Social Networks: Ready to Join the Party?

Selling yourself on Facebook.

Beyond the simple fact that social networks offer advertisers access to tens of millions of potential customers, they present two clear opportunities for more effective campaigns. First, they promise the ability to target customers with precision. If you want to reach baseball-loving twentysomethings who live in Seattle and have a college education, you can find social network groups that fill the bill. Second, social networks encourage your customers to recommend your company to others. Let’s say your company has a Facebook profile, and another user signs on as a “fan” of yours. Facebook will then alert that person’s friends, informing them of the connection. Voil�: textbook viral marketing for free.

Clarence – In my particular case, I am simply grateful they have added me. Nine times out of ten, I will take a look at their profile, their content, and get a brief snapshot of their presence online. Sometimes I will add them. Most times I do not. What it says to the people who I don’t follow? It depends on the individual, right? Some might think of me as pretentious, while others might simply be checking me out to see what it means when I say I do Me. You can’t control what people think about you — all that matters is that what you say and do reflect exactly who you are and how you get down.
