Editor's Notes

- One reason for this ambiguity is that digital marketing is constantly evolving and new technologies are being created all the time.
- Digital marketing uses many of the same channels contained within Internet Marketing, such as the Internet, email, blogging, video, audio podcasts, ebooks, ibooks, apps etc But it extends beyond this by including other ways to reach people that do not require the use of The Internet.

- Traditional marketing is one-directional modes of communication. They require clever thinking, and often a large budget for mass advertising to generate a response and ensure customer engagement. Internet and mobile telephone technologies have revolutionised the marketing industry. Marketers can today enter into a two way dialogue with the customer This has enormous benefits. track consumer interests, get instant feedback and reporting, obtain a direct link to the customer at a relatively low cost.
- One of the most important elements of the digital revolution is the impact of social media marketing. Social media is no longer exclusively geared towards pre-adolescents and college students. In fact, more and more business owners and executives are tuning in to this lightly-tapped resource. I want to focus on today, because it’s an area that people often don’t understand, and businesses are uncertain about. has the potential to enhance and transform your current marketing strategies.
- Some people are skeptical of the effectiveness of using social media outlets as a marketing strategy. Some are simply skeptical of social media in itself. However, these skeptics will do best to come around soon, as they are missing the crucial value of social media marketing.
- According to a recent 2010 Social Media Marketing Industry report, the biggest advantage of social media marketing (by a long shot) is generating exposure for the business, indicated by 85% of all marketers, followed by increasing traffic (63%) and building new business partnerships (56%). The top social media tools being used by marketers are Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and blogs. More than half of marketers indicated a rise in search engine rankings was a benefit of social media marketing. As search engine rankings improve, so will business exposure, lead generation efforts and a reduction in overall marketing efforts.
- 1. Exposure / Branding For a small business, sometimes half the battle for success is exposure. If handled correctly (no spam), Social Media is an effective tool for generating awareness for your brand. You can use Social Media to promote content and knowledge expertise. Plus, as we'll see in a later point, Social Media provides many opportunities for networking. 2. Customer Service Use of social media makes the task of connecting with your customers infinitely easier and faster. Plus, it can save you some serious cash. It represents a huge opportunity to cut costs and reach a larger number of people then you previously could. 3. Networking / Sales Opportunities With social media sites like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook at your disposal, networking has transformed from a tedious task performed at networking meetings and other physical events, to a joyous task that can be initiated online. Minutes spent on social networks each day can help you to network with those who have similar business interests, or who have a need for the product or service you offer. Online networking can be followed up with offline engagements if and when the need arises. 4. Backlinks / Traffic Social media use can drive large amounts of traffic and backlinks for your company website. If you're producing high quality content on your site, you can use Social Media as a promotion channel for that content, which should provide traffic and valuable backlinks. Case in point, one of our marketing clients receives 10% of total site traffic from Twitter. These kinds of numbers can not be ignored - especially when you're on a budget. 5. Market Intelligence If you spend enough time with Social Media and the Internet, you soon realize that just about every website that is worth it's salt has some form of site search. Some are more advanced than others, but each at the very least provides the ability to search a websites content. More robust websites will provide advanced search options, and some will even allow you to search by geographic area. Most major social media websites provide users with these advanced search options, which enables you to run searches through networks for company, service, or industry related keywords. For example, we're able to keep track of service, product, and brand mentions for one client across seven different markets. This helps us to better understand the competitive landscape for a particular market, as well as provide quick feedback opportunities, which can inform strategic and tactical decisions.

- A recent study by market research firms Chadwick Martin Bailey and iModerate Research Technologies reveals that consumers are considerably more likely to make a purchase from a brand they follow on Facebook and Twitter, as well as to recommend that brand to friends. Among consumers polled, 51 percent of Facebook users and 67 percent of Twitter users said they are more likely to buy from the brands they "friend" or follow, while 60 percent of Facebook users and 79 percent of Twitter users are more likely to recommend those brands to others. But there's another reason to leverage these sites, and that's how consumers might perceive your brand if you don't. The study also found that Internet users now expect businesses to have "some digital face - whether it's on FB or Twitter," otherwise the opinion may be that they are "not really with it or in tune with the new ways to communicate with customers."
