Social Media – What is it? How can it work for me?

Posted on by

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.

So you are at work, and you hear people talking about what they read in a tweet.  And you are thinking what is a tweet anyway?  That is a good question,  I am glad you asked, and who better to answer that question for you than your Social Media Consultants in Roanoke, Spencer Technology Solutions.  A Tweet is a form of Social Media that basically sends a text message ( a short message called a tweet) to all of your friends at once.  Think of it as shorter/faster Facebook.  Tweeting is new lingo that means posting something to your Twitter account so all of your followers can read it.  For a business this is just a form of Social Media that can further help you get your business’ information out to potential customers. 

It is a simple concept.  The more ways you use to promote your business, the more marketing tools you use, the more chances for someone to hear about your business.  People who use Twitter are not always the same people who use Facebook.  Everytime your business publishes a blog, it can be automatically posted as a “tweet” to your twitter feed. Anyone following your twitter account will know you published something new.  Social Media is the new and exciting way for businesses to give information to their customers.  Let us design a package for your business today.
