Why Get Social Anyway?
The whole idea is to help you be successful within this new frontier because it’s here to stay. Smart marketers always put their messages where their market is. If your target customer is on Facebook then you need to be on Facebook. If they use Twitter then you should have an “outpost” on twitter as well. Go wherever your market is, reach, connect, and engage with them there as well.
What’s the Power of Social Media?
I believe the power of social media lies in it’s transparency. I can see you and you can see me. It’s like the George Foreman grill of marketing. Social media can potentially cook more meals (sales) because it cuts the fat (distrust). However, just like with anything, it only tastes good (successful) if you cook it right.
