Social media has become a primary way for people to share information online, with over 1 billion Facebook users and 55 million tweets daily. Social media represents a powerful way for businesses to introduce themselves and share information, especially video which is shared more often. Social media marketing involves using social networks to introduce new people to a business while engaging existing audiences in ongoing conversations. It allows businesses to reach far beyond their current audience. Social media also lets businesses communicate directly with customers to build relationships and trust.

3. WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING?
Chances are, you already use at least one online social network regularly in your personal life, to connect
with friends, talk about hobbies and interests, recommend products, restaurants or movies, and more.
At its most basic, Social Media Marketing is simply taking advantage of these networks and connections
to introduce new people to your business, brand or service while engaging your existing audience in an
ongoing conversation.
The potential of Social Media Marketing to increase the number of people who know about your
business is virtually unlimited. Unlike Email Marketing, in which you are tailoring your message to a
known and specific group of recipients, Social Media Marketing allows you to reach far beyond your
known audience, and catch the attention of millions who may not otherwise hear about your brand. Each
time someone in your network responds to your message, members of their own network can see that
interaction, introducing your brand to an entirely new and different audience.
Social Media Marketing also offers the opportunity to communicate with your customers directly, creating
an “open line” to nurture relationships and build trust. Customers use social media to ask questions about
products, seek a shortcut to customer service, discover sales and specials, and more.And when they find
what they’re looking for, they use social media to tell the world about it.

5. SOCIAL MEDIA BEST PRACTICES
• Social media is a two-way conversation. Respond to and converse with your customers—and do it using video—
whenever possible.
• Social media marketing is not an occasional or “when you remember” endeavor. Think of your group of followers
as a garden—it needs careful daily attention to grow.
• Customers often follow brands on social media to get special discounts, deals and offers. Give them what they
want! Offering exclusive deals to social media users is a great way to build your followers and inspire customers
to spread the word about your brand on their own.
• Always expand your other marketing efforts into social media.Whenever you send aVideo Email orVideo
Newsletter, share it to your social networks.
• Always expand your social media marketing efforts back into your Email and other marketing efforts. Invite
followers to visit your site, join your mailing list, visit your showroom, etc.
• Never use your personal social media profiles as your primary business channels. Create brand-specific profiles
for your social networks.
• Don’t feel overwhelmed by the need to constantly generate your own content. Sharing, forwarding,
reposting and linking to existing content that’s relevant to your brand or industry can be just as
effective and appreciated.
• Pay attention to what your followers on different social networks are talking about, and
tailor your content accordingly.
• Add links to your social media profiles on ALL of your
materials, from your website to allVideo Emails andVideo
Newsletters that you send.
• Never be afraid to ask your followers questions. Invite
them to participate in your brand. Find out what they
like about it, what they’d like to see more of, etc.
• Most of all, HAVE FUN! Share the things that make
you laugh or smile. Creating an entertaining and
engaging social-media atmosphere for your customers
and followers can do wonders for your business.
