Social Media Branding

Social Media: The New Search

Search marketing and SEO are still very important to your marketing mix. You still need to maintain top listings in Google, Yahoo, and Bing (MSN). But the web is no longer just search… there are over 200 social media sites with hundreds of thousands of active users. Facebook alone has over 100 million people that log on daily. There are over 8,000,000 daily tweets on Twitter.

What are you doing to reach these people? What is your competition doing? EnvisionSBM can create a social media strategy to jump start your social branding campaign and get you miles ahead of your competition.

Increased Spending for Social Media

An April 2009 eMarketer.com study estimates that ad spending on social networks for 2009 will be $2.35 billion dollars. People spend about 19% of their time online contributing to social networks: it makes sense that businesses would want to capture some of that attention. Paid advertising is an easy way to do that. However, spending money to advertise on these channels is like putting a billboard on a highway when you can be in the car participating in the conversation.

Create Your Social Brand

You have a business that already has a loyal customer base. Let us help you put them to work for you. By becoming part of their online conversations, you can capitalize on their good experiences with you and get them discussing your products online where everyone can see how great you are.

And, you will be seen by the people who are most likely to buy – people who have purchased from you before or their circle of influence where a recommendation has much more weight than just an ad.

Once you start building your online social brand within your community, it’s no longer traditional advertising where you’re doing the selling. If you do it right, your customers will be selling you to their friends. And that is a significantly stronger sell than anything you would be able to pay for.
