The days of having only a website online are over. Social Media Marketing / Management is here to stay. With the introduction of sites such as Facebook and Twitter, everything has changed. An active community of Facebook and Twitter users can make or break your business with their smart phones. Your customers can post positive or negative reviews on sites such as Four Square within minutes of completing a transaction. Your reputation is now very public and can and can be built up or torn apart without you ever knowing what happened. Social Media Management can help your company monitor and participate in the creation of your online reputation.

In December 2006, there was not a single Facebook user. By the end of 2012 it is projected that there will be one billion Facebook users. That is billion with a “b”. The potential impact of marketing through Facebook is staggering. Large companies recognize the power of social media marketing, which also includes sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, YouTube and many others. For example, Pepsi Cola chose in 2010 to not advertise during the Super Bowl for the first time in 23 years, opting instead to pour their money into social media. Social media marketing / management including text messages and blogging has become an integral part of all aspects of marketing including Presidential elections.
