Social Media Marketing - being seen, being helpful

Social Media Marketingturning strangers into friends, friends into customers, customers into salespeopleCentre For Collaboration & Partnership, University Of Brighton December 20-21, 2011

Great marketingserves your customers★ Modern customers are too savvy, spin-averse and busy to bother with any company that seems inauthentic, manipulative or uncaring★ Great marketing will help you talk, clearly and directly to people who will naturally become customers, friends and ambassadors

And great customer service is great marketing* So I hope you can see now how Social Media, the many to many, really is a new thing, not just today’s hype but a truly emergent kind of marketing madepossible only by the internet and mass, persistent, conversations that go beyond the pervious market limitations (time and space).* And it’s human voices that are emerging. Marketing speak is ignored (at best) but ofter replaced with the truth from consumers directly affected by a product(for better or worse). A bad review of the service at a B&B on Trip Advisor can kill an entire summer for unscrupulous owners that used to rely on great locationalone. Customers want to be repeat customers, they want to have a great experience/product, and they want to form relationships for future transactions... it’sbecome harder to take the money and run.
