• Provide the ability to tell "your story". Tools like
twitter, youtube and facebook provide an easy
mechanism to give your marketing message. Unlike
other marketing tools - with social media you give
the control of the message over to the consumers.
They dictate how the message is received and
spread over these media. With the ability to cross
post on different social networks the message can
become viral very quickly (assuming the content is
great!).

13. INFLUENCING
• Social media enables business to influence the
perception (for example pre-launch startup) by
getting your message out to the consumers.
Ideally you want to combine your blog (with
industry/thought leading topics) and use social
media to spread the word about your blog.

doing on SMM as well as listen to the feedback
