Why you should be getting with the social media marketing trend
JodiIf you haven’t cottoned on to the new social media marketing craze then you should be worried. Many businesses are now at it and sites such as Facebook and Twitter offer the ideal place to promote your business and various deals. If you don’t then you’ll get left behind by your competitors.
One thing to note, however, is that Facebook still has seven to eight times more visitors than Twitter so perhaps that’s where you should start.
Still, Twitter is growing fast so there is value in getting not the tweeting groove. Just make sure you stick with the rules:
•   Make sure there’s a hook – a reason to listen to you
•   Offer a benefit – why people should act
•   Be clear, concise and to the point
•   Keep below 140 characters (120-130 characters is best)
•   Use a shortened URL
•   Include a request for a re-Tweet (Plz RT)
Go on, join the social media marketing trend – and then tell us how you get on. Or don’t. (Maybe you’ll want to keep your social media marketing techniques to yourself!)
