Welcome to my Social Media website!

“The ROI of social media is whether your business will still exist in five years.” Erik Qualman, US social media guru.

The great thing about social media is that it’s the ultimate word of mouth, and it’s where you can engage with people. Thousands in your area and target market (including potential customers) are online and using a range of social media platforms.

Social Media has transformed the way the world does business. The implications are huge and the rewards are enormous for those businesses with the knowledge and foresight to get involved and to do it properly.  Click here to see how!

If you are not already ‘out there’ on social media, there is a great opportunity to harness the power of social media for the benefit of your business. Even if you are one of the minority of business owners who has the technical knowledge, and knows what to do to properly utilise social media across the different platforms to build your business, the reality is that you almost certainly don’t have the necessary time to devote to social media to do it properly.

I notice that lots of businesses have a Twitter account, or Facebook page, but they have not all been properly set up (e.g. as Facebook profiles rather than business pages), they aren’t always making the right connections or posting regular, interesting content to engage in conversations with relevant customers. The same applies to LinkedIn; many people do not have a profile, or if they do have one, are confused about how to make the best use of it.

How I can help you…

I work with a range of clients to support their marketing and social media needs.

  • My social media 1-2-1 training sessions, workshops and mentoring are designed for those wishing to try a DIY approach. Contact me for information on my 2012 workshops (see also my blog posts on these), to book a ‘how to’ training session or a 1-2-1 coaching/mentoring appointment.
  • I can also provide a social media management service for your business. This ranges from a basic account and profile set up on the relevant major social media platforms, to a full service, including content creation & distribution and reputation management. I can also provide ad hoc support and holiday cover for businesses needing a break without having to worry about keeping up with their posts, Tweets etc.
  • I also offer marketing strategy support, including designing effective social media plans and integrating them with wider marketing activity.
  • As an affiliate, I also offer access to a brilliant online social media training programme for businesses. Contact me for further details.

How is social media doing?

  • Facebook now gets more page views each month than Google; its fastest growing user group is currently 55-64 year olds
  • Twitter is a brilliant tool to engage with people and millions are using it; it is being used faster than national and international media for communicating breaking news and information
  • LinkedIn provides the greatest networking facility to link up professionals and organisations
  • You Tube is growing very rapidly and provides an incredible video platform that, used correctly, can have a huge impact on your sales
  • Google + gained followers faster than either Facebook or Twitter, achieving 20 million users in its first 24 days, compared with over 1,000 days it took each of the two more established platforms to do the same. Now made available to business owners, we are monitoring Google + to assess its impact versus others

So instead of trying to do it all in isolation and risk failure, or burying your head in the sand because you don’t know what to do… let me support you by managing it for you or helping you in how to do it effectively.
