What is Social Media Marketing?
Social media marketing is a marketing strategy utilized to drive traffic to a company’s website and increase sales. By using the internet to advertise and get the message out about the products and services offered, a business is able to cover more ground at once and usually, at a lower price than traditional forms of advertising such as direct mail or printed directories like the yellow pages.
Social media marketing consists of a combination of many forms including social media sites, blogs, podcasts, video, forums, and individual websites.
It’s important to create a social media marketing strategy to efficiently and effectively use the tools available.
Social media marketing may be overwhelming to a solopreneur or a small business owner who doesn’t have the time to learn the basics of each social media tool or the human resources needed to manage each account. This is where a Social Media Marketing Manager comes into play. A SMMM will design a marketing strategy, setup the social media accounts and handle the day-to-day management of social media, and post new content on a regular basis.
