Social Media Marketing

What is social media marketing and why is it important for your company? 

Social media is taking advantage of Internet based tools and using words, pictures, video and audio to connect and share information with other humans who share your interests.  How does this affect you and your business?

There are over 80 million Internet users in the workplace and in a recent a survey of consumer digital media and entertainment habits by IBM they found that 19% of consumer responders spend 6 or more hours on the Internet for personal use per week.  Other sources say that 88% of companies taking advantage of social media marketing plan to expand their budgets.  It is an opportunity for the smaller business to jump ahead and offers more affordable, traceable results than traditional mass media marketing.
