What Does the Term “Social Media” Mean Exactly??
![Page 3: Chamber Quarterly Luncheon Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/554db777b4c905bd488b45e2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In Plain English….
![Page 4: Chamber Quarterly Luncheon Final](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/554db777b4c905bd488b45e2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Keep it in Perspective – when compared to Traditional Media
“Traditional” Media
“Traditional Media” is a one way instrument of
communication
Content is
Educational
Informative
Entertaining
Advertisers “place” their message around
the type and style of content their target
consumer is most likely to be frequenting
Limited opportunity for consumers to “react”
immediately and directly to the content.

“Social Media”
Also an instrument of communication.
A means to develop a relationship.
A two-way street that validates the customer
relationship and builds loyalty!
It’s another way to build the relationship….
Improve WOM, increase customer service and
encourage repeat customers
Give your audience an opportunity to be involved in content creation, along
side your brand –.
Keep YOUR content Educational, Informative
Entertaining!!
“Social” Media
Another way to communicate – and so much more!

Wait!!... Do not abandon your traditional media!!
People still watch TV
People still listen to the radio
People can respond to a billboard or OOH advertising
People still get print magazines
People still respond to in-store POS displays
And yes… people still read the local paper
It’s still about finding the right “mix” for reaching your TARGET and accomplishing a MARKETING OBJECTIVE!
Use the traditional as a means to raise awareness for your social activity
Think Integration!

Facebook currently has more than 400 million active users
100 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices
The answer is a resounding, YES!!

BROADCASTING JUNK!!
