Facebook – The Largest Social Media Marketing Tool

Given that there are now over 800 million Facebook users, the social media giant is a natural choice for many businesses. The power of Facebook Pages, Ads and Analytics allow for great flexibility in how you market your business online.

YouTube – Not Just for Kids

Well-optimized videos are an important part of your social media marketing strategy. Videos should be short and engaging, as the attention spans of today are not what they once were.

LinkedIn – Social Media Marketing to Professionals

If your target-market are professionals or individuals with higher education, LinkedIn can be a great choice for your online marketing strategy. LinkedIn is all business, so keep it professional. This is not the place for photos of your pets or kids.

Twitter – A Real-Time News Feed

This fast-paced news feed is a great way to engage your visitors and get the word out about your business. Not at all tolerant of blatant advertising, the “Twitosphere” expects more from businesses. Use this tool wisely and creatively to gain loyal followers. If negative publicity is going to spread about a business, you can bet it will be found on Twitter.

Social Media Monitoring

Every business today needs to know what people are saying about them. Whether or not you choose to engage in social media marketing, you must still monitor the social channels so that you can address any negative publicity that should arrive. Responses must be immediate in order to effectively manage your online reputation and avoid disaster.
