Social media marketing is promotion through social networking websites. It has become much more effective than traditional marketing and is steadily increasing; television viewership has halved since 2002*.
It’s essentially about creating dynamic and engaging content which compels [or encourages] readers to share articles on various social channels. As it is promoted by visitors and customers – it circulates around the web and subsequently brand recognition rises, driving more sales and revenue.
There are various ways to harness the power of social media marketing. It is important to:
- Research and collect data to better understand customers and current trends via various social media channels
- Analyse results and customer behaviour so that website content can be directed to a specific audience
- Strategically integrate content into your website, CRM system, email and other marketing systems
