The increasing role of social media has been recognized as an increasingly effective marketing tool for a broad section of enterprises. This paper highlights the first stage of the engagement strategy using social media for an academic laboratory, and provides an insight for others wishing to take advantage of the various social networking tools that are available. The lab engages with different constituencies such as students, faculty, and alumni, industrial and governmental agencies. As these constituents online presence is fragmented over a number of different social websites (Twitter™, LinkedIn™ for example), there is no longer an effective single point of contact to engage them. With that in mind, researchers in the lab created accounts on, and started using Twitter™, LinkedIn™ and SlideShare™. Data about site referrals to the BSPA Laboratory’s homepage was gathered using Google Analytics™, in order to analyze the effects (if any) that social networks might have in promotional activities and increased interaction with the BSPA Laboratory home page (http://www.bspalabs.org/). Although this paper is a preliminary report on a short term progress, the data shows the differences in unique visitors before and after becoming active in social networks and will show data linking specific social network with an effect.
Using social media strategy in building the corporate brand image is a route a lot of people imagine they know - what with the number of influencers, opinion leaders, trend watchers, and spotters laying claims to so-called virile strategy which generate likes, impressions and conversations. However, that is not all there is to capturing corporate essence in an era of great cynicism. Using Social Media as a route to build corporate stature requires the need to develop and manage strategic partnerships, the monitoring of trends and applications of knowledge from trends in building conversations while measuring the impact of efforts in order to intensify or discontinue a course of action. Beyond this, this presentation attempts a historical perspective of the social media phenomenon as well as platform possibilities looking at the Nigerian context.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Impact of Educational Background and Professional Training on Human Right...ijtsrd
This study investigated the impact of educational background and professional training on human rights awareness among secondary school teachers in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The key findings reveal that higher levels of education, particularly a master’s degree, and fields of study related to education, humanities, or social sciences are associated with greater human rights awareness among teachers. Additionally, both pre service teacher training and in service professional development programs focused on human rights education significantly enhance teacher’s knowledge, skills, and competencies in promoting human rights principles in their classrooms.

A Study on the Effective Teaching Learning Process in English Curriculum at t...ijtsrd
“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Microsoft Teams, and more. Wikis are examples of
collaborative content creation.
Many social media outlets differ from traditional
media (e.g., print magazines and newspapers, TV, and
radio broadcasting) in many ways, including quality,
reach, frequency, usability, relevancy, and
permanence. Additionally, social media outlets
operate in a dialogic transmission system, i.e., many
sources to many receivers, while traditional media
outlets operate under a monologic transmission model
(i.e., one source to many receivers). For instance, a
newspaper is delivered to many subscribers and a
radio station broadcasts the same programs to an
entire city.
Since the dramatic expansion of the Internet, digital
media or digital rhetoric can be used to represent or
identify a culture. Studying how the rhetoric that
exists in the digital environment has become a crucial
new process for many scholars.
Social media use by businesses includes a range of
applications. Although social media accessed via
desktop computers offer a variety of opportunities for
companies in a wide range of business sectors, mobile
social media, which users can access when they are
"on the go" via tablet computers or smartphones,
benefit companies because of the location- and time-
sensitive awareness of their users. Mobile social
media tools can be used for marketing research,
communication, sales promotions/discounts, informal
employee learning/organizational development,
relationship development/loyalty programs, and e-
commerce.
Marketing research: Mobile social media
applications provide companies data about offline
consumer movements at a level of detail that was
previously accessible to online companies only.
These applications allow any business to know
the exact time a customer who uses social media
entered one of its locations, as well as know the
social media comments made during the visit.[1]
Communication: Mobile social media
communication takes two forms: company-to-
consumer (in which a company may establish a
connection to a consumer based on its location
and provide reviews about locations nearby) and
user-generated content. For example, McDonald's
offered $5 and $10 gift-cards to 100 users
randomly selected among those checking in at
one of its restaurants. This promotion increased
check-ins by 33% (from 2,146 to 2,865), resulted
in over 50 articles and blog posts, and prompted
several hundred thousand news feeds and Twitter
messages.[1]
Sales promotions and discounts: Although
customers have had to use printed coupons in the
past, mobile social media allows companies to
tailor promotions to specific users at specific
times. For example, when launching its
California-Cancun service, Virgin America
offered users who checked in through Loopt at
one of three designated taco trucks in San
Francisco or Los Angeles between 11 a.m. and 3
p.m. on 31 August 2010, two tacos for $1 and two
flights to Cancun or Cabo for the price of one.
This special promotion was only available to
people who were at a certain location at a certain
time.
Relationship development and loyalty
programs: In order to increase long-term
relationships with customers, companies can
develop loyalty programs that allow customers
who check-in via social media regularly at a
location to earn discounts or perks. For example,
American Eagle Outfitters remunerates such
customers with a tiered 10%, 15%, or 20%
discount on their total purchase.
Informal employee learning/organizational
development is facilitated by the social media
Technologies such as blogs, wiki pages, web
forums, social networks and other social media
act as Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL)
tools, and their users perceive change in
organizational structure, culture and knowledge
management.[3]
The prerequisite for the successful
use of social media are motivated employees who
want to use the new technologies. It is central for
companies to understand the factors that
determine the willingness to use social media.[4]
Customer service and support Company can
gain cost savings and increase revenue and
customer satisfaction by using social media
platforms in customer service and support. By
using social media tools, company have easy and
widescale contact to its customers and
simultaneously increase their brand knowledge.[5]
e-Commerce: Social media sites are increasingly
implementing marketing-friendly strategies,
creating platforms that are mutually beneficial for
users, businesses, and the networks themselves in
the popularity and accessibilityof e-commerce, or
online purchases. The user who posts her or his
comments about a company's product or service
benefits because they are able to share their views
with their online friends and acquaintances. The
company benefits because it obtains insight
(positive or negative) about how their product or
service is viewed by consumers. Mobile social

media applications such as Amazon.com and
Pinterest have started to influence an upward
trend in the popularity and accessibility of e-
commerce.
E-commerce businesses may refer to social media as
consumer-generated media (CGM). A common thread
running through all definitions of social media is a
blending of technology and social interaction for the
co-creation of value for the business or organization
that is using it. People obtain valuable information,
education, news, and other data from electronic and
print media. Social media are distinct from industrial
and traditional media such as newspapers, magazines,
television, and film as they are comparatively
inexpensive marketing tools and are highly
accessible.
One characteristic shared by both social and industrial
media is the capability to reach small or large
audiences; for example, either a blog post or a
television show may reach no people or millions of
people.[7]
Some of the properties that help describe
the differences between social and industrial media
are:
1. Quality: In industrial (traditional) publishing—
mediated by a publisher—the typical range of
quality is substantially narrower (skewing to the
high quality side) than in niche, unmediated
markets like user-generated social media posts.
The main challenge posed by the content in social
media sites is the fact that the distribution of
quality has high variance: from very high-quality
items to low-quality, sometimes even abusive or
inappropriate content.[8]
2. Reach: Both industrial and social media
technologies provide scale and are capable of
reaching a global audience. Industrial media,
however, typically use a centralized framework
for organization, production, and dissemination,
whereas social media are by their very nature
more decentralized, less hierarchical, and
distinguished by multiple points of production
and utility.
3. Frequency: The number of times users access a
type of media per day. Heavy social media users,
such as young people, check their social media
account numerous times throughout the day.
4. Accessibility: The means of production for
industrial media are typically government or
corporate (privately owned); social media tools
are generally available to the public at little or no
cost, or they are supported by advertising
revenue. While social media tools are available to
anyone with access to Internet and a computer or
mobile device, due to the digital divide, the
poorest segment of the population lacks access to
the Internet and computer. Low-income people
may have more access to traditional media (TV,
radio, etc.), as an inexpensive TV and aerial or
radio costs much less than an inexpensive
computer or mobile device. Moreover, in many
regions, TV or radio owners can tune into free
over the air programming; computer or mobile
device owners need Internet access to go to social
media sites.
5. Usability: Industrial media production typically
requires specialized skills and training. For
example, in the 1970s, to record a pop song, an
aspiring singer would have to rent time in an
expensive professional recording studio and hire
an audio engineer. Conversely, most social media
activities, such as posting a video of oneself
singing a song require only modest
reinterpretation of existing skills (assuming a
person understands Web 2.0 technologies); in
theory, anyone with access to the Internet can
operate the means of social media production, and
post digital pictures, videos or text online.
6. Immediacy: The time lag between
communications produced by industrial media
can be long (days, weeks, or even months, by the
time the content has been reviewed by various
editors and fact checkers) compared to social
media (which can be capable of virtually
instantaneous responses). The immediacy of
social media can be seen as a strength, in that it
enables regular people to instantly communicate
their opinions and information. At the same time,
the immediacy of social media can also be seen as
a weakness, as the lack of fact checking and
editorial "gatekeepers" facilitates the circulation
of hoaxes and fake news.
7. Permanence: Industrial media, once created,
cannot be altered (e.g., once a magazine article or
paper book is printed and distributed, changes
cannot be made to that same article in that print
run) whereas social media posts can be altered
almost instantaneously, when the user decides to
edit their post or due to comments from other
readers.
Community media constitute a hybrid of industrial
and social media. Though community-owned, some
community radio, TV, and newspapers are run by
professionals and some by amateurs. They use both
social and industrial media frameworks. Social media
has also been recognized for the way they have
changed how public relations professionals conduct
their jobs.[9]
They have provided an open arena where

people are free to exchange ideas on companies,
brands, and products. Doc Searls and David Wagner
state that the "...best of the people in PR are not PR
types at all. They understand that there aren't censors,
they're the company's best conversationalists." Social
media provides an environment where users and PR
professionals can converse, and where PR
professionals can promote their brand and improve
their company's image by listening and responding to
what the public is saying about their product.

Impact of the Internet on Business Landscapes
The increased use of the internet has had significant
impact upon the competitive structures of the United
States economy by differentially impacting small and
large businesses. Studies indicate that the primary
benefits of access to the internet for small businesses
are the direct and indirect network effects, lower
search costs and price dispersions. The primary
drawbacks are limited interaction with consumers and
increased expenditures.
There are multiple reasons to encourage more
competition through small businesses. In particular,
small businesses allow for more consumer benefits
which can result in more egalitarian distributions of
income, creation of more jobs and an expanded
middle class.[11]
According to the research by McKinsey Global
Institute, the internet has become the driving force
behind GDP growth in developed economies over the
past 5 years, accounting for a 21 percent increase in
GDP.[12]
The internet is considered a two sided
market with indirect and direct network effects.
Direct network effects are described as the utility of a
service increasing as the number of users increases.
Indirect network demand for two or more users. They
are defined when the value of one client group
increases as another user based group joins the
application.[13]
Smaller businesses thrive with indirect network
effects because they encourage more buyers and
sellers. The increased numbers of participant on one
side of an online business leads to an increase on the
other market side. Direct network effects, on the other
hand, are related to the size of the user base and thus
favor large companies. For example, authors Haucap
and Heimesh off studies on internet-based dominant
services demonstrate that in the case of
telecommunication networks like Skype, Facebook
and LinkedIn, the utility that consumers derive
depend on the presence of other users.[14]
One industry that the access to the internet has
affected is the newspaper industry. The news industry
is in competition with the online news media more
broadly. According to the authors, Jeon and Nasr
discussion, 57 percent of newspaper readers now turn
to digital sources for their news information.
Although this study states that the presence of the
internet has negatively impacted the newspaper
industry, it also demonstrates how small businesses
have undermined large news monopolies. Because
large businesses gather their news information from
smaller news companies, it allows readers of these
articles to navigate to these small companies
websites. This creates more consumer interaction and
ambition for high quality news for smaller businesses.
Search costs are defined as the costs of looking for
information. It is easier to discover and compare
information through the internet. Lower search costs
allow consumers to gather a range of prices for the
specific product. This reduces price dispersion. The
internet supports consumer spending by providing
different retailers who produce a variety of products
and a variety of price dispersion. These show that
lower search costs support a more competitive
structure because it is easier to find unique and rare
products through the increase of firms presence on the
internet.
The drawbacks for small businesses include limited
interaction between business and consumer and very
high expenditures. The New York Times writes an
article about a grocery retailer, "Holiday Market",
that is labeled as a small business in Detroit. The
stores revenue has increased by 20 percent because of
the addition of online shopping for customers.
However, although profit was booming there were
still some logistical challenges for this small grocery
retailer to have a presence online. One challenge was
the expenses. The owner describes how expensive it
was to create space inside his store to keep his online
orders cold and fresh.
Performance benefits
There are six channels by which social media
resources can transform into business performance
capabilities:
1. Social capital represents the extent to which
social media affects firms' and organizations'
relationships with society and the degree to which
the organizations' use of social media increases
corporate social-performance capabilities.
2. Revealed preferences represent the extent to
which social media exposes customers' likings

(e.g., "likes" and followers) and increase a firm's
financial capabilities (e.g., stock price, revenue,
profit), or for non-profits, increases their
donations, volunteerism rate, etc.
3. Social marketing represents the extent to which
social-marketing resources (e.g., online
conversations, sharing links, online presence,
sending text-messages) are used to increase a
firm's financial capabilities (e.g., sales,
acquisition of new customers) or a non-profit's
voluntary sector goals.
4. Social corporate networking involves the
informal ties and linkages of
corporate/organizational staff with other people
from their field or industry, clients, customers,
and other members of the public, which form
through social networks. Social corporate
networking can increase operational performance
capabilities in many ways, as it can enable sales
staff to find new clients; help marketing staff to
learn about client/customer needs and demand,
and teach management about the public
perceptions of their strategy or approach.
5. Influence on consumer decisions with the ever-
increasing technological development of social
media, this has affected consumers' decision to
buy the product or service provided by
companies. On the other hand, social media has
become an important factor in increasing the sales
of brands, whether large or small, since the
beginning of the Internet revolution. There is
much research to prove this, based on the actions
taken by the consumer through 2017. There will
be many reports at the beginning 2018 confirming
the degree to which social media has become
effective in marketing companies and the
importance of focusing on them.
There are four tools or approaches that engage
experts, customers, suppliers, and employees in the
development of products and services using social
media. Companies and other organizations can use
these tools and approaches to improve their business
capacity and performance.
Monitoring, tracking and analysis of consumers
Companies are increasingly using social media
monitoring tools to monitor, track, and analyze online
conversations on the Web about their brand or
products or about related topics of interest. This can
be useful in public relations management and
advertising campaign tracking, allowing the
companies to measure return on investment for their
social media ad spending, competitor-auditing, and
for public engagement. Tools range from free, basic
applications to subscription-based, more in-depth
tools.
Social media tracking also enables companies to
respond quickly to online posts that criticize their
product or service. By responding quickly to critical
online posts, and helping the user to resolve the
concerns, this helps the company to lessen the
negative effects that online complaints can have about
company product or service sales. In the US, for
example, if a customer criticizes a major hotel chain's
cleanliness or service standards on a social media
website, a company representative will usually
quickly be alerted to this critical post, so that the
company representative can go online and express
concern for the sub-par service and offer the
complaining person a coupon or discount on their
next purchase, plus a promise to forward their
concerns to the hotel manager so that the problem
will not be repeated. This rapid response helps to
show that the company cares about its customers.
Social authority
Social media marketing becomes effective through a
process called "building social authority". One of the
foundation concepts in social media has become that
you cannot completely control your message through
social media but rather you can simply begin to
participate in the "conversation" expecting that you
can achieve a significant influence in that
conversation. However, this conversation
participation must be cleverly executed because
although people are resistant to marketing in general,
they are even more resistant to direct or overt
marketing through social media platforms. This may
seem counterintuitive but it is the main reason
building social authority with credibility is so
important. A marketer can generally not expect
people to be receptive to a marketing message in and
of itself. In the Edelman Trust Barometer report in
2008, the majority (58%) of the respondents reported
they most trusted company or product information
coming from "people like me" inferred to be
information from someone they trusted. In the 2010
Trust Report, the majority switched to 64% preferring
their information from industry experts and
academics. According to Inc. Technology's Brent
Leary, "This loss of trust, and the accompanying turn
towards experts and authorities, seems to be
coinciding with the rise of social media and
networks."
Market Research
Social Media has had a significant impact on
businesses in terms of market research. As a result of
the changes in consumer communication habits, due
to the rise in the use of social media platforms,

traditional research methods have become less
effective. Long established methods such as
telephone and email conversations, used by
businesses have begun to decline in terms of quality
and ability to reach customers when attempting to
gain opinions and insights. However, this has had
many positive implications. New and innovative
market research methods have been formed in
replacement which better suit the preferences of the
modern consumer.
More outdated market research methods such as focus
groups and surveys have the disadvantage of being
very time consuming and expensive. However social
media offers a new accessible method which has
limited costs when attempting to communicate and
gage the opinions of a target market. When making a
potential purchase, customers will often turn to social
media for more information and advice from brands
and other customers. Therefore, this makes social
media essential for many people when making
decisions. Facebook and Twitter provide the
opportunity for customers to interact and find out
more information on products and services while
simultaneouslyproviding market research material.[31]
These interactions create lasting relationships
between consumers and brands. From this
communication, viewpoints and queries can be used
to understand a target market better. Using social
media as a tool when conducting market research
helps create research strategies that can facilitate
efficient and powerful results to improve business
operations.
