Social Networking Campaigns
Too often internet marketers jump on the “buzz word” bandwagon and throw out names like “Facebook” and “Twitter” knowing their prolific presence in the media inherently lends them importance and credibility. The truth is, social media campaigns are often mislabeled and even more often mismanaged. Creating a few profiles on some of the more popular social websites and then checking in every couple of weeks is not the way to build a strong online social media campaign. It’s the way to waste both time and money.
Here’s the straight shot – building and maintaining effective social media campaigns probably requires more client commitment and attention than any other internet marketing technique. Utilizing social networking correctly, with the intention of increasing your brand awareness, your website’s internet presence, and the quality of your actual services, requires that you take the time and the effort to be social.
You need to create more than a profile; you need to create an active presence. For that reason, we don’t recommend this service for all of our clients. It has undoubtedly proven to be an effective addition to any comprehensive marketing strategy, but as stated above, it also requires a firm and long term commitment. If you have questions about what that would mean specifically to you or a member of your staff, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to go into more detail.
