Social Media Overview

Today businesses are adding social media to their marketing plans. Maybe you’re wondering why? Isn’t this for teenagers? A few of the benefits you can gain from using these communities include: reputation management, the ability to gain insight from your consumers, monitor “buzz” about your brand, become a thought leader among your peers and customers, and offering customer service/support.

Getting started with this new marketing medium can be time-consuming and overwhelming if you don’t know where to begin. Before you set up profiles for anything and everything, here are 6 major platforms that are worth considering.

  1. Blogs
  2. Facebook
  3. MySpace
  4. Twitter
  5. LinkedIn
  6. YouTube

Your website should also include RSS feeds and links to your social media profiles. It should be another resource for your customers that engages and informs them. The more ways you can touch your audience, the greater the opportunity to convert them into customers.

This is a big transition and it can be hard to handle alone.  At MLT Group Advertising & Marketing we offer consulting services that help you cross the chasm. Call us today and we’ll be happy to guide you through the ever changing landscape of social media.
