This morning, Alphabetix gave a talk at the Mt Hood Chamber of Commerce about getting your social media on. Topics covered included:
- Blogging with sites like Blogger and WordPress – Blogs serve as a business marketing tool because they are a great way to build content and show knowledge about your market. Check out our posts on why you should blog and how to drive traffic to your blog for more information about how blogs can help grow your business.
- Microblogging with sites like Twitter – Microblogs, like blogs, are great business marketing tools, but in a condensed format. Microblogs have the potential to reach a large number of people that a small business may otherwise have no access to.
- Social networking with sites like Facebook – Social network services are good marketing tools because they can help build relationships and brand recognition. Sites like Facebook are tremendously popular and allow fans of your business to follow you and receive any updates that you post to your page.
Social media can be a great tool for any company to develop and spread their message to potential customers. Any business looking to increase their brand awareness in the information age can benefit from social media marketing.
