Assured Social Media

Social media advertising, social advertisements and social blogging are smart techniques for small businesses, start-ups and individuals to utilize the power of the Internet to join with potential customers. Social media websites offer businesses and individuals massive exposure and instant access to millions of Internet users each day. A well-crafted social marketing and advertising campaign can also generate a personal relationship between businesses and shoppers in ways that print, radio and TV advertising cannot.

Of course, the Web offers text, photo and video advertising to attract possible clients, but the Web is also interactive. Now, using the World Wide Web, you can engage clients and prospects with instant messages and live talk. You can answer questions, respond to comments, discuss future events or simply make small-talk, if that’s what it takes to get your marketing message out.

Using the latest technology you can even employ surveys and polls that report customised results and display focused promotional material that is instantly custom-made to every individual you “or your brand “encounter on the web. Additionally, the technology is consistently developing. Mobile social communities are growing swiftly as new mobile gadgets and programmes allow consumers to interact online wherever they go.

According to a Nielsen report issued in Sep 2011, American citizens “spend virtually a quarter of their time online on social networking sites.” Facebook is the most popular social network. Blogger, Tumblr, Twitter and LinkedIn follow in that order. Nielsen also reports that social networking using mobile apps increased by 30% during the past year.http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/
