In addition to having an excellent business web site, promoting a positive profile across the social media is important in successful online marketing. Twitter, Yahoo Groups, Facebook and other online communities are rapidly expanding. Statistics show that the number of online blogs is fast approaching the 500 million mark. Many of these bloggers host discussions of products and services that they have purchased. Surveys show that approximately one third of all blogs discuss commercial products. A similar percentage of surfers surveyed said that they thought more highly of companies that had their own business blogs.
Businesses should be aware of the vast potential to promote their products via social media. They should also be concerned that their company or brand reputation might be damaged by mishandling of these advertising opportunities.
While no special skills are required to launch a blog or sign up to an online group, promoting products in these forums does demand considerable expertise. Launching a campaign without a good understanding of this media could do more harm than good to your image.
