Social Media Marketing is often referred to as consumer generated media (CGM). A
common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the
joint creation of value.

• #2 Reason – It strengthens your relationships
• #3 Reason – Establish yourself as an expert
• #4 Reason – Improve communications
• #5 Reason – Branding, Visibility, leverage your existing marketing….
• and… It’s mostly free
Why do social media marketing?
• Inform customers/market
• It’s becoming what your customers expect
• Compliments traditional marketing…
• Interaction customs are different. Exchange of information rather than goods/services
• And… your customers want to be heard, be part of a conversation. Positive Yelp reviews for instance.
• Better search engine results
• … it’s an extension of your regular networking
Why do social media marketing?
• 25% of all legitimate email never arrives
• Multiple layers of spam filters.
• ISP mishaps
• Hardware failure

Strategy - a plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal that
helps an organization concentrate its limited resources on the greatest
opportunities.
Developing Strategy• What do your want to achieve?
• A. Become more responsive to people/consumer audiences

• What is your timetable?
• Find an Internal Evangelist
• Consider Your Employees
• Listen First (Research) (Listorious)
• First line of defense. Creating a secure password
• Take something familiar your city or county. • For example – San Mateo, California 94401 and switch
it around. • Use capital letters and symbols.• Result: 944San?MateoCA01

Small businesses by definition have smaller budgets and must watch their dollars more closely, explained
Mike Svatek, Chief Product Officer of social commerce consultancy bazaarvoice.com. “If you can see ROI, it’s
much easier to keep pouring money into it.” Svatek said MotoSport, one of their clients, saw a 21%
increase in conversion when their mailings included user-generated content and product reviews.
