Although the social media train has left the station you still may have your doubts if you want to jump on. Although you may have heard of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter you might have the belief that it is meant for college students and adolescents. You may not realize that these social media sites can help generate revenue for your business. Social Media Marketing when done in the hands of a professional can help gain you exposure and massive amounts of traffic by simply promoting your business through Social Media channels. PTS Social Media, a Scottsdale Marketing Firm, has compiled a list of the Top 10 Benefits of Using Social Media Marketing.
1) It is a fraction of the cost of print advertising. The truth of the matter is news papers may be dying but the need for content has increased now more than ever. This means low-cost but high returns.
2) Allows you to connect with you customers even when your doors close. Although your business may only be open from 9 to 5 that does not mean you can’t still engage with your customers or promote information about up and coming events, products and services.
3) With print advertising once your ad goes to print that is it. Social Media Marketing on the other hand allows your promotions to evolve on a day to day basis.
4) Allows you as a business owner to see what is working and what is not. Feedback is encouraged on social media channels allowing you to see what your web audience relates too.
5) Allows you to seek out potential new customers based on what has already been established as your current demographic.
6) Helps you to appear higher within Google. This means when someone is looking for a business in your area you have a better chance of that person clicking on your information.
7) Permits you to follow your competition. If you are like me you want to know what your competitors is doing to drive traffic through their doors. Now with Social Media Marketing you can see what offers your competition is putting on the table to succeed.
(8) Get the message out Faster and to more people. Social Media enables more rapid sharing of information. It may take hours, or even days, for a new announcement to reach the end consumer through traditional channels but with Social Media it is a matter of seconds.
9) Social Media Marketing uses tools such as blogs to increase awareness and image. Blogging can help “spread the word” about a company, its products, and its services to more people, dramatically increasing brand recognition and awareness.
10) Can help create a list of loyal followers. These followers will keep bringing your company business and referring it to others if they are pleased with what they are finding on your social media channels.
If you are truly interested in using online media sites to spread the word about your business, you would easily benefit from hiring a professional to help you with the details. Someone who works in this field and knows what they are doing can give you a lot of tips and bring you a bigger return on investment than you could have done on your own.

Great read and true. I manipulate web sites for clients every day. Our social media team is the fastest growing segment of our business. The fees for manipulating a social media site is much less than any other form of marketing, but, it seems to drive the most traffic to clients physical site or their digital store.

Good read… Social media counts for a majority of my buisness. Being a promoter in nightlife scene, pretty much everyone I come in contact with has a FB, MS, or whatever… so I blast all of my event and events I am hired to promote for there.

It would be great to see the first line bold so they stand out a little more. But it was an easy read and just another showcase of how reliant we are to the internet. Pretty incredible thought.
Aviva I took you suggestion and made the necessary correction.
The SEO pwer alone is worth the investment no longer is the day of he with the most dollars gets the highest ranking….levels the playing field but you have to play the gam and it takes social networking knowledge to be on the team. Nice write up for beginners and possible customers to unbderstand the importance of budgeting for this market.
Nice blog about marketing for the future. Worthwhile to read.
Great article, this is the future of marketing
Great article and very true, that is why our office has a Facebook Fanpage and it is helping to broadcast our great reputation across not only AZ, but the entire country and even Mexico.

I don’t know anything about twitter and am fairly new to FB but it has helped me get my name out. This is an informative article and I would like to know more to help my campaign.

I use Social Media to market my business every day. If having to choose between mass marketing and social Media I pick social Media.
This is a great start! Instead of adding more to your list I think the most important contribution is to point out where people are spending their time… Both customers and prospects are spending more time on Social Media sites like facebook and twitter. As a business owner you want to position yourself and your company where your customers are…
Great article. I couldn’t agree more. Facebook has helped my home based tremendously.
