Marketing has become a conversation being driven by customers!
With hundreds of millions of people using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and Google+, it would behoove small and medium businesses along with large global companies to start looking at changing their marketing and sales approach. Present marketing programs must not only support a strong, positive brand image and drive demand, but must engage with all customers to be effective. Marketing has become a conversation that is being driven by the customer. The question is whether your business is engaging in conversation or is it talking to itself?
You may have already taken the steps to start implementing and creating a number of accounts on multiple platforms and you might be wondering why. You just know your business needs to have a social media presence, but you wonder what is this going to do for your business. The problem is that most businesses never take the initiative and created nor implement a social media plan. We hear this constantly from our customers and from audience members attending our social media seminars. We created a one day social media strategy seminars to funnel this process for our customers. Our goal is to ensure all attendees will understand and implement a well-developed and organized social media plan for their business.
