By Amanda Watts www.clientsinabundance.com

Really? I hear you cry, Amanda Kennedy saying you shouldn’t be on social media? Is this girl feeling ok?

Well of course there is more to this sentence than meets the eye but, yes, there may be a reason why social media should not be at the top of your to-do list for your marketing objectives. There are more ways to market your business. However much I believe blogging and social media marketing are the key to a great online presence and showing your potential customers that they need to buy from you as you are a thought leader, , it may be that your customers are just not online.

There are three reasons why you should be on social media:

• Your customers are on it • Your competitors are on it • Your industry is on it

If your business ticks any one of these boxes then you need to use it, but there are so many other options available to you too, it is NOT all about social!

It may be that having a social media presence is needed to ensure you don’t disappoint your potential customers if they try to look you up on Facebook and Twitter. However there are plenty of other options available to ensure that you have your marketing strategy completely covered. As the saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

So what are the marketing options available?

1. Social Marketing 2. Blogging 3. Radio 4. Advertising 5. PR 6. Leaflets 7. Email Marketing

 

8. Cold calling 9. Face to Face networking 10. Endorsements 11. Joining your local Chamber 12. Set up a website 13. Run competitions 14. Exhibition Marketing 15. Write for an Industry Related Magazine 16. Have joint ventures with people 17. Start utilizing video marketing 18. Use your business card (have your picture on it) 19. Enter Awards 20.

So, as well as embracing social media marketing platforms, you need to ensure that you are completing all parts of the marketing pie. How many points on this list do you actually have covered for your marketing? And which marketing activities have I left out?
