• Be Creative
• Always, develop a budget
“Marketers must deliver relevant messages to receptive audiences wherever they assemble; Social media doesn’t change this.”

IS SOCIAL MEDIA JUST A FAD?
Unique Visitors counts how many unique individual people visited this site per month. Visitors are counted once, no matter how many times they visit a site in a month. Counts represent traffic from the United States only. (Compete.com)
• I would not call Social Media a fad, as it is constantly evolving.
• Current approaches or uses may be fads.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING STRATEGY BASICS
Define Your audience. Your audience is your current clients, prospects, and power partners.
Define your business model. Your business model will also define what social media sites you should be on.
Pick out your key words and phrases that define what you do. You'll want to then compare them to the key words and phrases your clients use to describe your business and what you do for them.
Define your goals for using social media, but keep them realistic.
Assess how much time and effort you will need to spend learning how to use social media sites, as well as what social media sites you need to be on.
Define measurement tools. Know how you will determine what is and is not successful.
NEVER FORGET…Listen to conversations and react – address customer service issues
Write once, post twice – do not be afraid to reuse your messages
Join the conversation – become a trusted source by answering questions and providing thoughtful comments in groups and blogs
Listen more than you talk – your customers thoughts and concerns are the most important
Be authentic – talk like a human, not like a marketer
Think before you start – make sure you have time to show up, interact, and generate questions, comments and advice regularly

It is up to you as the marketer to determine the appropriate marketing channels and to constantly measure their effectiveness
