How Social Media Can Help Improve Customer Relations

By David Baxter

Social media began to be prevalent around 2005. Today, social media sites like Facebook and MySpace are prevalent among all age groups, although they began with a focus on young people as their main audience, to keep in touch. Today, though, corporations, too, use these sites to improve customer relations. As of 2009, social media has begun to revolutionize the way corporations are managing customer relations altogether.

According to IT research and advisory company Gartner, by 2010 60% of Fortune 1000 companies will be using social media in some form as a way to improve customer relations. That's the good news. Gartner also posits that over half of the companies using social media for this function will do it wrong and actually harm customer relations. Gartner suggests that companies focus their analysis on customer online buying in order to offer a direct calculation of return on investment in terms of sales and customer loyalty coming through social media sites.

Gartner says that there are four steps businesses need to pursue to successfully use social media to manage customer relations. The first step is clearly defining the purpose of the social media initiative. Second, they must be willing to give up some degree of control over the medium, because the public wants some degree of ownership of the relationship as a reward for participating.

Third, companies should focus on rewards for customers that participate in social media. For example, they may set up venues whereby participants can rate contributions or information on the site, vote, and so on. Fourth and finally, companies should invest in having staff in-house who specifically set up social media customer relations as an initiative. This should never be done as just "something to try." Instead, if companies are truly going to try social media as a means to improve customer relations, it should be done seriously, with staff and ancillary staff devoted to it as required.

Social networking has really changed prospects' and customers' behavior, unequivocally. Gartner states that these customers no longer fit demographic profiles such that demographic measurements are entirely adequate or accurate. This is true even though demographics are the usual means companies measure customer relations' effectiveness by.

When it comes to your company, you're not going to want to invest a lot of time or effort in such an undertaking without knowing if it will pay off in terms of driving quality traffic to your company's website.

Non-linear Creations did a one-year study of the effects of five social media sites (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Stumbleupon) on their own home page. After a year, it was determined that social media sites drove about'% of their site's visitors from the referring sites in aggregate.

Of the social networking sites that drove traffic to business sites, Non-linear Creations determined that by far, two sites, LinkedIn and Facebook, did the best in terms of performance. That's important, but it's not everything. You also have to consider conversion rates. Non-linear Creations measured the conversion rate by determining those visitors that had downloaded a white paper, contacted them by phone or email, or subscribe to their newsletter or blog. When considered with these parameters, with "real prospects" actually being driven to their site, LinkedIn performed the best. It was in fact determined that traffic would convert much more frequently if it came from LinkedIn than it would if an average visitor was involved. In fact, other social media sites performed below average.

There's no guarantee that Linkedin will give your company the tangible results that Non-linear Creations got. It probably depends on what type of business you have. It is not quite understood what the less tangible benefits are of reaching customers online in a way that makes them feel as if the brand is listening and cares enough to interact in the way they desire. One of the things people dislike about customer support call centers is their anonymous feel. It keeps them from feeling a sense of relationship to the brand. So far no obvious downsides of using social media for customer service, so it would seem to be in any company's best interests to use this form of outreach.

It certainly isn't hard to create accounts on social media sites. The hard part is in actually interacting with customers on them, listening to them, and analyzing your online visitor numbers to see which social media sites give you the most return on investment in terms of online sales or some other metric. At that point you'll have to determine how much effort to put into making under-performing social media referrers more effective. - 32606

Understanding Twitter: A Tell All Guide

By Michael Fleischner

A number of weeks ago, a good friend turned me on to the social media phenomenon called Twitter. I have to say that I'm not a heavy user of social media and quite honestly don't see the purpose. At least that's what I thought prior to my experience. Three weeks later my thoughts and feeling have changed rather significantly.

Once I got online and started using Twitter, I better understood the fascination with this seemingly simple tool. It has its own vocabulary, functionality, and many features that you may not know about. Of course, the only way to truly understand Twitter is to read a how to guide, watch a video, or use a third party platform for managing Twitter related activities.

With so many varied interests, its always been difficult for me to find like minded individuals who are in to so many of the same things that I am. Twitter has solved this problem for me. Not only can you find others who share similar interests or vocations, but you can follow posts made around a given subject area or topic. This clues you in to those interested in the topic and what's being discussed across millions of users. Not only do you have access to individuals sharing the same interests you have, but also celebrities. I never really thought that I would care to have access to what one celeb or another was doing, but it definitely makes people seem more approachable. I've also sent and received Tweets from celebrities, bringing into reality the fact that they're human too.

When you find a community of individuals who share your interests, concerns, and are willing to have a discussion around them, it enriches your experience. This is especially true as I have built a small following of people within my area of interest. When I have a question or topic that needs discussion, this group is always willing to share what they know and comment on my messages, also called tweets. Also called retweeting, the act of sending someones post to your follower happens frequently within the Twitter community.

You may be thinking to yourself that having an audience is a good thing, but it can also become a bit overwhelming at times. Twitter has a way to handle this as well. You can easily control who you follow and easily change your notifications. In essence, you can be very selective about who you communicate with and who communicates to you. This is a wonderful feature that helps you manage all of the messaging that happens on a regular basis.

The truth is that I was not an early adopter of social media for a number of reasons. Now that I've gotten some experience with Twitter and other social media tools, I better understand my initial reluctance to jump on board. I avoided social media because I simply didn't understand it. What I didn't realize at the time was that I'd never be able to fully appreciate it until I actually used it. Now that I have, I clearly see the value. - 32606

Websites called Social Media Site allows subscribers to create personal pages and connect with others to share and talk. On the Internet, you will not run out of people to connect with and the resources are unlimited. Just find the sites that fit your profile.

When corporate heads realized the power of Social Media they jumped in to use it as a source of demographic studies. The news easily targets specific genders and ages to meet their criteria.

Take advantage of the digital technology that revolutionized the way we document our lives with everything on the web cam and the camcorder.

As the search engines receive new submissions everyday, it is a great source of information. People can promote their skills, their writings, art, and anything within moral and ethical guidelines. When web cams came out users jumped right in and began to see whom they had been talking to.

Social Media brings about participation by the community in the quality of the content. It brings about openness, spontaneity and confidence in the people knowing that this is a two way street and someone is listening to them.

Forums and other forms of communication are monitored according to their sites' guidelines for users. People are supposed to express themselves, which in turn builds confidence as they get feedback from others and they make friends for life. Learn from a new friend about their culture.

Social Media has given a platform to everyone. It has truly granted freedom to every individual. There is participation is decision making, leaders lose and win elections or at least a safe prediction can be made on their basis. A motion can be passed or public interest litigation won or lost; all via this media.

Social Media Site is Democracy - where everyone is allowed to express himself or herself and find like minded people. To some it can be a great release to realize they are not alone in believing that there is a higher intangible power or the issue of same sex marriages.

Twitter Is Your Source For Quality Leads

By Michael Fleischner

Twitter is being used by people all over the world. In fact, the application has now been around for some time and each day new uses are found for this blog like tool. As a marketer, I've been wondering about the uses of Twitter and how it might be used to help my business.

Personally, I'm not usually first to use a new application. I'd rather others adopt new technologies, work out the kinks and then I jump on board. The same has been true with Twitter. It wasn't long until I opened and account and am learning about this tool and all of the additional apps that have been created for various reasons. In no time at all I learned that the main reason for Twitter usage is connecting with others.

What if you could find influential people in your industry and directly listen to them, learn from them, and have insight into what they're focused on? Enter Twitter and the ability to search, find, and follow those in your industry. You may be quite surprised by all the people out there in your niche sharing ideas, news, and information. By following these people you can stay on top of industry trends and learn a great deal.

Once you have established a good list of people to follow, you can add others to your list that are either outside your industry or perhaps bring something else of value to your day to day activities. What's great about building a list of people to follow is that you are in control and can either start or stop following people at will. This is a great way to focus your efforts and get value from everyone you follow.

Another great benefit of Twitter is that of a following. In addition to following other people, others can follow you. Over time, this allows you to build a large list of followers. You may be asking yourself what type of benefit this provides but for those of you who are marketing online, you know that its all about building a list. Twitter is the ultimate list of like minded individuals who value what you have to say, share, or promote.

Keep in mind that building a list is valuable. This list, if comprised of individuals interested in your niche or company can translate into customers. There are a variety of techniques you can use to do this but one of the easiest is to encourage them to visit your site, by posting a link, and getting them to register or sign up. Attach an auto responder to the sign up and move them through the purchase cycle. If the list of followers is targeted and you can add something of value, then you and your customers will be pleased with the outcome.

If you haven't already reached this conclusion, getting involved with is like have a direct dialog with prospects. Begin by offering something of value, gaining their trust and following. Once you've proven yourself as an expert or having authority in a given area, it's time to promote products or services that help to solve a problem. Twitter is a great tool for building your online business and targeting prospective customers. - 32606

Are You Expecting Social Media To Help You Sell?

By Michael Fleischner

Can social media really help your business build it's brand or sell the products you have to offer? With more people using these web sites on a daily basis, there must be a way to turn followers into purchasers. I believe its possible with a few simple strategies. Consider the power of social media as communicator, leader, and sale person. Follow these guidelines for social media success.

Social media is all about building a dialog with like minded people or people who are in your target audience. Social media has impact when it is focused on the market you serve. If you are in shoes and you're trying to build a following in the area of automotive, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Create a social media plan. How are you planning to use social media? What are your goals? Who is going to help you manage the dialog? Take some time to consider all of these questions and others related to how you are going to manage your social media plan. It's important to know who can support your social media needs and how you are going to succeed online.

Share your expertise. What are you good at? Others want to learn from those with experience in a given area. Do you have a skill that you can teach others? Take time to share what you know and do it in bite sized pieces. This can keep others engaged and allow you to communicate within your comfort zone. The more experience you can share the better.

Be consistent with your communications. Speak with your audience on a regular basis. Better yet, create a dialog and conversation around specific topics. This ensures that your conversation is meaningful and valuable. Its always a good idea to solicit topics from your audience. What you share must be relevant to their day to day needs.

Invite conversation with others around specific topics. Take a stand and choose a side. By serving to create dialog, others want to be part of the conversation. The more people that weigh in the better your content as it represents many different points of view. This enriches the content and attracts others to your conversation.

Don't sell. Here's the key with social media. If all you plan to do is sell, youre in for a big surprise. People using social media don't want to be sold. Rather, create meaningful content, let others follow and interact with you, share your expertise. To sell with social media, you first need to sell yourself. After a short time, others will try what you try, follow what you follow, and take your suggestions as gospel.

Using social media for marketing success is possible. However, to do so you will have to walk a fine line between offering value, communicating regularly, and mentioning products or services. Your best bet is to create a following first, create value, and only offer suggestions that are relevant to the dialog. Make a social media plan that can help you succeed online and follow through every day. Social media should be a significant part of your marketing plan. - 32606

Learning How To Automate Social Bookmarking

By Buford Mobley

When it comes to social bookmarking there are options that a person has. Many people find that using automated social bookmarking software is the way to go to reap the rewards quickly. Others prefer not to use this type of method. It is all a matter of personal choice. Here is some advice on how to automate social bookmarking.

One of the benefits that using a software provides a person with is that the url's that you submit are placed into categories that are attributed to the tags that you have created for them. You no longer will need to spend hours with submissions as the software will help you get this done.
