What is Social Media Marketing?

Social Media has exploded as a method of self expression and a way of staying in touch, or sharing your life with friends and contacts. But more than this Social Media allows users to communicate with far more reach to individuals with similar interests, and trade opinions on almost any topic.

When we consider the old adage that ‘word of mouth’ is the best form of marketing – any business would be foolish to shrug off social media as irrelevant or ineffective, as for many, reading reviews and researching other people’s experiences this is an integral part of the decision making process.
Recent studies show that with a population of 24.4 million in Australia, 17 million of them are registered FaceBook users. This is a staggering 70% of Australians.

When we also consider:

  • 8 million registered Australians on LinkedIn
  • 3 million Australians on Twitter use it monthly
  • 1 in 6 Australians use Snapchat daily

We can understand that Australians have access to larger social networks than ever before – and they are prepared to share experiences of brands and your company with others.

Particularly for B2C businesses, the customer reach vs spend is excellent for Social Media Marketing, but there are further benefits through the amount of demographic information available online.

Information such as:

  • Age and Gender
  • Family and Status
  • Geographic location
  • Previous buying habits
  • Future buying habits through search history
  • Topics of Interests and beliefs

Can be excellent in ensuring your message is reaching a very specific target market, and if necessary ONLY that market.
