Facebook & Social Media - The Best Marketing Opportunity

Marketing as an activity is all about reaching the right clients with the right products, and the result desired is happy consumers who're more than willing to open their purses wide enough to enhance your revenues. For several years, marketers stalked their target customers through many means and by trying to get their message to spread awareness about their products.

Usually, marketing communications were conducted via print, broadcast and such regular media through disruptive advertising, where ads appear in between the content of interest for the customer.

Standard media does offer a huge reach to a marketer with its programming of mass appeal. But, the wastage is equally high, as a large part of the audience would belong to a different segment than the one that is to be targeted by the marketer.

The revolution stirred by the world wide web as a medium took place because of the fact that it is very personalized and offers more content on-demand than other available medium. Social networks proliferated far and wide in their usage for a few simple reasons:

The ability to create and distribute content is equally available to every user, regardless of him/her being a customer or a marketer. In the earlier types of media, that power rested with the editorial personnel of the channel or the advertiser, but rarely with the user.

The medium is totally personalized, and an user can create or join groups and further create content according to what he/she likes.

Opinions are free and fair. This is one reason why social networking is of utmost concern to marketers, since purchasing decisions are no more influenced as much by ads. The conventional word-of-mouth marketing strategy has grown leaps and bounds on social networks.

With 500 million (and increasing) unique users globally, Facebook is the top social networking site in terms of activity and subscriptions. What started as a garage initiative by Mark Zuckerberg has now become the largest phenomenon on the web.

An user interface which permits for quick communication and the ability to create fan pages and groups at a few click of a mouse button are what make Facebook extremely popular. Another key reason for its immense popularity is the wide variety of social applications that are developed and made available within the Facebook environment.

Those applications enables users and friends to do joint activities like playing games that run forever, sharing photos, videos, and web links, and more.

Facebook provides a wide variety of avenues to contact the audience, which opens up an entirely different world of possibilities to have an effective dialogue with customers. Most of these methods used popularly by marketers are: advertising, Facebook fan pages & Facebook branded applications.
