How Not Using Social Media Marketing is Gambling with Your Business!

General Motors determined their ROI from blogging by researching how much it would cost to reach the same number of people using regular advertising channels.

If you skipped the whole ROI thing for a moment it is still worth messing with for what it can do for your business.

You can save money and increase customer satisfaction!

You can increase awareness of your products!

Of course the first step is setting goals!

You create a map that will allow you to reach those goals.  A dot to dot to make sure you don’t vary off path.  You’ll then set up activities that will allow you to reach each dot on you map.

But let’s look at everything social media can do as a whole.

If you’ve got some negative news coming out about a product recall, your goal should be to protect your brand reputation.  The measure of success would NOT be an increase in sales or profits, but rather an increase in positive reputation or a reduction of negative search results.

Social media can not only help to improve positive search results, but it can also reduce angry phone calls to customer service.

Something as simple as signing up for a single social network to do a few tests should NOT be left to chance.  To get something out of anything we first have to set goals that can be measured.  Otherwise it’s like going on a trip with no directions and no idea of where you are going.  But somehow you believe you are making great time.

  • Social Media Enhances Brand Awareness
  • Social Media Increases the Reach of Your Brand Message.
  • Social Media Increases Online Conversations About Your Brand.
  • Social Media can Increase Consumer Preferences for your Brand Over your Competitors.
  • Social Media Increase your Brands Online Appeal.

So what do we get out of social media?

  1. An increase sales.
  2. Decrease in cost of doing business
  3. An improving customer satisfaction level.

Social media marketing allows you to enhance brand awareness.  Enhance the image of your product in the market.

Social media allows you to look at your business and product from the eyes of your customers, partners, vendors and everyone else.  Social media marketing can build a more positive brand and increase the public’s awareness of you.

Protecting your brand’s reputation should be important enough to get you to set aside 15 minutes a day even if there was no increase in sales.

Let’s say you’ve got a business selling links.

Google does an update and all your clients see a drop in rankings.  The internet goes wild calling for you to be beheaded.   But lucky for you, you’ve already got all your social media channels in place.

All you need to do is figure out how you’ll respond to the crisis.  Once you do that you are able to listen to the online conversations and amplify any positive claims or conversations.  You are also able to use the social media sites to protect your reputation in the search engines.

Social media marketing can increase positive online mentions of your brand and decrease negative online mention.

Building and maintaining relations with various audiences in the public will reflect positively upon the company, organization, or person doing the building.  Social media aligns with public relations.

Social media marketing allows you to build relationships directly with your customers, groups, organization and bloggers with influence and reach.  Social media removes the filters between the company and its customers.  Social media marketing allows the company to build a community of loyal customers, raving fans, and product evangelist.  With loyal fans and advocates rushing to defend your company when it is criticized it moves you into a new playing field.

Although enhancing customer service should be the most important reason for using social media marketing.  It’s pretty simple really!

How can I help you?

  • Social media can reduce calls to your call center, and boost word-of-mouth marketing.
  • Social media marketing can increase your customer satisfaction levels.
  • Social media marketing can Increase positive online mentions of your company.
  • Social media marketing can decrease negative mentions.
  • Social media marketing can help with research and development.
  • Social media marketing can be used for market research.

Social media can generate new product ideas for your company and help improve your product in your current product lines.

And yes, social media marketing can drive leads and sales.

But it’s not some mystical magical by product of joining a conversation.  You have to set goals and objectives around using social media.  And measure them.

Social media marketing can and has generated leads and sales from blog visitors.  Social media marketing increases conversion rates.  Social media marketing increases repeat business.

When you add marketing to social media it becomes all about business!

We are no longer experimenting.  Social media professionals are helping businesses grow. A few years ago social media hit the marketplace all hyped up about nothing.  Social media marketers wanted everyone to just hold hands.  Somehow this became the idea for social media marketing.

That is what will not work!

We have to make money.  The new consumer requires us to engage and talk but knotted up in that conversation has to be a dollar sign.

Social media marketing becomes realistic, actionable, and measurable when you approach it strategically.

    How can unions leverage social media to increase communication about the union movement, to members and the general public? What messages should be included in the outreach?

    Trying to find out what I would need to major in to do social media marketing and some good universities to go to. I have found I would like that a lot and just trying to get an idea. If it is social media marketing I apologize, google has not been too helpful.

    I’m doing a school project on what business will be like in 2035 and I was thinking that since social media is a huge part of our lives already, it will probably be one of the main things we use in 2035. I was thinking that I’d use social media and technology to present the project, since there is no oral mark. Either that, or make a sort movie/video report. Any ideas or opinions on what I should do?

    When you have been on mySpace and Facebook for months or even years, do you get tired of them and look for something new? If not to replace the other sites, but to explore new ones?

    What would you like to see in a social media site that facebook, myspace and twitter does not offer?

  12. Patty Guest says:

    I have a job interview this week at an ad agency and one thing they asked was that I demonstrate my knowledge of social media and online media. I have a lot of experience online through twitter, facebook, blogging, etc. But I need to show that in person, and most likely without a computer. I have a few ideas that I’ve started, but want to see if anyone has any creative suggestions or advice?

  13. Marcie Carew says:

    With social media being such a helpful tool for so many artists these days, namely musicians, how come the same can’t be said for unpublished writers?

  14. Abbey Spencer says:

    With social media being a prominent mode to gain popularity, companies streamline their efforts to build an entire presence through twitter, facebook & other popular social media outlets.
    Talking about ROI, it is indispensable to form parameters before measuring the profits for a company.
    Hence, business and marketing professionals who embark on the journey of social media should define what they want to achieve from using social media outlets

    and what impact will it leave in the future? positive or negative?

    Yes, social media provides new marketing methods and all, but then again, most of the entertainment business’ revenue comes from advertisers. so, social media might be an ally and an enemy at the same time.

    and i dont believe selling DVD’s or songs help, as final customers tend to find ways of getting them for free. and making laws and regulations against it will hurt the relationship between the suppliers and these final customers.

    Could anyone give me the names of any companies they have heard of that are like I have explained, and they don’t have to be in Silicon Valley.

I was thinking that I’d use social media and technology to present the project, since there is no oral mark. Either that, or make a sort movie/video report. Any ideas or opinions on what I should do?

    I have a job interview this week at an ad agency and one thing they asked was that I demonstrate my knowledge of social media and online media. I have a lot of experience online through twitter, facebook, blogging, etc. But I need to show that in person, and most likely without a computer. I have a few ideas that I’ve started, but want to see if anyone has any creative suggestions or advice?

    With social media being such a helpful tool for so many artists these days, namely musicians, how come the same can’t be said for unpublished writers?

    Hello!

    I wonder if you are affected by social media when you buy products from China? i.e. if you as a customer do some kind of research on the internet before buying a product from China?

    Could Social media affect your buying decision?
    ( What I mean with social media could be for example community, product review online and feedback fom earlier buyers through Internet )

    I will be very grateful for your comment!
