social media marketing
Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. Google+. YouTube…the list goes on. These social networking channels are continuing their upwards spike in popularity among internet users both in Australia and worldwide. Once the domain of Gen Y’s, older users are now taking part in online social conversations too. But what exactly are they? And more importantly, how can they potentially affect your business online?
Social media marketing traditionally serves four main online marketing purposes:
- To increase traffic to your website via Facebook posts, tweets, YouTube video’s and so on
- To track perceptions about your brand in the market place (Twitter and Facebook search)
- To find, interact, engage and hopefully sell to captive audiences/customers
- As a customer service tool
If you can find users who are active and enthusiastic about your brand, why not talk to them online? Engage them. Reward them. More and more people are turning to these sites, so it makes sense to participate.
By building your brands online presence and participating online by talking to your targeted audience, you can easily increase your website’s direct marketing effectiveness as well as your website traffic. And as a further added bonus, participating socially can also assist with SEO and link building efforts too.
