There’s no question in my mind that social media is a must-have marketing tool and should be a critical channel for your marketing strategy. If you don’t know where to start, I have two options for you. 1) Call me. 2) Download this free ebook: Social Media Marketing GPS.
If you are like me, and want your tutorials in quick, easy-to-read format, this ebook was written with the ingenious idea of writing it one tweet at a time! That requires creativity. The author, Toby Bloomberg, interviewed 40 marketing leaders via tweets, to showcase social media marketing strategy. To quote the author:
“The goal was to create a comprehensive body of knowledge that could serve as a roadmap (GPS) for developing a strategic social media plan. My thoughts were if this could be accomplished in a series of 140 character tweets it might help ease the apprehension for people new to social media, while at the same time, providing a review and offering some interesting ideas for those more experienced.”

Third reason for Why Social Media?… Increasingly the consumer is in control of branding/mktg message. Ppl are talking about us!
Reason #4, pressure is on to improve targeting/minimize waste; niche marketing is in.
Finally, fifth reason for Why SoMe? Companies are being held to new levels of accountability.
Why Social Media? People are talking and we better be listening and engaging the conversation. “Markets are conversations”
