Social Media Marketing (SMM)

This area of online marketing is becoming increasingly important - this is the arena where communication of your company and brands can go viral - positively or negatively!

The Positive side of Social Networks

Some of the more popular Social Networks include Facebook, Myspace and Youtube - though there are literally hundreds of others which include Bookmarking sites, blogging, video sites - it's endless.

To a certain degree it's difficult to stop the viral effect - though you can certainly do a lot to encourage it! Which is great when used positively.

Messages can go viral and spread across the world literally within 24 hours - millions of people may have seen a message if it's gone viral. Think of some of the youtube videos which have had millions of views - sometimes this can happen within days.

Even if your messages don't actually go 'viral', they can still reach significant numbers of people over time - it's not uncommon to see a business video on Youtube that's had a few thousand hits over a short timescale.

The potentially Negative side of Social Networks

The power of social networks can be so strong that many companies are now implementing strategies to protect themselves against maliscous attacks against their brands and reputation. Brand Protection is an area we all need be concerned about and in fact I can recommend a company who are developing some incredible software services to help businesses protect themselves in the future.
