Social Networking Websites are Where You Can Connect with Your Market
Social Networking Websites attract people who are actively participating in many popular Social communities. Those people are using Social Networks to chat with friends, broadcast their favorite Web pages, display their business credentials, and much more. Not only are there a large number of users on Social Networking communities, there are a broad range of interests that the different Websites target, from the general Social Websites to much more unique niches.
Popular Social Networking Websites include Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+. There are many Social Networking Websites ranging from mass market Websites such as Facebook to niche Websites such as eFamily that connects families. Now some businesses may be looking at this list thinking, "My company's audience isn't on Facebook." True. Not every Social Networking site will be relevant to your audience. However you might be surprised to find how many competitors of yours are effectively using Facebook for marketing and to build customer loyalty. Ignoring Social Networking Websites altogether will open the door for your competition to out-market you online.
Why You Can't Ignore Social Networking:
A 2010 Social Media study conducted by McCann Universal, "Wave 5 – The Socialisation of Brands," offered compelling evidence to illustrate the importance of Social Media Marketing. The study estimates that there are 1.5 billion visits to Social Networks each day, and that nearlythree-quarters of active Internet users have a profile on a Social Network.According to the report, nearly 50% of all active Internet users have joined a branded community. The research also shows that those users who join branded communities actually have more positivefeelings and feel more loyal toward the brands they follow. 71% are more likely to buy the brand and 63% said they would recommend the brand to others. While many users follow brands to access free content, the large majority join branded communities in order to learn more about them and get advance news of products.
These statistics should be enough to get any forward-thinking company to interact with its audience on Social Media. If your philosophy is to give customers what they want, then you need a strong presence on Social Networking Websites. At E-Power, we've long recognized the importance of Social Networking Websites for the benefit of companies, and we have the skills and experience with them to effectively use them for our clients' benefit.
How Can My Company Utilize Social Networking Websites?
Your market will determine which Social Networking channels your company should take advantage of. Facebook is not for every business. However there are many Social Networking Websites where your audience does participate. You need to give a fresh perspective to which Websites to target. For example, you may be surprised how effective YouTube is for marketing business-to-business.
Gain the trust of the users by providing valuable informative content, news, updates and your expert opinions. Limit your marketing on these Social communities. If you push sales onto the users, your success, credibility and image will suffer. Provide users with information they are looking for and establishing yourself as the expert in your industry.
