                                                         not being talked about (Oscar Wilde)

      To explain in a bit more detail what Social Media is and its benefits

      need to embrace – you will have ideas about how to expand offline, but you have to
      be seen to be using the same channels online

      To demonstrate that Social Media marketing needn‟t be a content safari but
      effective usage of it will increase customer loyalty whilst driving traffic back to your
      website

      How to showcase online what a great business you have!

      To demonstrate how either a new or successful and long-established company with
      a solid offline reputation can promote awareness online

 What is Social Media?
      The online equivalent of word of mouth, the oldest form of marketing in the world yet still
      the most powerful and driven by people
      It is permanent, broadcast and doesn’t rely on somebody remembering and acting on what
      they have heard about a business and then passing it on to somebody else.
      A method of reliably spreading your message to a group of people who want to hear what
      you have to say – you then TELL them through your selected channels.
      An ongoing practice, the immediate purpose of which is not to generate leads & business
      but share information & engage in the same way that you would in the real world, such as
      at a networking event or conference.
      The same rules apply online as offline, e.g. you wouldn’t pitch at the person you just said
      hello to at a networking event.
      People will look up the products and services that your company offers – if you’re not
      putting that information online, who is? You need to stay in control of your communication
      The problem with Social Media is ‘Social Media’ – by which I mean the connotations it
      elicits for many businesses. There is so much out there and new things all the time
      claiming to be better than the last
      It’s here to stay whether you love it or hate it – last month was Social Media Week across
      the globe

 Benefits for you as a business owner?
      Social Media enables you to reach markets you may not otherwise have access to for
      virtually no cost, other than in time & effort
      Conduct competitor analysis and stay ahead by posting industry information and starting
      trends before they do
      Ask questions and obtain instant feedback from customers, peers & prospects
      It creates an audit trail of online activity, which is crucial for testimonials and referrals and
      as a permanent reference point
      It’s a learning forum and also provides the ability to trial new e-learning
      The potential to increase your following – only 15% of local business’ fans are in the
      same place (Roost) – you can reach a vast audience – go VIRAL!
      People are more likely to use forms and FAQs on websites than contact a call centre
      The more active IVC appears to be online, the more you will be perceived as an open
      and honest business that isn’t afraid to share knowledge and deal with potential problems
      in an open forum - customer service - how you walk away from an experience

 Social Media channels

 There are really only FOUR STEPS:


 1. Find people interested in your products or services

 2. Post content not adverts, e.g. articles, blogs, comments, etc.

 3. Capture information with an ethical bribe for name & email address , e.g. free e-book

 4. Stay in touch and create a valuable exchange, e.g. Newsletters, webinars, etc.

 It needn‟t be a content safari!
 Choose one or two channels to start with and do them well, instead of overloading yourself
 with too many - a few simple tasks can enhance your presence:

 What about Return on Investment?
 Many companies have yet to be convinced by Social Media because it doesn’t result in short-
 term ROI, or they cannot see how it enables them to measure ROI. It is true that the impact of
 Social Media needs to be measured, but marketing based solely on ROI misses the point.

      Rather than “What‟s the ROI?” we should be asking “What does or will success look
      like?”

      Today‟s Social Media savvy customers publish and share their experiences

      Social Media is as an extension of good business ethics

      Invest in resources and building your network beyond prospects and investors

      Social Media has a far greater impact on the overall customer relationship

      See every online exchange as an opportunity to enhance & nourish relationships

      Value of Exchange rather than Monetary Return

 Summary
      Social Media is online word of mouth
      Content is King - the more you post the more you will be found
      Free PR & instant feedback
      Recommendations over advertising
      Spreads messages to those who want to hear what you have to say
      Use in conjunction with your existing strategy
      Value of exchange rather than Return on Investment
      Engage and share with customers and peers
      Doing business with people that know, like & trust you will make
      your money - Social Media is merely a platform!

  • 6. Soci@lite Tips, Tricks & Tip-offs to help you navigate the world of online marketing & master the metrics! What is Social Media? The online equivalent of word of mouth, the oldest form of marketing in the world yet still the most powerful and driven by people It is permanent, broadcast and doesn’t rely on somebody remembering and acting on what they have heard about a business and then passing it on to somebody else. A method of reliably spreading your message to a group of people who want to hear what you have to say – you then TELL them through your selected channels. An ongoing practice, the immediate purpose of which is not to generate leads & business but share information & engage in the same way that you would in the real world, such as at a networking event or conference. The same rules apply online as offline, e.g. you wouldn’t pitch at the person you just said hello to at a networking event. People will look up the products and services that your company offers – if you’re not putting that information online, who is? You need to stay in control of your communication The problem with Social Media is ‘Social Media’ – by which I mean the connotations it elicits for many businesses. There is so much out there and new things all the time claiming to be better than the last It’s here to stay whether you love it or hate it – last month was Social Media Week across the globe A presentation by © Katherine Hanson – Soci@lite March 2012
