Social Media Marketing
Have you ever wondered whether you should be on Facebook? Start Tweeting? Get LinkedIn? These web-based services, and others like AVVO, are all part of social media marketing. The question we have to address is, should you have a presence on these sites, if not, are you missing out on marketing opportunities? This recording focuses on social media marketing and whether it can help you grow your practice.
What is Social Media Marketing? Social media marketing is the equivalent of good old relationship-based marketing, with one big difference – the interactions occur on-line rather than face-to-face. Think of developing your on-line presence in the same way you develop personal relationships with your referral sources and influencers. Be genuine. Be trustworthy. Give more than you take. Be a “connector” – introduce colleagues who have mutual interests or who can assist each other. Be professional, but friendly. If you follow these simple guidelines as you grow your on-line presence, you’ll not only grow your practice, you just might have some fun in the process.
