Social Media
• Mass Media
– reach a large audience by mass
communication (one to many)
• Social Media
– interactions amongst people sharing,
exchanging and discussing information (many
to many)
– blending of technology and social interaction
for the co-creation of value

Social Media by Default
• By default
– In our community where social media has
become pervasive, every entity, organization,
government, business, product, service and
individual is the potential focus of social
media at any time
– Potentially in either a positive or negative way!
• Be proactive and build your own positive
social media image
• Actively add value to your community

Participate in Social Media?
• Communication about brands, products,
services and entities simply happens, and
organizations cannot do anything about
that
• Organizations need to decide if they wish
to participate seriously in this
communication or continue to ignore it
• Not being present on social media is
conspicuous

Social Media Benefits
• Generate and control positive exposure of
the business
• Create customer loyalty
• Free publicity for the organization
• Penetrate new markets
• Differentiate from your competitors
• Develop reputation of adding value to
community

Social Media
Critical Success Factors
• Build your community and be visible
• Easy for people to be participants
• Health and wellness is a ‘cause’ important to the
community
• Provide interesting, relevant and honest content
• Be human – people like people more than
corporate logos and faceless business units
• Give people a reason to follow you

Social Media Marketing
• Due to social media, marketing has changed
• Organizations are losing direct control of marketing and
the customers are gaining more and more control
• Marketing in the social media world is to engage, and
keep engaging, the customers by providing interesting
content, and creating environments and information that
people want
• Establish your influence, reputation and brand within
communities of potential customers
• Use social media as a communication tool that makes
your organization accessible to anybody interested in
what you offer
• Create electronic word-of-mouth
