans" on Facebook. To do this, they launched a campaign on TV and Radio asking people to sign up and be their "Fan" on Facebook, the message clearly stated that if "a set amount of people became a "fan" by a select date, every one of them would get a coupon for a free burger". The result... thousands of people became a "fan" and many of them told their friends to become "Fans" as well, and so on and so on. In the end, every single one of them were given a free burger.
So now this restaurant chain has loads of "Followers/Fans"... Now what? If the restaurant uses their social networking wisely, they can make meaningful offers, share viral videos, bits of humor, all in an effort to be "top of mind" with their target customer. It's not just a matter of posting the daily specials, their "posts" than fall onto their fans "feeds" cannot be spammy in any way, shape, or form.
Do they abandon all other forms of media now? Certainly not. This is a mistake many make, simply dismissing radio or TV as "old". Remember how they got these followers? The "old" media drove them there, obviously they still work, and work quite well. The restaurant simply now has another way of being in front of their target clientele.
What we are witnessing is the evolution of a new venue for marketing. Just as the evolution from billboards lead to print lead to radio led to TV led to internet, and now to social marketing. None of the mediums died, they simply created more places to reach your customers. The businesses that are reaching their target clientele, still use all of these mediums in some way shape or form. All of them are effective at delivering different messages. Some in making direct offers, some in branding top of mind name recognition, some in garnering excitement and evoking emotion and action. They all work hand in hand. If you would like advice or help with integrating social networking into your current marketing plan feel free to email or call me at any time, I'd be happy to share some thoughts and advice.
