Social Media as
 a Marketing Tool

         Angela Coulter
   President, AboutFace Marketing
Women Business Owner’s Networking Group
       Friday, November 14, 2008
What is “Social Media”?


• A shift in how people discover, read, and
  share news and information and content
• It's a fusion of sociology and technology,
  tranforming monologue (one to many) into
  dialog (many to many)
• “Web 2.0”
Former Communications
Today’s Communications
Effect on Business World


• Perception: “Social media” is a playspace for
  teens, young adults, and technogeeks with
  very little application in the rest of the
  business world
• Reality: These practices have now begun to
  permeate the entire business world, much like
  how the Internet did in the late ’90s.
Pros


• You can easily reach a large number within
  your target market(s)
• Much of it is free to enter
• There are a lot of options and many
  combinations you can integrate into your
  business
• Information is disseminated more quickly than
  ever before!
Cons


• You must be willing to embrace social media
  as part of your business, or it won’t work
• It can be overwhelming
• It can be very time consuming
• The “shiny” predicament
Where to Start?


•   Become familiar with the elements
•   Assess your business’ marketing plan
•   Set your social media goals!
•   Your Website is KEY
          Take it ONE STEP at a time!
Typical Social Media Goals


Increase the activity around:
• Website traffic and user behavior
• Conversion and sales tracking
• Page views, ad exposure
• Growing brand awareness
• Creating/maintaining positive brand association
• Business development, broader customer reach
Some Basic Elements


    Key: Be as interactive as possible!

• Blogs/Vlogs/Discussion Boards
• Events/meetups
• Social networks/Microblogging
Blogs/Vlogs/Discussion Boards

• Basic, first step to your efforts!
• Most are free and/or part of Web
  hosting programs (though the
  originals are still great: WordPress
  and Blogger)
• Search engine friendly, out-of-the-
  box
• Link to other related sites/blogs
• Make sure you register with
  Technorati
• Write about something your target
  market(s) would care about that is
  related to your business (but don’t
  always make it a direct sell!)
Events/Meetups


• Create a group with
  common interest that is
  related to your business
• Have an open house – or
  better yet, set up a virtual
  open house!
• Webconferencing/
  Webcasting
Social Network Websites/
                  Microblogging

• Create/expand a
  community of
  supporters
• Improve your customer
  service
• Again, find relevant
  topics of interest (and
  cross-link!)
Summary


• Look at what’s out there (see Resources page)
• Play in it! See where it’s relevant to you and your
  business
• Look at/update your Website – make sure it’s
  presenting the right brand for your company
• In accordance to your business plan, see where
  social media might fit in – make a plan (it can be
  graduated!)
• Start doing!
Homework!


• Check out listed Resources
• Create a Twitter account (my ID is
  AngelaCoulter… Twitter me!)
• Get onto Facebook, create an account (if you
  don’t already have one)
Beginning Resources


• Me! ☺
• How to Leverage Web 2.0 & Social Media Sites to
  Market Your Brand & Control Your Message
