Social Networking

Make Smarter Digital Marketing Decisions:
Do you tweet and twitter? Is your company’s face on facebook and Linked-in, are you a member of a ning network? Social networking is a low-cost way to raise your company’s profile, connect with clients and extend your advertising dollars.

 

Think of social networking as “word of mouth” for the Internet age. Facebook, MySpace and the like are hugely popular with millions of people around the world using them to communicate with friends and clients.  See how you can use sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Linked-in to better connect with your target market. We can help give you a kick-start in social networking so you can stay ahead of the curve.

Ideas to get you started:

Building trust:

First, spend time on forums and groups looking for questions about issues in which you are an expert. Responding to the problem with free advice will demonstrate you are worth doing business with.

We advise posting a 100 word ad in relevant specialist groups. "You can expect quick responses as many people check their Facebook accounts religiously.

Turn negatives into positives:

The plethora of social networking portals means businesses are open to an increased chance of being criticized. Dismissed staff, unhappy customers or devious competitors can post negative comments about your business all over the Internet. But the experts agree that it is not necessarily a bad thing. It can actually be turned into a business benefit.
We need to move away from the old way where businesses are pushing a message to an audience that is supposedly passive to the new way where you get live feedback from your potential or existing clients. If that feedback is negative, it's an opportunity for you to improve."How you respond is the important issue. It's how you react to the negative publicity, which demonstrates your skills, experience and professionalism more than the fact the negativity is there.
