Give yourself some Love
Don’t have time for social media marketing? Even if you DO have the time, why should you?
Here are 12 reasons why you need to:
◆ Today your customers/clients expect to engage with you online – even if it’s to share thoughts, ideas, opinions or have a chat
◆ According to Harris Interactive Survey, “More than half 54% of all online adults said social media content has influenced their online transactions. Can your customers buy from you on-line?
◆ If you don’t have a Social Media Marketing strategy, you’ll soon have more time on your hands. Do a search “Consumer Behavior & Social Media” on Google to discover for yourself
◆ Watch this video
◆ Social media is word of mouth on steroids – referrals, viral, being the talk of the town, if you don’t know what they are saying how can you respond or improve your business?
◆ What’s your vision for your business – perhaps it’s time to write it down and make it BIGGER
◆ One thing we can learn from the Dell’s and Zappo’s social media implementations is to involve everyone. Dell uses a couple of hundred people in their efforts and Zappos has something like 90% of their employees tweeting. Develop social media guidelines and engage and empower your employees across the board to take part. You may find yourself fielding a much richer, more meaningful, more rewarding social media experience as a result.
◆ You’ll have more time to market and attract new customers
◆ Are there new markets/niches that you could serve online?
◆ Check out David Meerman on Viral Marketing: How to Create a World Wide Rave
◆ Do a survey of what tools your customers/clients are using and start using them
◆ Which would you rather be in an 8 track player world? or Be in the IPod world?
