Social Media Impact Mohamed A. Salam

Impact of social media on marketing

As marketers are always interested to grab the attention of the consumer. People have embraced new media and technologies to such an extent like smart phone etc. has given marketers the opportunity to reach consumers in a 24/7 capacity through a variety of mediums. It enhances the chances of messaging being seen. Therefore it is obvious to allure the marketers towards social media. Traditional campaigning approaches are overshadowed not only by rising social media but also due to increasing difficulty to create an outstanding campaign due to very competitive market.

The problem lies with the change in the consumer's mindset. Social media has led to a culture of active engagement, immediate access to anyone and for anything and constant communication. This is of course something that the traditional advertisement and other marketing methods could not ever achieve. Whereas social media like Face book page, Twitter and You Tube et

Social Media Impact

Criticism of social media

As the social media has grown in popularity, multiple concerns have emerged regarding technology. If comments and tweets are posted in haste, it can lead to some marketing disasters that can damage both the client and their agencies reputation. The moment consumer finds a brand's social networking activity intrusive or annoying then consumer is lost. There are many instances where brands try to abuse the system thorough fake comments. Since marketers are directly dealing with the public can not lurk behind the scene but have to become more accountable for the brand. Other concerns of social media are social media stalkers, child predators and privacy concerns

In spite of potential drawbacks of social media, popularity of social media is overtaking traditional forms of marketing. If compare TV commercials with online virals promoted through social media, TV commercials can cost millions; are poorly targeted and do not enable data capture where as cost on social media is almost nothing. That is why social media become popular among marketers.

Ways for Building Brands Trust Through Social Media

Using social media for business marketing has been a hot topic for years now, but brands are still trying to harness the power of the digital socialsphere to discover the best ways to directly impact their bottom lines.

As social media use advances, so does the frequency in which brands are reaching out to their audiences to engage them through these channels.

One tactic that might be lost in all of this is the importance of using social media channels to build trust with your current and potential brand advocates.

1- Communicating Thought Leadership

One way for a brand to lose credibility with a social audience is to simply spam them with “opportunities” to purchase a product or service without providing any value, This value can come in many forms, but should be designed to teach, entertain, ignite discussions, and gain honest feedback.

Social media is the perfect platform for a brand to communicate their expertise in a given industry, and do so by providing great content that people will share with others. This is how companies can become thought leaders in their space

Ways Brands Build Trust Through Social Media

2- Transparency This is an area that executives and decision makers have feared the most but a hurdle that must be overcome for a company to be successful using social media.

In today’s digital world, transparency is an inherent reality, as people will be talking about issues associated with your brand online.

Companies need to embrace this and get involved in guiding that conversation. In a report from eMarketer, 77% of buyers said they are more likely to buy from a company if the CEO uses social media, and 82% trust the company more.

This is impressive, and telling of how consumers want to engage with brands and top-level executives.


3 -Quick & Responsive Customer Communication

If consumers know they can reach out to your company via social media and are encouraged to do so, this is a good opportunity to provide great service in front of a large audience. Don’t be afraid of customer complaints. Address them head on. These opportunities can often turn into great testimonials when customers are handled with care


4- Ensures Accountability:

When companies are openly engaged in social media and encouraging their audience to interact with them, it ensures a certain level of accountability. In using social media aggressively, a brand can essentially hold itself accountable for providing great products, services, and customer service. They can’t afford not to! But isn’t that the goal anyway?


5- Fun & Simple Engagement:

Another way to build and maintain trust is through entertainment. Don’t always make it about your company and its services or value. This goes back to thought leadership and content marketing. Provide value in a fun and creative way through daily content, apps, videos, contests, sweepstakes, and infographics. The opportunities are endless.


6- Social Responsibility : A great way to build trust with your customers is to let them know that you care about others more than just yourself. The same goes for building brand equity. Socially responsible brands often gain more momentum because their customers know they aren’t just about profits, but also giving back to their communities or the world around them.

Social media channels are the perfect platform to ommunicate this message and let it spread organically.

For example, Marriott is running a check-in campaign that encourages guests to check-in, and the hotel will donate $2 to charity. This promotion is intended to leverage a typical social interaction for the greater good.


Case Study Mohamed A. Dayem

The rising interest in social networking sites as viable vehicles for marketing is also reflected in the money being spent to advertise in social networks. According to E-Marketer spending on advertisements on social networking sites has increased from $ 1.40 billion in 2009 to a projected $ 3 billion in 2011, a nearly 50% increase4.

Ford Case Study

One of the earliest and most successful social media campaign, called the Fiesta Movement, was launched by Ford in April 2009 to promote its Fiesta model. In an innovative strategy, the company selected 100 top bloggers and gave each of them a Fiesta to use for the next six months.
