INTRODUCTIONSOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

This introduction will give you an overview of benefits of Social Media Marketing, a brief about various Social Media platforms, networks or arena's we can leverage, how to define campaign objectives, our methodology of carrying out a Social Media Marketing campaign and indication of campaign costs. The service is designed to help companies create a brand, market their products and services and manage their online reputation through social networks.

Social network marketing is a growing trend and a powerful medium, which can be effectively used as an online marketing tool. An effective social media marketing campaign requires well thought out objectives, careful planning, social media expertise, advanced writing, research skills, efficient campaign implementation and campaign success tracking procedures. We have all the necessary expertise & skills to ensure a successful social media campaign implementation for your business/organisation.

Your customers and potential customers are passionate about mutual subjects. A campaign will not just be about promoting your services or products; it will also be about accentuating the passion you share with these customers and future customers on the social networks.






Social Media is the online tool that people use to share content, profiles, opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives, knowledge and media itself, thus facilitating conversations and online interaction between groups of people with keen interest on relevant subjects. The content of social media sites is primarily user-generated.

Social media is evolving as a very powerful opportunity for reaching out to a huge number of potential business partners, buyers and prospects and influencing them to form a favourable opinion about a brand, product, service, business or a company. Over 500 Million users actively participated in social media networks. As per Alexa.com (a respected internet monitoring organisation), almost 40% of the world’s top-100 highest traffic websites are social media sites.

Social media marketing involves representation of business through participation in social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, multi-media content sharing sites, industry forums, blogs and online press-release sites to generate a positive momentum of awareness, discussions, opinions and direct traffic to the client’s website.

THE CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES






THE CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIESThe Social Media Marketing campaign for your business/organisation should involve active participation in a variety of blogs, forums, social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, clubs, associations and other industry related sites and organisations. At the time of campaign initiation, we will identify the most popular industry sites and define activities involved in the campaign that would produce the desired results. Working with you we will;

• determine the overall direction of the campaign.

• develop a company story; identify the primary messages, themes and topics of discussion. • identify all participants; develop profiles & biographies and the responsibilities of each participant.

• set goals and objectives, and time lines for each.

• set KPIs and monitor results

• provide training and support if required

This plan will identify and explain what we/you should be doing, how to do it, when to do it and what to expect from month-to-month. The efforts and results of this campaign will be monitored and measured by Emotio. You will receive monthly reports and a detailed analysis every quarter. You will always know where we are and what needs to be done to accomplish all the campaign goals and objectives.






THE CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIESA social network service focuses on building online communities of people, professionals and business owners who share common interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. The professional profile created to represent the company is a valuable source of information for the community. A well thought-out profile has the ability to influence readers and promote your brand. It also has the ability to act as a hub of information about different items such as reputation, testimonials, and reviews of your professional life or of your company.

We will set up accounts for the company and company representatives. We will complete the profiles and either “work” these accounts by building contacts, links and relationships or provide your team with guidance, training and support so they can successfully manage your campaign.

We will set up groups and join groups to get as many people involved as possible. Some examples of these sites are Face Book, Twitter and Youtube.

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING






SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

Social Bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organise, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet. Users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. People can view these bookmarks by tags, category or via search engines. Social Bookmarking is a powerful technique to attract direct visitors to your website through marketing your website in popular social networking websites like Digg, Delicious, Stumble Upon etc.

We shall create several profiles on Social Bookmarking Sites to bookmark and promote your website. These pseudo profiles can be used to vote/like the bookmarks created. Good content can spread virally on these communities. If you are lucky to find your website on the first page of any search engine, you may expect a large traffic flow to your website. Besides the referral traffic, the links provided by social media website are also quite valuable in the eyes of the search engines. This links will help improve the search engine rankings of the website as well.
