Social media marketing services through Facebook and Twitter have dramatically changed the business industry for marketing campaigns. A good example of this is marketing expenses. In 2008, companies spent more than $450 million in social media campaigns, but in 2012, businesses have spent more than $1.5 billion. It is expected that this will continue to rise. Recent study on marketing practices project that business expenses on social media marketing will topple other forms of marketing as early as 2012.
Team of expert social media marketers
Sending your message to millions of users is crucial for your business success, and this is where a well-trained team of expert social media marketers play a vital role. Specialists in social media marketing services have been a great help in local businesses to drive targeted market back to their websites. Most social media users will share their experience if they are happy with your service, which is also the same case if they are also not happy with your service. The average Facebook user has more than 200 friends, which is significant number of people to reach within seconds. If you make a non-Facebook user happy, he may share it to his friends of not more than 10 people, and this may take a while. However, if you make a Facebook user happy, he can share the message to more than 1000 friends in just a click.
Word of mouth promotions
Social media marketing is similar to word of mouth promotions but made more powerful, because the message can reach thousands of people within a very short period of time. People usually trust the message because it is coming from their own network of people, instead of paid ads.
