The use of a product can be explained in short messages that followers are more likely to read. These messages appear on followers’ home pages. Messages can link to the product’s website, Face book profile, photos, videos, etc. This link provides followers the opportunity to spend more time interacting with the product online. This interaction can create a loyal connection between product and individual and can also lead to larger advertising opportunities. Twitter promotes a product in real-time and brings customers in. Face book Face book profiles are more detailed than Twitter. They allow a product to provide videos, photos, and longer descriptions. Videos can show when a product can be used as well as how to use it. It can include testimonials as other followers can comment on the product pages for others to see. Face book can link back to the product’s Twitter page as well as send out event reminders. Face book promotes a product in real-time and brings customers in. Blogs Blogs allow a product or company to provide longer descriptions of products or services. The longer description can include reasoning and uses. It can include testimonials and can link to and from Face book and Twitter pages. Blogs can be updated frequently and are promotional techniques for keeping customers RISK EVALUATION In case of difficulty or if there is a necessity to wind up the business the following steps can be taken. Since the kind of products which the company sells is not perishable items it is always easy to sell it back in the market again. The investment made for the computers,, laptop, furniture or the buildup area and the interior decorations are the main issue. However all these assets are also can be re-sold with a revalued price. Even if we decide to sell our firm to a new concern, it will be sold at a higher price due to the image and reputation which our company earned over the past years. We are sure any new company taking over our business could easily continue business in the same name using our goodwill at least for the next three years. CONCLUSION Social media marketing benefits organizations and individuals by providing them an additional channel for customer support, a means to gain customer and competitive insight, recruitment and retention of new customers/business partners, and a method of managing reputation online. Key factors that ensure its success are its relevance to the customer, the value it provides them with and the strength of the foundation on which it is built. A strong foundation serves as a platform in which the organization can centralize its information and direct customers on its recent developments via other social media channels, such as article and press release publications. Oftentimes, corporate social media platforms are used to offer unique incentives to customers who are willing to engage (i.e. quot;
likequot;
a Face book Page). Our firm will enhance better customer relationship and provide the best services to our customers. Since all our partners are from marketing and finance background we would be able to administrate and market our services with ease. BIBLIOGRAPHY
