Editor's Notes
- Today we’ll talk about social media; how this huge phenomena affected our lives, the way we communicate and also the way we work. And today we will focus especially on how companies are using these terrific channels to connect to all of us.
- So what is SM? It is basically all those online interacting activities which combine words, photos, videos and audio.
- In a few words…
- Let me give you a couple of boring stats on how SM has taken over the corporate world
- In Oman online forums (mainly the Sabla, Al Omaniya and Oman Forum), Facebook and YouTube are very popular however other SM platforms like Twitter, blogging, Flickr are also becoming popular as more and more people are getting into them
- So the question is….with so many people (potential customers) on SM can companies afford not to be there too?
- It will give you an amazing exposure
- Just like other marketing collaterals SM will give an extra boost to your branding
- We all know how powerful word of mouth is in Oman, SM can be even a more powerful tool to be used at your advantage
- By using SM I learnt so much and thanks to SM I can now share it with others!
- Thanks to SM, for instance a blog, you can become a self thought leader
- By exchanging views, ideas, feedback, etc you will always know what your potential customers want/need
- You will always know what people are saying about you…and you will always be ready to dismiss any false rumours
