What is Social media marketing? it is a recent addition to organizations’ integrated marketing communications plans. Integrated marketing communications is a practice organizations follow to connect with their target markets. Integrated marketing communications coordinates promotional elements: advertising, personal selling, public relations, publicity, direct marketing and sales promotion.  Increasingly, viral marketing campaigns are also grouped into integrated marketing communications. In the traditional marketing communications model, the content, frequency, timing, and medium of communications by the organization is in collaboration with an external agent, i.e. advertising agencies, marketing research firms and public relations firms.  However, the growth of social media has impacted the way organizations communicate. With the emergence of Web 2.0, the internet provides a set of tools that allow people to build social and business connections, share information and collaborate on projects online

Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it is coming from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.

Social media has become a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns. With emergence of channels like Twitter, the barrier to entry in social media is greatly reduced. (Courtesy:  wikipedia)

The fact is that our websites reside in the social space of the web – and all the rules of civics applies to our website too. It is imperative that our website is perceived as a contributor of some value for the web citizens. Social media marketing is an umbrella term for all activities which enhance the popularity and interaction of your site with other sites and within the various social networks in the web space.

Social media can relate to any type of media which is user generated and it is consumed and distributed by the users in turn. Some popular social media tools are - RSS feeds, Bookmarking, Blogging, Video sharing, Photo sharing, article contribution, press release etc..

What do we get out of Social Media Platforms?

Social Media platforms like FaceBook, MySpace, LinkedIn, EONs, Twitter, Digg, and others,  provide your business with a launching pad to start a conversation within a group or community of potential customers. Thus, the key to social media marketing is the conversation which is initiated within the members of the social network. These self sustaining conversations become a catalyst for viral marketing, hence, "SpreadableIdeas".

Our company reflects the essence of the new web environment which is made up of more than static sites or one way communications on bulletin boards, it is an interaction between communities, people, groups, companies and to a certain extent the web sites themselves.  Helping our clients navigate through the 1,000's of social media spaces is what we do best.

The pundits of web strategy have coined another term for websites which are highly optimized from a social angle, Social Media Optimization (SMO). Well, SMO is the process behind a good Social media marketing strategy. This can include any of the following..

• Bookmarking of the most compelling contents of your website
• Automatic feeds of your blog to your social network.
• Automatic feeds of your blog posts to twitter.
• Extremely interesting viral videos for YouTube and other Video sharing sites
• Submitting eye-catching slides on Slide Share
• Exchanging Blog links for Blog Rolls

We consider the social media environement to be like a puzzle with literally 100's and even 1,000's of pieces.  SpreadableIdeas will help you build this puzzle and insure that every piece fits correctly. Although technology is available to establish all these interlocking pieces, the initial connections require an old fashion manual process.

In many cases you may already have established a FaceBook account or a Twitter account, the question you must now ask "Is it working for me or am I just using it for entertainment".  We will look at your existing social network accounts and show you how you can easily convert these into new online billboards for your business.  We look at new communities which compliment your business and create profiles that mirror your companies image, products and services.

With close to 200 million people on Twitter, 600 million on Facebook and 100 million on LinkedIn, it isn’t hard to find large groups with heartbeats. Thinning the herd, however, and finding the likely buyers of your company’s product isn’t nearly as easy. This is the challenge in social media marketing: you need to cut through the vastness and somehow locate – and engage with – your target market. The effort must begin before you even push out your first tweet or status update, in fact. Take a look at the demographics of the major social media platform to see if the right people are even there.

I came across this list of four interesting statistics on social media users by platform at OpenView Labs, the social media environment for venture capital firm OpenView Venture Partners. This isn’t enough to help you make savvy marketing decisions around social media platform choice, but it should help you get started.

1. Look for the ladies on …

If you want to engage with women, your best bet is – believe it or not – MySpace. Twitter and Facebook, according to the OpenView Labs post, “don’t have large gender skews”. MySpace, meanwhile, has plenty of women – 64 percent of the user base, in fact.

2. Find deep pockets on …

Twitter. Well, you’ll find them on Facebook, too. Twenty-seven percent of Twitter users pull down more than $75,000 a year, with 23 percent of Facebook users crossing that threshold. MySpace is for the less affluent: 63 percent of the site’s users make less than $50,000 a year.

3. The early-bird special is on …

A substantial 37 percent of Facebook users are age 45 or older, compared to 28 percent for Twitter and 24 percent for MySpace. So, it seems safe to bet that a larger percentage of Facebook users watch golf and have dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon.

4. College grads congregate on …

An education doesn’t mean you have to speak in long sentences, I guess. With 37 percent of its users holding at least a bachelor’s degree, Twitter’s user base is the most educated.

So, how does this help you out? Well, it’s nice to have a sense of whether your target market is even available on a particular social media platform before you invest you time and capital in it. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Instead of pulling the trigger before thinking, spend some serious time monitoring different social media platforms and doing extensive research before deciding where to commit your company’s marketing cash and capabilities.

These are numbers to get you started, but you still have a lot more work to do. Remember: social media is no different from any other form of marketing. You need to think, plan and do it right. Otherwise, you might find yourself pushing your company’s products on Friendster … a move that isn’t exactly value-accretive, right?
