Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is the process of gaining

website traffic or attention through social media sites.

Social media marketing programs usually center

on efforts to create content that attracts attention and

encourages readers to share it across their social

networks.

The resulting electronic word of mouth (eWoM)

refers to any statement consumers share via the

Internet (e.g., web sites, social networks, instant

messages, news feeds) about an event, product,

service, brand or company Source: Wikipedia

Facebook

Facebook is one of the most powerful

social platforms at 1.3 billion users. It's

size alone is ‘a positive’ for any business,

Twitter

Twitter is an ongoing conversation that, like text

messaging, has become widely popular. Unlike

Facebook and other social media platforms, where

people can choose what to look at on your site, or

respond later, Twitter is more "in the moment.".

• Tool for businesses that want to reach out to people now,

and expect--and are ready for--people to reply now.

• Handles immediate breaking news, updates, questions

for followers, recall announcements, etc.

• It's for the business that has things to say frequently and

prefers to reach people directly.

LinkedIn The consummate networking site.

and that clearly defines LinkedIn.

example of how a brand can set the stage for the launch of a
