Some types of social media
The Three R’s
• Respect – the people you
talk to and the people you talk
about
• Responsibility – You
are responsible for what you say
• Representation – Make
it clear who you represent – as an
employee, you cannot disclose or
discuss confidential issues
affecting your organisation
It’s good to have your R’s to fall back on

publish is added onto
their Facebook wall

and share your news

social media presence to be difficult

been invited to share your news for
FREE!

What is SEM
On-line marketing PPC
• You profile when and where
your ad is displayed
• You define the keywords that
will indicate a potential client
• You set the budget per click,
budget per day, and total
budget for the campaign
• You create a landing page on
your web site
• Measure, measure, measure
Traditional
• You identify a publication
that will reach your
audience
• You design your ad
• You choose the size and
location of the ad
• You pay the fee
• Wait, wait, wait
Search Engine Marketing – PPC pay per click
• Traditional advertising is based on “views”. How
many people will be able to view your content.
A quarter page advert in a local paper can
cost £300-£500 per week based on the circulation
and placement of the ad.
• Pay per click is paid only when a potential client
clicks on the ad and therefore expresses an
interest. A click can cost as from 60 pence to £60
but you set and control the budget
A search engine will then take people
to your landing page

IMPLEMENTATION
Building the initial pages and agreeing on a launch methodology is key to
the success of your marketing plans
What makes a good landing page
Relevant and original content
– What is the purpose of your page? (It should be clear to users)
– Is your content copied from other sites? (It shouldn't be!)
– Why would a user visit your page over a similar site? (Your site should offer value for users)
– What other additional products, features, or reviews can you offer?
Transparency
– Can the user easily learn more about your business (i.e. about us, company info, contact info)
– How does your site interact with a visitor's computer? (it shouldn't download malware or
collect sensitive information without a user's permission)
– Can users tell what they're getting (or giving you) when they click a download button or fill out
a form?
– Is it clear to site visitors how you will use their personal information?
Navigability
– If your page is conversion-focused, can the user easily access additional information to learn
more or answer questions?
– Is it simple for the user to move around the site, and reach destination content within a few
clicks?
Call to Action
• Getting people to your web site is
pointless unless they do something
when they are there
• What do you want people to do?
• Every page on your site should have a
reason to be there
• You need to be clear about what you
want them to do on the page, from
sign up to a newsletter or download
an article or even read the content

implementation
• Who will create the
Facebook pages?
• Who will the
administrators of each
page be?
• How many posts will be
made each day during
the launch?
• Who will write them?
• To create a page you
need to have a
Facebook account
• You should always have
2 or more page
managers
• Do not hand your on-
line reputation to a
person just because
they use Facebook
