Social Media Today
• 8 out of 10 small businesses struggle with the execution of their marketing strategies.
• And more and more of those businesses are turning towards the internet as their
preferred marketing medium.
• MerchantCircle's quarterly Merchant Confidence Index recently reported social
media marketing has increased by 40% over the past 12 months.
• The three top online marketing tactics for small businesses are search
marketing (40%), social networking (36%) and email marketing (36%)
• Traditional marketing tactics are declining.
• In 2010, print advertising went down by 33%, the use of print Yellow Pages
declined 18%, and the use of direct mail decreased 26%.
WHY?
Social Media Today
• Better Conversion Rate
• Unlike some of the other techniques employed on the web, SMO is a much more
targeted method of marketing that can produce excellent results as far as
conversion rate is concerned, thus ensuring a high return on investment.
• Making New Customers
• The internet is not just a pool of people; it is more like a never ending stream that
will keep bringing countless visitors on an almost daily basis, dramatically
increasing your chances of making new customers.
• Retaining Old Customers
• Once you have a customer, Social Media allows you to retain them by giving
businesses the ability to interact with them, let them in on new offers and deals.
Keeping them engaged through a social network is a good way to retain customers
and get new referrals.
Social Media Today
• Direct Feedback
• For many companies, feedback is limited to angry customers. Social media allows
you to get good and bad feedback directly from your target market.
• Cost Effective
• Social media presents a mammoth advertising and marketing opportunity for
businesses that cannot afford spending big bucks on traditional marketing
techniques.
• MerchantCircle survey data indicated over half of small business merchants
spend less than $2,500 a year on marketing, and 60% have no plans to raise
their budgets this year.
• These merchants are also cost-conscious: 2% cite high cost for avoiding some
marketing tactics. Many merchants struggle to manage existing programs and
don’t have time to take advantage of new, unproven marketing tactics. Lack of
time and resources are a major online marketing challenge for over one-third of
the merchants surveyed (37%).

SO WHAT IS TWITTER?
And how do I use it?
• The simplest and the easiest social networking tool that works on just
three terminologies
• “Following”
• “Followed”
• Tweets
• When you display information on the profile page of your Twitter
account, it’s instantly delivered to the users who are “following” you.
These followers can retweet or respond to your business information
or even share with their followers.
• Avoid using auto-reply or auto-follow functions. Make Twitter a
community and interact with your followers.
• Initiate conversations
• Leave queries, take interest in their queries
