Yes, I’m going to write, once again, about social networking. I am a convert. At the beginning, I would rather have gone to the dentist and had every single tooth pulled with no anesthesia. The thought of creating a MySpace or Facebook page or even … GASP, using Twitter was out of the question. I thought it would just be one more thing to keep up with and would be a waste of my time. Oh contraire!
Because of Facebook, I have been introduced to and corresponded with new clients that otherwise, I may not have been able to meet. With Twitter and my other social networking pages, I have found another medium for updating clients and keeping our name in front of them as well as potential clients. Since using these sites, I have been more in touch with my clients than ever, strengthening my customer relations.
Using social networking the right way will not only strengthen your relationships, but also create new ones. Best part, it does it all for free! Even if it takes you 500 tweets before you get your first client, since it was free, the return on investment is 100%.

Are you social? Most people would probably answer “yes.” But, are you really? In today’s world to be social doesn’t just mean you say “hello” to people as you pass them on the street or go to every party to which you are invited. Today, being social means being social on the Internet, too, and it is almost as important as face-to-face. Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Plaxo are some of the most popular sites and can be used as great marketing tools.
Everyone knows how important word of mouth is to your business, social networking sites are a great way to increase your word of mouth. These sites basically make it easier to connect with people. Clients have a way to access you, read what you have to say and give you feedback. Most sites can be easily accessed from anywhere, your computer, cell phone, BlackBerry, etc. Someone can read your page, give you feedback and by giving you feedback, spread the word to everyone in their network…virtual word of mouth.
Social networking is a no-cost way to advertise. If you need help setting up all of your social networking accounts and synchronizing them so they are easy to manage, give us a call, 540-295-5139 or drop us an e-mail, info@cwimedia.com, we would be happy to help!
