We have all heard the term “Social Media.” It is the newest buzz word in the business and technology industry.  But what is Social Media, and how can it work for your business in the Roanoke Valley ?  Social Media encompasses Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, and of course blogging – like you are reading now.  Other sites like LinkedIn and MySpace are considered Social Media as well.  You say this is all well and good for playing games and having fun talking to friends, but how is this helping my business.  Afterall, didn’t we just discuss how employees are goofing off in the workplace by playing on Facebook?

Remember when you were a kid, and you wanted to know where the best shoe store was, or the best ice cream parlor ? How did you find out? Well, you got out the old yellow pages, and you looked at the ads until you found what you were looking for.  Now think of Facebook and its counterparts as the modern day yellow pages.  If someone wants to know about a local business in their area, they are going to google it, or use some other search engine on the internet to find what they are looking for.  Well Social Media is how you increase your company’s search engine optimization (SEO), or presence on the internet.  You make it easier for new customers to find you and read more about your business. 

Now just think, I had to say all of that just to tell you that Social Media is the modern day Yellow Pages.  Call Spencer Technology Solutions today at 540-815-9397 for your Social Media consultation.  Let us help you put the Yellow Pages to work for you today.
