Online Social Media
Marketing on Facebook, Twitter, etc does work!
What
is the difference between Google, Yahoo & Bing
Search Engines Marketing (SEM) vs.
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Ning and host of other
Social Media Marketing (SMM)
platforms? The most important differentiation is that
search results from Google, Yahoo and Bing Search are for
immediate information request from consumers, while Facebook,
LinkedIn, Twitter, Ning are social media platform for human
interaction between like minded people.
This is a significant differentiation which
needs to be understood, because both have value and over
time usage may become blur. Currently, in order to get
the best and immediate ROI from online marketing services --
there is no substitute for Google, Yahoo & Bing search
results. The effects on business leads & sales can be
seen within days, weeks and months because of online ads and
supporting it with organic search results.
While social media marketing requires the
development of a personalized network of "friends" which
then can be leveraged to expand on referral business
transactions
through social connection.
What is amazing to most research firms is
the rapid adoption of facebook by Internet users world wide
as a new communication platform. This platform though
simplistic on the surface and while its used by millions its
still not widely understood by marketing firms, PR firms and
even branding firms. Sure, facebook allows anyone to
advertise on the platform but its no where close to the
level of sophistication as Google AdWords platform.
Social medial marketing, requires
premeditated planning, understanding client's business of
selling products or services and to what demographic of
customers. Then building a strategic plan and road map
of what type of information when shared will deliver both
the message and at the same time bring in the level of
interest from facebook users to be attracted to "fan page"
or "account".
