You Need to Engage in Social Media!

Social Media is changing the way businesses look at advertising and allowing them to engage in new, fresh and creative ways of tapping into the light-hearted, social  side of marketing.

Kate Buck Jr., whom I consider an expert on Social Media, said on a conference call recently, that “Social Media is just like one big Hug”- I couldn’t agree more. Even though you aren’t face to face,  interacting with your target market, you are advertising a higher level of awareness for your clients in an online social format.

Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg,  describes Facebook as a social utility that helps people communicate more efficiently with their friends, families and coworkers.   Facebook is really so much more than a social network.  It has changed the dynamics of relationships, how we relate and communicate with one another, and how we discover, share and learn. Facebook and Social Media are redesigning the web, and changing  how people connect forever. The world is literally becoming smaller, as we connect more and as a result, businesses are forced to compete for the attentions of every consumer.

Yes! We all need to still have face-to-face interactions with one another. We’re wired for personal interactions.  They develop a true sense of friendship and connectedness, yet the “social” end of social media allows us to be linked together by our tool- the computer.

(3) Points to Ponder:

1. At the end of the day, YOU still are the best representative of your own brand or company.  When you interact with your clients and/or customers, it enables you to feel the pulse of how they are reacting to the goods or services that you offer.
2. Partnering with a Social Media Manager enables you to concentrate on the lifeblood of your business: profits and production. I  take on the bulk of your marketing plan and comingle it with what you are already doing well, then enhance it with an online presence for your business: be it Facebook Pages, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many more. This optimizes the plan and reaches a whole new layer of your target market.
3. Social Media is not a fad! It’s here to stay  and it’s ready to reach out and make a believer out of you.

Go Be Awesome!
