The Social Media Marketing Handbook - Everything you need to know about Social Media Marketing

Rob Peters

Description

Social media marketing is a recent addition to organizations' integrated marketing communications plans.

Integrated marketing communications is a practice organizations follow to connect with their target markets.

Integrated marketing communications coordinates promotional elements: advertising, personal selling, public relations, publicity, direct marketing and sales promotion. Increasingly, viral marketing campaigns are also grouped into integrated marketing communications.

In the traditional marketing communications model, the content, frequency, timing, and medium of communications by the organization is in collaboration with an external agent, i.e.

advertising agencies, marketing research firms and public relations firms. However, the growth of social media has impacted the way organizations communicate.

With the emergence of Web 2.0, the internet provides a set of tools that allow people to build social and business connections, share information and collaborate on projects online.
Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks.

A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it is coming from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.
Social media has become a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access.

Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service.

Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns.

With emergence of channels like Twitter, the barrier to entry in social media is greatly reduced.
