What about Social Media Marketing?
Using social media to market your business is an opportunity that needs to be considered for all small businesses, regardless of whether you are local, provide a service to businesses or to consumers. Social Media are tools that encourage community building and conversations that can help you develop relationships that could turn into business over time.
Social media itself is NOT marketing. Social media, like your website or blog, is a means to an end, not the end itself. These tools help you build visibility and credibility for you and your business, making it easy for you to demonstrate your expertise.

You still need to define and execute the right tactics to attract your ideal client and interact with them so they want to do business with you

Social media is one of the new media channels that you can use to communicate to your target market and gain visibility for your business. It is very popular right now because it:
But it shouldnt be done in a vacuum. It needs to be part of an integrated marketing plan that includes traditional marketing tactics that compliment the social media activities. And even if you think social media marketing is not for you, having a social media strategy will help you get found on the Internet by your ideal client because search engines love social media and your Web site will be found more easily by those looking for what you offer.
If you are looking for a quick way to jump start your social media activities, I also offer a three hour tele-clinic or workshop to groups of 10 or more called Get Connected, Get Found. Covering the major social media forces, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, we focus on how to use these tools for marketing purposes. These sessions can be scheduled on demand for your group or organization. Contact me to schedule this for your organization or group of small business owners.
Discover how you can develop effective marketing strategies that will help you grow your business quickly and cost-effectively. People want to do business with those they like and trust, and a marketing plan that includes traditional and social media marketing enables you to build trust and relationships, establish your expert reputation and attract your ideal client.
