We've all heard of Social Media... and unless you've been living under a rock for the last 3 or 4 years, you'll most likely have heard of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.
How about GooglePlus+, Pinterest, Foursquare, Flikr and StumbleUpon? And what about some hybrid sites that certainly have social elements such as Yelp and Slideshare. Heard of those? There are probably another fifty we could mention that you haven't heard of.
You get the point though. Social is BIG. Social is everywhere.
But, does your business need a social media component to your overall marketing strategy? YES!
Social Media Marketing is a group of processes used by businesses to communicate their brand, sales message, content and/or expertise to a growing audience by acquiring traffic and increased visibility through social media websites. That audience can be comprised of current clients, past clients, associates, colleagues, interested readers, other influencers in your market sector, and of course potential future prospects and customers.
Are you going to sit back and let opportunities slip by or be taken by competitors?
The social web is now a boundless goldmine of potential sales opportunities that your business can tap into. ISOOSI can help your business or organization tap into these opportunities in an intelligent way so that all activity is monitored and analyzed. You can be both aggressive in tactics and yet resourceful in terms of the time and budget spent on it.
Unlike some agencies we will tell you how it is. Social Media Marketing is a very effective weapon to grow your business. However, there are many companies who waste valuable time and resources with their social marketing programs. They do not put the necessary tools in place to measure the effectiveness of the strategy. They use social networking websites that might not be the natural congregation areas for potential prospects. They do not have an underlying plan for communicating in this medium (WHAT to post, WHERE to post, WHEN to post (frequency, time, day etc), WHO they are posting to and WHY they are posting it).
You may think social media marketing is not a good fit for your business or you may think it is just too time consuming. Social media can and should play a part in your overall marketing strategy. The rewards can be huge. However, it is not a quick fix PAY and RECEIVE type of plan that you may have encountered with past advertising campaigns.
