The changing face of marketing goods and services using every available opportunity has opened the new media into the fold of businesses. The new media, mainly social network is very widely used across boarders mostly by the young people. Several of the companies that have brought up products to meet the increasing demands of this group of people must focus on how to make best use of the medium.
The regular updates and exchange of news, ideas in social medium like Twitter and Facebook generate lot of curiosity and anxiety among the people. This will have a large fan following who like to share their ideas on how to improve things, discuss in detail the good and bad of the products. In a way, the forum lists all the points that a major supplier of goods and services would like to have in a changing market. The information not only provides vital clues on the changing requirements of the people, but serves as platform to disseminate information much faster than any other medium.
To take a product into the right marketing place through social network sites is a challenge and also it provides an opportunity to the businesses. The medium offers a level-playing field to the manufacturers of innovative products where they can come out with the features and explain in a better way the utility of the product. This way, they can gain insights into the marketing dynamics and the requirements of the users. If the product is having latest features, then using social network will provide buzz on the product and this can be used as a platform to increase the sales.
The marketing strategies adopted through traditional media like newspapers, television, events and road shows have all a pattern to address the customers and sell the products. However, this is not the case with the social media marketing. Here, it works more like a closed group wherein connectivity among the group members play a key role on disseminating information related to the product or service. Once the right connectivity is made among the group members, then to reach out to the customers becomes all the more simple with sales forming a part of it.
The discussion surrounding the product or service of any business will have an impact on the growth of the businesses. The right use of social marketing turns out to be very positive as the marketing generates lot of interest and goodwill among the users of social network sites. On the flip side, the product suffers from any expectation in terms of quality or delivery, and then it equally damages the reputation of the business. With regular updates on the products and services, a large section of followers with the desired information form a ready market for the products. This will become a cost-effective solution in marketing the products and services for businesses.
