Lessons from a financial marketing consultant
1. Social media does not replace or reduce the need for traditional or paid advertising. Nor would you want to launch a traditional advertising campaign without considering use of digital and social media.
2. Compliance and regulatory concerns have slowed the adoption of social media by financial services companies and financial advisors in particular.
3. Chief marketing officers and sales management executives, not compliance will be the driving force for adopting social media. Insurance companies and RIAs are ahead of other investment firms in employing social media for practice building and networking.
4. Social media will be an important networking tool. Think about “when” and not “if”…
