Are You Ready to Get “Real” About Social Media?

How Real Leads are Possible from the Virtual World

The role social media can play in an effective marketing program is still confusing to some, because the connections to friends or followers happen in the “virtual world.”  So let’s get real about Social Media Marketing (SMM)!

Think about it like this:  When networking at conferences and parties in the “real world,” you connect with people (and/or potential clients) who can serve your personal (and/or business) needs.  But how do you maintain these connections, let alone make them stronger? 

It used to be that you would get a business card, maybe follow up with an e-mail or phone call, but more than likely, due to time constraints, you wouldn't speak to that person (potential lead) again until the next time you saw them at a conference or party. 

However, you can now create and nurture these connections with consistent meaningful communication, while never having to leave your office or home. 

The exact same “real world” networking principles used at conferences, parties and the like, also apply online with social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn.  Even better, Social Media Marketing gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts (and business message) with these connections at any time and usually right to their smartphone.
