18. Social media marketing is…
Using social media channels to market a
brand (retail, auto, b2b, even a newspaper).
Multichannel.
SEO-enhancing.
Hybrid of sales and
service.
Measurable.
Just another (BIG) channel where the rules still
apply – The message matters.
TEXT
19. Social media marketing is NOT…
Free.
One-size fits all.
SEO.
Conversion mechanism
(often).
Just Facebook, Twitter and
whatever new launches
this week.
About “likes” and “follows” – or even
“engagement.”
Measurable*
*Yes, I realize the contradiction

Longer sales cycle than expected
Higher AVO than expected
Every deal is custom
Content really is king– about 1/3 of business
is more content than social
Work is frontloaded
Most successful with all three pillars
Subjectivity is a tough pill
Need ramp-up time
Best promos are multi-channel
Must supplement with paid (or owned) media
Not every client is a fit
