Bad news point no. 2 regarding traditional marketing - people are realizing that THEY control the messages they receive.
There’s Caller ID, the National Do Not Call Registry, Tivo, satellite radio, the delete button...it goes on and on.
They can tune out advertising messages more than ever before.

So what is social media?
One good way to look at it is to compare it to a business networking event or cocktail party, without time constraints or space limitations and potentially with every single one of the people who have a Facebook or Twitter account.
Your goals on social media are very similar to the goals at a networking event:
Engage people
Start conversations
Ask questions
Help others
Get advice
And, above all, Add Value.

There are three essential aspects of social media:
1. Publish - that is, put your information out there in the form of a Facebook post or a tweet on Twitter. In social media, everyone can publish anything for everyone. Monitor what other people publish about your brand or industry and empower your customers to publish about you too.
2. Share - In social media, it’s acceptable - actually expected and encouraged - for you to “share” other people’s content. This is where you can develop strong loyalty among your customers. Share something unique from another company, a cool video or amazing photo, for example - and if people like it, they’ll share it too. It’s not just a one-way message of “buy my product or service.” It’s all about setting a tone and culture about you and your brand.
3. Network - With social media, you can connect with everyone from anywhere in the world. Personally, that can mean your old high school pals or in business, it could be a supplier from China. Start with your existing friends and branch out from there. But make sure you bring something valuable to the conversation - people will “Unfriend” or “Unfollow” you if you’re just posting the same promotion about your company all the time.
Sounds pretty easy, right?

At this point, you’re probably 200 steps ahead of where you should be in your social media plan. You’re probably thinking about all the cool links you’re going to post or the promotions you’re going to try out tonight on Facebook. And that’s great.
But to really get VALUE out of your social media - meaning, a return on investment of your time and effort - you need to take a step back.
If you are launching a new product, you wouldn’t just make the decision one day and it would magically appear the next day. There is strategy involved with business decisions.
So it is with social media and how it fits into your marketing strategy.
Social media, like all marketing, is only effective in a business sense when you think of it - and plan for it - as part of your overall marketing plan.

Before you start social media, like any marketing tactic, you have to ask questions before you start.
Who are you targeting?
Why are you targeting them?
How will you reach them?
How do you make them advocates of your organization or brand??
Most of social media growth is coming in the 35-plus year old demographic. There are million different sites that present data in different ways. But one thing is for sure - the channel is seeing explosive growth.

Just as an example, as of this month (September), Facebook had 300 million active users, which would make it the fourth most populous country in the world. That's up from 250 million users just three months ago.
Ahead of Russia, Indonesia and Brazil.
So how do you market to the fourth most populous country in the world? Just like you would market to any other traditional segment.
The Customer Life Cycle describe the progression of steps a customer goes through when considering, purchasing, using and maintaining loyalty to a product or service.
Some people have never heard of you, others are raving fans and still others are not happy with you.
Here are the generally accepted levels within the Customer Life Cycle:
Awareness - they’ve maybe heard of you, vaguely
Interest - they’ve heard of you and maybe visited your website. No purchases.
Action - they’ve made a single purchase
Evaluation - They form opinions on whether or not your product or service met their needs.
Advocacy - They are fans of the brand. They purchase frequently and tell their friends about your brand.
No single marketing tool can be used to move people through the cycle and social media can be a catalyst to move them from one part of the cycle to another.
For example, raising awareness can be done through traditional media - moving someone to the advocacy level can be accomplished using social media because they already have shown a willingness to hear your message.
Part of your social media solution should be who you’re targeting, where they are in the customer life cycle and how to reach them using social media to move them closer to the brand advocate level.

you have a "profile" if you're an individual - a "Page" if you're a business or Non-profit
here's the Facebook page of American cancer society - let me point out a few things:
Wall - this is your dashboard...you'll see your posts, things your friends or fans are posting.
Fans - these are all your fans....people who've chosen to engage with you and get information from you.
The info boxes are important - this is where you post information about your organization. Don't skimp on these details
You can also post pictures and "tag" people in them. So if you post a picture and tag "Joe Smith" who is on your board, then all of Joe Smith's friends or fans - assuming he has a Facebook accounty - will be notified that you tagged him a photo and probably will click through to your photos.

Facebook is useful for organizations that want to have a multi-level conversation with their donors and supporters, particuarly as you struggle to get coverage in the local media and advertising budgets shrink.
It allows you to form groups, tag photos, post links and videos.
It also is the fastest growing site out there - who’s noticed that their mother or grandmother has joined? Or maybe you heard complaints from your kids when you did?
There are conversations, events, and networking opportunities that are only happening there; if you’re not on Facebook, you’re missing these opportunities.

The good news is there&#x2019;s free speech...the bad news is there&#x2019;s free speech. You can&#x2019;t control social media.
Social media means you have to go where your supporters are and ask permission to interact, a 180 from the way it&#x2019;s been done before when we&#x2019;d push messages to them.
Admit mistakes and move on. Be free to fail.
It can be a Timesuck if you try to do it all at once. Pick one channel that would most effectively reach your target audience, learn it and move on to the next one.
It&#x2019;s fast. There&#x2019;s no time to get things approved by committee. Social media outlets can sense when you&#x2019;re not being up-front or when you&#x2019;re spinning them.
We don&#x2019;t know what&#x2019;s next - things are changing rapidly. A year from now, Facebook might be abandoned and we&#x2019;ll be talking about something completely different.

Social media means you have to go where your supporters are and ask permission to interact, a 180 from the way it&#x2019;s been done before when we&#x2019;d push messages to them.
Admit mistakes and move on. Be free to fail.
It can be a Timesuck if you try to do it all at once. Pick one channel that would most effectively reach your target audience, learn it and move on to the next one.
It&#x2019;s fast. There&#x2019;s no time to get things approved by committee. Social media outlets can sense when you&#x2019;re not being up-front or when you&#x2019;re spinning them.

Social media, if it&#x2019;s to be effective, should be incorporated into your traditional marketing mix.
Messaging - make sure what you&#x2019;re saying on social media jives with your corporate brand. Don&#x2019;t be too formal, however. It can be a tricky balance. Share content that your supporters will find useful.
Tools exist to update multiple social media channels at the same time.
Use the feed on your organization's website - this provides additional content for your site as well as letting your supporters know you&#x2019;re on these channels.
Include your presence in any other traditional advertising - like your print ads or on your organization's website.

There are a number of ways you can measure your social media presence:
Facebook reports
YouTube views
No. of friends or followers
No of posts on your wall or in your forum and the number of re-tweets you receive
Ultimately, however, tracking social media&#x2019;s return on investment should be similar to how you track your traditional advertising. If you tweet out an offer for a discount on tickets for an upcoming event, how many people took advantage of that?
Social media engagement measurement can be difficult to track however since at it&#x2019;s heart it is branding and word-of-mouth advertising.
One thing that is for certain, however - your supporters are out there and using these tools. If you&#x2019;re not, you&#x2019;re missing out.
