Social Media Marketing
To Tweet or Not to Tweet
 Social media marketing includes the use of social networking sites and on-site activity including blogging, wikis, user-generated content, ratings and reviews. Social media marketing not only aids in establishing customer relationships, but has become imperative in retaining those relationships. With the use of social networking and on-site activity, you can not only keep customers notified on special events, breaking business announcements, and new products, but you can also acquire valuable customer feedback.
The largest mistake we see most of our customers commit is that they jump headfirst onto a social networking platform such as Facebook, Twitter, Google +, MySpace, LinkedIn, or take part in social media services like YouTube, Blip.tv, Reddit, Flickr, StumbleUpon, and Digg with little more reason than that their competitors are doing it and they wish to remain competitive and relevant to their customers. While marketing yourself or your business using social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter is trendy and does have the possibility to have a positive influence on your business, the questions you should ask yourself before devoting the time and resources into social media marketing are: "What is my end goal?" and "How will social media help me achieve that end goal?"
