B2B Social Marketing on the Rise

By admin on Monday, September 6th, 2010 | No Comments

“In America, you have the watches but no time. In Nairobi, we have the time but no watches.”

That’s a familiar quote I heard recently from “Evans,” an international student from Kenya who is currently enrolled at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He got me thinking about the economics of marketing in the U.S., and how the proliferation of social networks has influenced media consumption and business user engagement. Although it is rarely thought of in this context, the rise of social marketing is rooted in basic economic principles. When the price is “zero,” the laws of supply and demand often are ignored, but they still are relevant. Don’t forget another familiar quote: “There is no free lunch!”

Back to Basics—The Economics of ‘Free’

Remember those undergraduate days, waking up from an afternoon nap seated in a lecture hall, dazed and confused by a myriad of supply and demand curves compounded by explanations of elasticity and marginal utility? Well, all that stuff is still the foundation for business behavior today and will continue to be the underlying principles of the free market economy. While there may have been hype about the “chocolate rainmaker” (YouTube celebrity) and “twitters being quitters” (retention rate concerns), the basic economic principles remain essential to understanding current social marketing trends in business today. A couple of modifications to traditional variables can help explain the logic supporting the rise of marketing “freeconomics.” Here’s how it works in a free market.

Traditional laws of supply and demand state that increased prices are the result of decreased supply and/or increased demand; the inverse also is true. For example, with all other factors remaining constant, you can generally expect to negotiate lower mailing list prices when there is a greater supply of lists on the market and/or a decrease in the demand for list rental. This macroeconomic principle is based on perfect competition, so don’t jump the gun and expect to negotiate a 50-percent net-name arrangement on a highly targeted, niche response list of 5,000 names.

Putting the traditional list industry model aside, how does macroeconomic theory relate to social marketing when the price of those services is “zero”? First remember, there is no free lunch. The variable for price simply needs to be replaced with the opportunity cost of time, which in itself can have a wide range depending on who is most engaged in the process. Within the macroeconomic context of “price,” the opportunity cost of time generally will be lower as the supply of time is increased due to factors like unemployment or idle capacity. This makes the relative labor “price” more attractive and increases the demand for services that enable businesses to leverage those resources; it goes without mentioning that there are a lot of independent consultants out there trying to rule the blogosphere.

Explicitly stated, the economic downturn resulted in an increase in the supply of labor and a decrease in the average marketing budget. Therefore, companies and individuals are challenged once again with delivering more for less. Social networks, bookmarking services, free business listings and affiliate programs become more attractive when we have fewer “watches” and more time. The suppliers of these services, mostly in the form of online application service providers, benefit from the free labor and leverage the resulting assets (content) as a platform for contextually targeted advertising solutions and other innovative message delivery systems used to stimulate demand and add revenue.

Furthermore, the implications for search engine optimization (SEO) expand the value proposition to include getting noticed from higher positions on search engine results pages (SERPs). Bookmarking services provide external links that may be scored by search algorithms to increase a particular Web site’s ranking by Google and other major search engines. This is a key benefit to marketing professionals who have embraced the digital revolution, but it’s still not that easy to measure the ROI. Despite any claims that search rankings can be mastered by prioritizing domains for placing external links, an effective long-term strategy must recognize that SEO is a moving target-especially as personalized SERPs continue to evolve and take root. If that doesn’t leave you feeling out of control, then add in the fact that there are hundreds of social marketing sites, which are not all created equal.

This brings you back to the basics of direct marketing and defining your target market. The following social media summary will help you filter what makes the most sense for your business. Keep in mind that the targeted groups within a social network (e.g., LinkedIn) may be just as important the network(s) you choose.

Take a targeted approach to social media.

Would a gun safety instructor hand you a blindfold and take you to the Bronx Zoo? Of course not, but why are we so cavalier about social marketing just because it is free? Again, there is no free lunch, so evaluate the opportunity cost of your time and do not target the wrong audience or there could be negative implications to your brand. There’s nothing wrong with a shotgun approach when shooting skeet (moving targets like search algorithms), and the same is true for connecting with your target market. Here’s a list of resources you may use to reach your market with social media. It’s never too late to get started.

Here are three tips to help you with choosing the right services for your business.

Tip 1: Since PageRank is important to your exposure on the Google search engine results page (SERP), you may want to check out the page rank for each of these services as well. That can be done for free online by using the PageRank Checker (higher = better).

Tip 2: adding your blog to the directories can improve your search rankings and exposure; the same is true for your web site and your business. That’s the reason for including 35 directory listings (25 free directory listings + 10 blog directories) in the top 100. You only need to do it once, so take advantage of them.

Tip 3: be careful which URL shortening service you use, as it may affect your future search rankings. Not all URL shorteners are created equal, and there are a surprising number of issues to consider when choosing one of these services. You certainly could roll your own to have full control, but there are plenty of good commercial solutions available for free. Just be careful to avoid those services that point to their Web site with your site in their wrapper, as they rob your site of the fuel from external links, devalue your analytics and generally undermine your business. A best practice is to choose a service that uses a 301 redirect, indicating that the short URL referring link be moved to the long URL as the permanent address for your Web site. In contrast, a 302 redirect tells the search engine that your destination is temporary, and the service provider can subsequently take credit (SEO results) for the link—that’s bad.

The Four Key Components to any Successful Social Marketing Platform

By admin on Sunday, September 5th, 2010 | No Comments

A two way conversation with potential customers or “engagement” is the buzzword in the social networking circles these days. If this is the truth, what could be the building blocks that facilitate such conversations? A company that has a web presence via a website or pay per click advertisements may not really make an impact because people today are more information savvy, are more empowered and smatter than ever before. To reach these clients takes more than a couple of paid advertisements, one needs to have informative and responsive communication tools since it involves more than one and off solution. There is no comprehensive approach that utilizes modern web strategies like social marketing, the promotion of products and business through social networks. Here are a few forms of social marketing strategies a company may make use of:

Blogging – a company blog will help accomplish a number of goals in creating a successful social marketing strategy. The most important thing is that the blog will be a way to provide fresh, relevant information to the audience and allow them to react to it in order to draw a way forward and evaluate the move. Real Simple Syndication (RSS) has made it very easy for people to subscribe to blogs and have their favorite blogs appear on their blog readers or mobile devices. A company blog will help build a community of loyal followers but the topics in discussion must be of casual nature, should be informative and must have tips and hints on the industry.

Social networks – Tapping into the power of personal networks and creating a company profiles on the leading social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter can help a company attract visitors to their static pages. This is largely because the pages are more interactive, current, social in nature and always updated, What is more, it is even possible to use plugins to configure blog and forum feeds automatically to each a wide client base with one move. In a nutshell, this is the best and most profitable social marketing channel and most companies are now establishing their presence on these pages.

Article marketing – Information is power and everyone knows that. This is why most people will often turn to article directories to find information they seek. Article social marketing involves coming up with informative newsletter- type articles to be distributed free to online editors. This is a perfect opportunity for a company to build relevant, professional inbound links to their web pages. Customers will often feel the benefit of getting the informative articles and they will appreciate and even follow the links to your site as a way to show trust on the advice given.

What is Social Marketing?

By admin on Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | No Comments

Social marketing is a new form of advertising that is just starting to become popular. Often social marketing is a favorite of small businesses because it is virtually free although in order to use it to drive traffic to a website the company still needs to use traditional search engine marketing and search engine optimization techniques. It is build around the idea of link strategies and using personal networking to drive website traffic.

Before the widespread use of social networking sites social marketing really wasn’t a viable option for most mainstream businesses but now the popularity of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook has made social networking and social marketing very popular. Link strategies that are often used in social marketing involve creating free accounts on these popular social networking sites and then using search engine marketing techniques to increase traffic and network with others who interested in the same topics or with customers. Using search engine optimization to create search engine marketing content on your social networking profile pages can help get your profile listed in search engine results pages and you can use search engine marketing articles to help gain readers and friends across the net.

This type of marketing isn’t just limited to using sites like MySpace and Facebook. You can use search engine marketing and search engine optimization to socially market your blog as well. Many companies these days prefer having blogs to having traditional websites because blogs are much more accessible to people and make people feel like they have a personal connection with the company. Blogging is hugely popular.

Many popular blog sites are free so you can set up a free blog to be the front page of your web page and you can put links throughout the blog that lead to other pages on your web page so that your readers can find your other search engine marketing articles and information or buy your products. The best link strategies for blogs involve taking the time to form alliances with other bloggers. Blogging networks have huge followings and many times if you join a blog network or go to the blogs of people who share your interest or sell complementary products you can leave comments on that person’s blog that link back to your own site.

Even though that type of advertising can be a little time consuming it’s a great way to use search engine marketing to reach your target audience for free. Blogging communities also usually link to one another’s blogs which means that you can use your networking contacts to help you publicize your website. Social marketing can be tricky though because it’s more than just using search engine marketing, link strategies and SEO.

There are a lot of social networking etiquette rules that need to be observed and if you don’t follow protocol you could be ostracized. When you’re using social networking you should never just post links to your website on other people’s blogs, that’s considered spamming. Take the time to read other blogs and leave relevant comments. Usually then you will be allowed to post a link to your own website.

Social Marketing Vs Search Engine Marketing

By admin on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

There are several ways of increasing the traffic to your website. We’ll discuss only social marketing, which is getting popular, and search engine marketing.

Social Marketing

Social Communities

These sites allow you to insert your profile for other members to see. Most of these sites allow you to insert your blog or website. You get traffic from these sites by participating in discussions and interacting with members. It’s mostly about getting friendly and getting noticed.

If you get popular with these sites, you may get a lot of traffic and some search engine popularity through blogroll exchanges and link loves.

Social Bookmarking

These sites allow you to bookmark your favorite web pages, not just your own. However, bookmarking only your webpages can decrease your rank so you need to bookmark other web pages too.

You get traffic when others sees your bookmark and clicks on the link. Since your link are there, it may also gain some search engine popularity.

The Cons for Social Sites

Huge traffic comes if you actively participate in these sites. That would become too tedious in the long run. If your participation wanes, so is your traffic. One other thing, members of these sites also have a website to promote, so their interest to your website would not be so much.

Search Engine Marketing

Traffic which comes from search engines are people who are looking for information in the internet. When they find your site from the search results and click on the link, they are most probably interested on the subject. In all likelihood, they may be interested to what you are promoting.

To get your pages included in the search engine’s results page, your pages need to be popular for them. Popularity means having many websites are linking to your site.

Several ways are available for you to get links. Submitting your site to link directories, buying links(not recommended), engaging in link exchanges with other websites etc.

Getting links from other sites is not enough, you need to get your links to sites which are related to your website. To the search engines, the link with a related subject must be important as it pertains to the content of the website.

The anchor text is also very important when other sites link to you. So when you are submitting to link directories or whatever, you need to place your keyword as the anchor text.

One very good way of acquiring links is to submit articles to article directories. You get to insert your website’s url with an anchor text of your choice. Many webmasters search article directories to find content for their website so your article can be published to other websites together with your link.

Submit articles often and in no time, you’ll get enough traffic from search engines. For sure traffic from search engines are people who are interested in what they are searching for which could be profitable for you.
