SOME STATISTICS ON SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE 1. Sites such as Linked In, MySpace and Facebook are changing from public profiles to platforms for communication, creativity, advertising, and even commerce. 2. In 2007, roughly 37% of the US adult population used online social networking at least once a month and this figure is expected to reach 50% by 2011. 3. Global online social network advertisement budget is growing by a factor of two from 2007 will grow 82% from 2007 to date. 4. There are more than 80 million active users on Facebook.com 5. Facebook is the 2nd most-trafficked social media site in the world (comScore) 6. A Forester study in Jan 2007 shows that Facebook and other equivalent social networks inspire trust.

THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OPPORTUNITY Conversations & Relationships Social Media Optimization (SMO) Google Search is the new front page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) The Social Network Manager doing the job of the Public Relations Officer.
THE EMERGING CULTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING SMM operates in an environment of complete transparency and veracity SMM operates in a gift economy where knowledge is shared free of charge as it is only in sharing that information gains in value. SMM is a relationship rather than a campaign when we speak of traditional marketing SMM operates in a sphere which is customer or viewer controlled Finally, SMM makes a bigger leap when online interaction also occurs offline – this leads to referrals and subsequently positive impacts on sales of products marketed online and/or sold offline. Marketing must acknowledge the power today lies in the hands of consumers
CONCLUSION The most difficult aspect of Social Media Marketing according to me remains the fact that marketers must prepare themselves to face and manage negative feedback while undertaking open dialogues with their customers on a social network. The qualities of marketers and Social Network Managers
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING I look forward to have your comments and see you on Facebook Thank You!
