HOW DOES SOCIAL NETWORK BENEFIT BUSINESSES

MARKETING
• Provide the ability to tell "your story". Tools like twitter, youtube and facebook provide an easy mechanism to give your marketing message. Unlike other marketing tools - with social media you give the control of the message over to the consumers. They dictate how the message is received and spread over these media. With the ability to cross post on different social networks the message can become viral very quickly (assuming the content is great!).
INFLUENCING
• Social media enables business to influence the perception (for example pre-launch startup) by getting your message out to the consumers. Ideally you want to combine your blog (with industry/thought leading topics) and use social media to spread the word about your blog.
COMPETITION
• It is quite easy to see what your competition is doing on SMM as well as listen to the feedback the customers are providing to your competition. Knowing the problems the competitor is having can enable you to take advantage of that.
