SLS Social Media Presentation HiRes
Social media allows for conversations online between customers and is powered by information sharing, networking, photos, videos, and live streaming. It represents a fundamental shift from interruptive marketing to a dialog model where marketers can participate in conversations with customers. With over 400 million online social community users and the average person exposed to 3,000 ad messages daily but only trusting recommendations from friends, social media offers a way to connect through people, technology, and economics. Small businesses are increasingly using social media to attract new customers and improve their online presence. Street Level Studio can help companies examine customers, goals, and develop a unique social media strategy.
