Facts On Social Networking Use




Should your company utilize Social Networking as a means to promote sales, increase visibility and attract new business?  Here are a few facts to consider if you are serious about the future of your company.

Samsung's recent 3 week Facebook campaign to promote the Galaxy S3 Smartphone reached over 105 million unique users , and generated $129 million in sales.  When asked if Facebook ads work? Of course they do, replies Facebook's global marketing chief Carolyn Everson. Samsung now has more than 20 million fans to market its messages.
PepsiCo  global head of their digital division Shiv Singh, maintains, that based on reach and frequency, Facebook competes effectively with TV and that mobile will eventually overtake TV as the dominant ad platform.

The potential that online marketing has to brand companies and engage a targeted audience is growing exponentially. Social platforms such as Twitter, Google+ and Facebook have been adapting to this new wave of marketing by rolling out new features that make it easier for marketers. So which one of these marketing platforms should you use for your social networking?


 Google+
Google+ has expanded to allow companies to create pages and use them as you would for any social media page. The "Circles" feature allows you to put your clients and followers into different categories and share relevant information.  You could even create an interactive blog.  Additionally, Google+ has added a Google+ search feature which allows you to "search keywords, names or anything else, and use your search results to better understand what people are saying about your products. You can then reward followers with rebate coupons, or other customer discounts offered by your company. 


Twitter
Twitter has also jumped on the bandwagon and has implemented changes. Users will be able to Tweet from anywhere within Twitter, not just their home page. The #discover feature is also really helpful for marketers who want to engage a targeted audience. Tweets will now have the ability to become more targeted based on people's interests, as opposed to Tweeting to the general Twitter population.



Facebook
Facebook has long been the frontrunner in providing features that allow companies to take advantage of social media marketing. With the timeline feature you can go back in time and see some of your older posts. It's more visual than the old profile and you can see a timeline of everything that you've posted since you joined Facebook. In addition the new Facebook Places allows you to check-in or add the specific location of  your business.  All aspiring  businesses should have a presence on Facebook and take advantage of the many opportunities if offers, like apps, contests and many other business features. These capabilities keeps Facebook as the leader of Social Networking platforms.
