So what is Social Media – and what’s all this talk about Social Media Marketing?
You’d have to be a hermit not to be aware that social media is all around us. Sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now household names.
As far as business goes, there may be some scepticism about its effectiveness, but this is largely because so many companies don’t truly understand what social media marketing is all about.

Tailor-made for the 21st century, social media is the ultimate PR tool.
Social Media is the future of Marketing and PR
The Internet has empowered consumers like never before. Not only is in-depth information available at the click of a mouse. The interactive nature of Social Media also means they can discuss, evaluate and publicise their views in real-time among like-minded peer groups.
Overnight, marketers have had to respect this shift in the balance of power and pay heed to what’s being said about their company online. Marketers also benefit of course from the massive exposure that Social Media can generate.
Companies with a command of the Social Media language can easily gain a competitive advantage that will utlimately translate into increased sales. The chart below shows the ‘virtuous circle’ associated with the Social Media process. So many aspects of this are totally new to the marketing mindset; that’s why it’s vital to make sure you’re part of the Social Media future.

Social Media Tools
Blogs
A blog should be at the heart of your social media strategy.
Search engines love blogs; blogs are key for SEO as they provide huge amounts of up-to-date content.
A blog is a great space for company updates & related articles. They can act as an extension to your website!
Facebook is the number one social networking site in the world!
Facebook enables businesses to build relationships with new and existing customers!
Business pages have built-in functionality with a potential that is largely unrecognised
Twitter is a micro-blogging service that was founded in 2006. Today, it’s an international phenomenon.
Twitter enables you to segment your target market.
It allows you to converse with your market, make and mange connections with prospects, customers, bloggers and other influencers.
‘Tweeting’ will also help to improve company rankings in search results!
LinkedIn can be used to generate new leads!
LinkedIn can be used to network with others in your industry.
Find vendors on LinkedIn to outsource services where you’re not an expert.
LinkedIn will benefit your SEO. Google gives LinkedIn company and personal profiles high authority and ranks them well.
YouTube
Create your own channel and customer base.
Viewers can subscribe to that channel. Businesses can then send out e-mails to those subscribers.
Videos create links and boost your SEO rankings. Now that Google owns YouTube, there’s the added benefit that a video on YouTube automatically goes into Google’s search engine.
