What is the Current Social Media Landscape?

Page 4: Social Media for Business, October 2013: Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube

“Social Media”Social media = people.

Being where people are, when they are, how they prefer, with the information they want. On a phone...a computer...a tablet...at work, at home, anywhere.

Humans tend to universally like certain things: to be entertained, to learn, to save time, to save money, to be ahead of the curve, to feel inspired, to help others, to share, to grow.

How does your strategy fit into the humanness of marketing?

Visibility at All Times • We “Share This”

• We talk about what we like (or don’t like)

Social Media Landscape Right Now

• Social media is the new “Word of Mouth”• Things are discovered, reviewed, shared and

recommended in real time• Credibility is developed by being visible as an

expert• Familiarity and trust are created through

ongoing interaction, in many places, many ways• Customer service is greatly enhanced by the ability

to immediately interact and connect• Brands are expected to be on social media, and to

present unique, exclusive content

People You and Your Company

• What do they see?

• Is your expertise showing? Social Media helps make sure it is.

Social Media Increases “Serendipity”

“If you want more luck, take more

chances. Be more active. Show up more

often.” ~ Brian Tracy (good summary of Social

Media)

Page 11: Social Media for Business, October 2013: Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube

Conversational and Other-Focused

• Remember the “social” piece – the more interactive, the more results

• Try to keep the conversation 80-90% about THEM and only 10-20% about your company

• Sharing content that is helpful and useful to people who might buy your product will drive connections
