Social Media 4 Direct Marketers: How to Transform Conversations into Results

Are you losing opportunities to move your customer relationships to the next level?

You know that you need to participate in social media because your customers and competitors are there. Maybe you've ventured into the arena, logging hundreds of hours planning, tweeting, and posting with little to show for it. If so, you're probably wondering if you should stop the madness.

Or, maybe you're still a spectator. You've been watching for the right time to jump in, but it's starting to look like everyone is so far ahead you'll never catch up.

There are three myths that keep people from succeeding in social media.

Myth One: It's all about the conversation.

Reality: You can chat forever without increasing revenue or improving relationships. You have to have a strategy that includes call to actions, efficiency, and metrics.

Myth Two: People expect you to be online 24/7 to respond to their questions and comments.

Reality: People expect what you train them to expect. If you tell them when you are online, they'll expect you at those times. You can even schedule informative tweets as long as you respond to questions and comments on a regular basis.

Myth Three: Social media is a stand-alone marketing tool.

Reality: Social media works when it is integrated with other marketing tools. Without them, there are no conversions or customer care. Conversation is your only reward.

Here's your chance to break out of the conversation mold and start converting browsers into buyers.

Social Media 4 Direct Marketers is a smart start introduction to effective implementation and measurement of an integrated marketing strategy.

The world of social media is confusing and contradictory. Stories of idea viruses spreading like wildfire generating a never-ending revenue stream at minimal cost are bewitching. All it takes is a few key influencers to start the process and your company will be the talk of the world.

You’ve read the stories and think that there’s a chance that social media is right for your business. Then you hit the brick wall of questions:

  • Which is better facebook or myspace?

  • How do I use twitter?

  • Why does it seem that everybody is saying direct marketing is dead when it generates sales for my business every day?

  • How do I make money using social media?

  • What exactly is social media?

  • How do I measure social media to see if it’s worth the investment?

  • What if I do something wrong?

  • Where do I start?
  • How do I integrate social media with my other marketing tools?

It’s enough to make you run screaming in the opposite direction or sit paralyzed in fear of failure. But, then you see your competitor’s invitation to become a fan on facebook and follow them on twitter. You know you need to do something or you’ll be left behind, but what?

The guide is designed so you can cut through the hype and get to the benefits of an integrated strategy.
