Social media describes websites that allow users to share content, media, etc. Common examples are the popularsocial networking sites like Friendster, Facebook, MySpace, etc. Social media also includes YouTube,Photobucket, Flickr, and other sites aimed at photo and video sharing. News aggregation and online referencesources, examples of which are Digg and Wikipedia, are also counted in the social media bucket. Micro-blogging sites such as twitter can also be included as social media.
With the help of social media it is easy to share your ideas, photos, videos, likes and dislikes, with the world atlarge - and find out what they think of them.

Role of social media in marketing:
Social media is now increasingly becoming an ingrained aspect of political campaigns, national defence
strategies, public policy, public relations, brand management and even intra company communication. Since the
major task of marketing as tool used to inform consumers about the companys products, who they are and what
they offer, social marketing plays an important role in marketing.
Social media can be used to provide an identity about the companies and the products or services thatthey offer.
Social media helps in creating relationships with people who might not otherwise know about theproducts or service or what the companies represent.
Social media makes companies "real" to consumers. If they want people to follow them they need notjust talk about the latest product news, but share their personality with them.
Social media can be used to associate themselves with their peers that may be serving the same targetmarket.
Social media can be used to communicate and provide the interaction that consumers look for.Social Media Marketing Strategies:
Most of the online retailers though appreciate its positives fallouts on the brand awareness and promotion; they
are still in the early stages of adoption. For an organization willing to invest in social media marketing, it is
important to understand why SMM is an important marketing strategy and how it can help:
This is the age of consumer satisfaction. It is not about selling it is more about interacting. There is alot to learn from the customers. Using social media one can identify customers, listen to their feedback
and use them to improve and innovate on products or services.
SMM is not a mass advertising strategy. It can be used to identify peer groups and advertise to thatparticular group. Social Media can help in identifying influencers and through them one can guide a
prospective customer into making a purchase.
SMM calls for novel advertising methods as the attention span of online junta is very low. This islargely due to the multitasking phenomena. A person watching a video clip on YouTube might be
simultaneously updating a blog, while reading another one and watching friends photographs on
Facebook. In order to garner their attention away from distractions the advertisement must be
innovative and interesting to hold the imagination and attention of the prospect.
At the same time the message must also provoke the recipient into action; like seeking a detaileddescription of the product/service, or suggesting to a friend, or initiating purchase. So, if the
advertisement is trying to sell something then it should be conveniently placed with links so that the
prospect can make a purchase with least effort.
Similarly Social Media can be used to increase customer loyalty through customer support services andhence improve customer retention.
Social Media Marketing can also be used by brands to ward off any negative publicity. But the brandswill have to be cautious here as over doing it may further aggravate their customers / stakeholders.
D. CRITERIA FOR SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING BY SOCIAL MEDIA

II. It has to be creative: In order to attract attention, companies need to deliver their message in imaginativeways that have never been done before.

United States.
Target markets: Its easy to target markets and achieve maximum results rather than the traditionalshot in the dark marketing.
Natural traffic: If people like something, theyll not only visit it but share it, which increases traffic.Additionally, people often visit specific sites or topics in which they are interested thus improving the
quality of traffic. More time is being spent on the internet, on both computers and phones: Online shopping for
example has taken huge gouges out of traditional shopping means such as malls. Who would rather
wait in lines during the holiday season than order from home?
Better search engine results: The more references search engines pick up to sites the higher they areon result pages. Thus the more social media networks that are linked together provide better search
results than without.
It complements other efforts:Social media doesnt eliminate needs for other marketing efforts butrather augments them. For instance, if a company lists their fan page or Twitter account on their
billboards or website interested customers can stay updated easier and more frequently.
Information & sharing is immediate: As soon as someone sends out a tweet, status update or blogpost their entire network can see it instantaneously. This eliminates the traditional wait period of
mailings, commercials, and even emails.
It has viral potential: People tend to have their guard down more often when they are on their socialmedia networks and thus it is easier for marketers to get their message through and share it to the
masses. The next generation is the technology generation: There have been more technology advances in the
past 10 years than in the previous 50 years. Technology is increasing at a doubling ratedouble a

together information into a single location, or helps a user consolidate multiple social networking
profiles into one profile. Various aggregation services provide tools or widgets to allow users to
consolidate messages, track friends, combine bookmarks, search across multiple social networking
sites, read RSS feeds for multiple social networks, see when their name is mentioned on various sites,
access their profiles from a single interface, provide "lifestreams", etc.
2. Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to organize, store, manage and searchfor bookmarks of resources online. Descriptions may be added to these bookmarks in the formofmetadata, so users may understand the content of the resource without first needing to download itfor themselves. Such descriptions may be free text comments, votes in favour of or against its quality,or tags that collectively or collaboratively become a folksonomy. In a social bookmarking system,users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usuallypublic, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only insidecertain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people canusually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.

Cost Per Action or CPA (sometimes known as Pay Per Action or PPA) is an online advertising pricingmodel, where the advertiser pays for each specified action (a purchase, a form submission, and so on)linked to the advertisement.
CPA is sometimes referred to as "Cost Per Acquisition", which has to do with the fact that most CPA
offers by advertisers are about acquiring something (typically new customers by making sales). Using
the term "Cost Per Acquisition" instead of "Cost Per Action" is not incorrect in such cases, but not all"Cost Per Action" offers can be referred to as "Cost Per Acquisition".
Calculate the CPA. The CPA is: ad spend/[number of impressions x CTR x CR]. Let's say that out of
20,000 impressions, you had a 5 percent click-through (CTR) to your landing (destination page) and 30
percent of those 5 percent convert to paying customers. The calculation is: $200/[20,000 x .05 x .30] =
$0.67. That is, the cost per acquisition is $0.67.
