Social Media Marketing Tulsa

I must admit that I was slow to jump into social media. A large part of me didn’t want to reconnect with my past — I knew that if I did get into it, I would purposefully use it as a tool and not a time waster. It wasn’t long before it proved to be a very effective way for me to be in front of thousands of people that would probably never Google us or go to our website.

Social media marketing is all about finding ways to bring content directly to the end user instead of finding ways to get them to search for it or solely relying upon people that would look for you anyway. It is awesome! I know for a fact that there are companies that are not taking advantage of social media to extend the brand of their products and services or to create leads or sales. At the VERY LEAST use it as a tool to change the way that you communicate with your CURRENT CUSTOMERS! I don’t even think a smart business owner should have to waste time trying to justify the usage of social media integration for company marketing for this simple reason: your customers are using social media to communicate with everyone.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that not long from now, our mobile devices and cell phones will be used more on the social media communication tools to reach out to people instead of actually talking on it with people. And where will you be as a business owner if you didn’t take an hour or two each week (hint: this is really all it takes — 20 minutes a day, Monday – Friday is all it would take) to learn more about social media marketing and actually develop a presence online for your company on sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc? You’ll be wondering why the phone isn’t ringing talking about how, “people just aren’t interested in that ‘personal touch’ anymore.” No, no they aren’t. The personal touch has been redefined. People want CONVENIENCE because they lead busy lives and have busy schedules. There’s no room for a telephone call when they are out running errands, but they do have time to respond to a comment or post on their Facebook wall while they are sitting at the stop light on their iPhone.

Stop trying to use a telegraph machine when everyone else is using a phone!

The biggest question for small to medium businesses owners remains:

1. How can it be used to generate leads and sales?
2. How can I keep my employees from wasting time on it during work hours?

Can I tell you a secret? You won’t know unless you start doing it, and they are already wasting time during work hours. Get out of the dark ages and dedicate some time to do some of these things.
