Marketing
Today the question is not if Social Media
Marketing is right for your business, the
question is how to use it right!
How the Internet Has Changed Marketing
Old Marketing = Outbound Marketing
With this old type of marketing, you are trying to reach a
broad audience and hope a small percentage (1%-3%)
respond. In other words, at least 97% of your marketing
efforts are wasted.
Examples of Outbound Marketing
• Publication Ads
• Cold calling
• Door Knocking
• Direct Mail
New Marketing = Inbound Marketing
The way people shop has changed drastically.
People are much more in control of what information they receive and
how they receive it.
Examples of Inbound Marketing:
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• Blogging
• Social Networking
• Conversation Tools
• Sophisticated Analytics
Rules of Internet Marketing
The Internet = the Unselfish Sharing of Information
• SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Means Nothing Unless you
have YEO (You Engaging Others)
• Must be Consistent
• Must not be Self-Promoting (It’s about “we” not “me”)
• The power is in the Numbers!
Advantages to Internet Marketing
• Build loyalty
• Reach consumers without interruption
• Cost for advertising and exposure is very low
• Easily can be done at any time
• Easy to shift gears and try new campaigns
• Leads come to you!
A Few Internet Marketing Tips
• Make it about “THEM”
• Give visitors a reason to return
• Offer buttons to “tell a friend” and “share”
• If you capture information, use that information wisely!
• Never EVER Spam!
• If using an email campaign, use a professional email signature
• Respond promptly to all questions
Create Valuable Content
• Be interesting, be real, be humble
• Commenting to drive traffic
• Use photos
• Use Videos
• Use Maps
• Use online coupons
Think of social networking as leaving breadcrumbs
all over the internet.
Be careful what you say because it will NEVER go away.
Don’t combine professional and personal social networking.
Use Search Engines to Your Advantage
• Search for yourself using different search engines such as
Google regularly. It’s like looking into the “Mirror of the Internet”
• If you discover incorrect information, attempt to make contact to
correct the inaccurate information.
• When someone mentions you, whether positive or negative,
respond.
• 1.3 Billion on Facebook at the beginning of 2014
• 5,385,320 Georgia Residents are on Facebook as of March 2011
• 50% of FB users check their account at least once a day
• Average Facebook user spends 1 hour on Facebook each day
• The average user has 130 friends
Facebook Profiles vs. Pages
• Profiles are personal, Pages are for business
• It is a violation of Facebook’s terms of service to
use your personal profile page for business and/or
advertising.
• Pages are indexed by Google
Facebook Advertising
• Pay Per Click (CPC) vs. Pay Per Impression (CPM)
• Set up in 10 minutes
• Cancel or change at anytime
• Instant analytics
• Try multiple of different campaigns
• You can target by demographics, location, workplace, etc.
• Allows you to budget your advertising campaign
Making Facebook Work for You
• Give fans a reason to be there. Post teasers, initiate discussions, post photos, keep your discounts or special up to date. Find ways to attract consumers to “like” you.
• Build your network. Chances are, most of the people in your email address book are on Facebook; send them an email about your new Facebook Page.
• Promote your page. If you blog, make videos, have a website, or have any other public presence, provide a link to your Facebook page.
• Engage. If you are simply posting to your page but not engaging, having conversations, responding to others’ posts, and being part of a community, you are doing it wrong. Most importantly NEVER BE NEGATIVE!
• Make Time Count. Set aside a few minutes a day to work on your Facebook page.
