Social media marketing tips: Here’s what these social media experts recommend as the best marketing tactics worth doing today.
“When it comes to social media, businesses should go deep, not broad. It’s better to become a master of one or two channels than flounder in many. When you look at social media channels, a good model is to break them into social platforms vs. social networking sites.”
Next we have a podcast from the same source, this time an interview with Ian Cleary from RazorSocial where he describes some of the tools he likes and uses every day to simplify his day-to-day social media campaigns. Most of them will be familiar to regular readers, but a few will be new, and worthwhile checking out. Definitely worth a listen.

Social media marketing is not just for targeting consumers. B2B marketers are discovering they can engage with huge numbers of prospects by ‘humanising’ their brand through Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Our takeaway was this quote from Brian Pember:
“A long-held axiom of B2B marketing is that the best contacts are face-to-face meetings between a salesperson and a client. Pember agrees, but says: “People buy from people and nothing ever replaces a face-to-face conversation. But the business landscape simply doesn’t allow that conversation to happen on a global scale. Social media does.” He adds that social media are a great way to ‘humanise’ your brand”.
Hopefully there are a few little nuggets in there to help you with your social media marketing efforts this week.
Until next week, enjoy your week!
