Social Marketing
Twitter, Facebook, Technorati… social marketing is powerful. The ability for you to find consumers in your area and talk directly to them is a tool that any business owner, small or large, just can’t ignore.
Social media is a way for potential customers to find out who you are, what you provide, and how you can help them within a more laid-back environment. Before this kind of marketing came about businesses had to rely on their current customers talking to other people in order to get these kind of advertising results.
Twitter, for instance, has had several applications developed for it, such as Twello and Nearby Tweets that allow you to both find people in your area, as well as track what people are talking about in your area. You can search based on specific keywords and even track what is being said about your business.
There are also applications that allow you to create coupons to distribute on Twitter, twtQpon, as well as those to allow you to track the analytics of your tweets, Twittertise.
All of these tools can help increase your tweeting productivity and grow your customer base, increasing your sales.
