- Before we begin we would like to hear more about youWhy are you here?What do you expect to receive form this presentation?Anyone?In all marketing efforts, as in social media, we must ask these same questions of our customers.Who are they?Why do they use a particular social networking site?Why would someone on this site be interested in my product or services?
- Now that we know some more about who we are, and why we are here, let’s discuss, briefly, what is “social media”?The best way to define Social Media is to break it down in the two components.Social means living together in communities, it means companionship and in general, it refers to human interactions.Mediais a means for distributing information. So Social Media is the distribution of information that allows for human interactions.Up until recently we had only “mass media”: TV, radio, and print. Mass media wasn’t social.Consumers only received information. We didn’t participate and it is a very expensive way to market our business.So forget mass media [click].Social Media has allowed small business owners to competed with giants like Amazon, Target and even WalmartYou might even want to think of social media as “word of mouth”, but it’s so much more.

Be genuine and helpful6. People are there to relax, socialize, and communicateUse these rules to establish the right voice for your company and therefore how you want to be perceived
- Home Depot is an example of a company that successfully followed these guidelines of listening,engaging, relinquishing control and giving generously. Google “Home Depot” and you’ll find social media everywhere:photos on Flickr, videos on YouTube, wall postings on Facebook. Some of it is negative.

People took photos and shot videos which ended up on Facebook, Flickr and Youtube.Home Depot created a positive experience. Their customers voluntarily published their positive experience, were very helpful in counteracting the negative comments.Let’s spend the next few minutes discussing a some of these sites and tools, What are their demographics?
