7. The future of social media - Some hard truths
The truth is that most forms of media are going to sound like
science fiction in 10 -25 years from now and if you want to
appeal to, and do business with, Millennials you will need to
start building your brand online now, instead of trying to
catch up with ‘the Joneses’ who have been building a loyal
community since the launch of Facebook. New technologies
and platforms will evolve but they will soon be bought
out and integrated with the big guns such as Twitter and
Facebook as can be seen by the Whatsapp acquisition by
Facebook for US$ 19 Billion - yes Billion.
In 25 years from now you will be able to put on
your wearable tech and through augmented
reality catch up with your Facebook friends
in the Bahamas before work. Business
networking will be taken to a whole new
level with hologram conferencing, so please
make sure your last post isn’t from 2 years
ago and your LinkedIn profile doesn’t still
say you are a passionate barman.
Do you want your business to be top of mind in 2026?

11. Why use social media?
“
Social media is like a snowball rolling down a hill. It’s
picking up speed. Five years from now, it’s going to be
the standard. Embrace social media NOW and don’t be
left behind trying to make something from nothing.

12. Facebook Paid Advertising
Due to the Facebook algorithm change in January 2015 the majority of
your fans will not be exposed to your brand messages. The only way to
guarantee that your messages are exposed to your target audience on
Facebook is through paid advertising.
Heard of Facebook Remarketing but not sure what it is exactly?
Remarketing on Facebook enables us to target users that have already
engaged on your website. For example, a user visited your online chilli store
but got called into a meeting and never purchased, then in the evening
after a long days work they are browsing Facebook, and wait, there’s an
ad for that same chilli right in their feed, how did Facebook know! That’s
remarketing.
Paid advertising spend is an additional cost over our management fees and can be
linked to a company credit card or run through the Social Media Now account.

21. What is Scommerce?
Social Commerce (Scommerce) highlights the immense role social media plays in
HOW and WHY we purchase. ‘How’ meaning that shortly we won’t be able to
differentiate between ecommerce stores and social networks. ‘Why’ being the role
online conversations and opinions influence our purchasing decisions.

25. LinkedIn? Twitter? Blogging? I don’t want to be on Facebook!
There has been a great deal of hype around personal branding and you might have set up a
LinkedIn profile awhile ago and now you have started to get email notifications with people
wanting to connect with you. Connect what? The truth is that social media is changing rapidly and
it is almost impossible to keep up, especially if you are a business owner or executive focusing on
your day-to-day. At Social Media Now we can help you build a professional online profile that is easy

26. The power of LinkedIn
Career management & recruitment
One of the most popular uses of LinkedIn is for showcasing your skills
and expertise when searching for new career opportunities or getting
your business noticed by investors. LinkedIn is the perfect online resumé
to get noticed in any industry, but especially in the corporate world where
LinkedIn has become the go-to tool for talent management/research.
You are an ambassador for your business
If you are a business owner or top level executive you will without a
doubt be one of your businesses biggest marketing tools. Personal
branding is all about building your brand in order to invertedly build your
business by being seen as an industry expert.
Social networking at its best
LinkedIn has become the business networking hub for industry experts
to connect with like-minded professionals to build business and form
partnerships. LinkedIn also provides a number of premium memberships
that gives you the ability to connect further and boost lead generation for
sales people.
Get your business found
LinkedIn is not only for individuals but an effective platform for
businesses to showcase their services and communicate company news
to stakeholders. LinkedIn company pages need to be verified by a domain
name linked to the company, which increases the platforms legitimacy.
