The growth of Social Media

Social media has quickly become a staple of most Internet users' online experience, which makes it an ideal tool for businesses looking to connect with their customers in a more personal and targeted way. The rise of social media use throughout Asia makes it a very important outlet for marketing your message.

Throughout Singapore there has been a dramatic upsurge in social media usage, as a result of the extensive broadband coverage and pioneering attitude to new technology. Despite the relatively small population, Singapore is the 4th most active country on Twitter in Asia (Sysomos), and one in five of the population has a Facebook account, according to Facebook's own statistics.

The key aims of social media marketing include:

• Reinforcing your brand and providing both prospective and returning customers with a positive experience when they encounter your company in a social media context.
• Attracting inbound links back to your site to boost search rankings.
• Generating increased traffic flow to the main site and converting the curious into customers.
• Working in tandem with the rest of your search marketing strategies to boost the overall visibility of your business online.

The power of social media marketing

There are many social media tools that can be used to socialize your message, including blogging, micro-blogging (on sites such as Twitter), social networking, video sharing and wikis. Each of these channels adds something different to the marketing mix, and choosing which methods to utilize depends very much on the nature of your company.

Twitter marketing can be hugely successful for some businesses, while others may be better suited to the more business-orientated LinkedIn network, and others still will benefit more from exposure in the less formal, more social environment of Facebook.

Social media monitoring is also important in order to analyze the way in which your company is being talked about online and help you manage your reputation online. Taking a pro-active stance towards social media means that you control the way in which your company is perceived and can set your own agenda.

With a social media optimization campaign from MediaCo your business will gain valuable online exposure and increased traffic, often for a fraction of what you would spend on other promotional media.
