Hi

The effective use of social networking sites can significantly help your company to improve its public image and make it more accessible to your clients. Having public profiles accessible to your clients and potential customers, gives your business a chance to interact with its customers like never before. The use of social networking sites will significantly improve the reach and visibility of your business and services, at little or no cost to your business. You will have more chances to introduce new products and services, while simultaneously being able to receive feedback on whether the ideas are working or not.

The use of social networking sites can provide your business with an alternative to the big budget marketing of the past. You will no longer need to spend thousands and thousands of dollars every year marketing your product to the masses. Social networking sites now offer your company a free alternative, by being able to market your products and services to as many people as you want, absolutely free. All you need to do is to register with the site, create a public profile, and start adding contacts. Getting in touch with potential clients through the use of social networking sites can help save your business money, as well as establish a new level of trust between you and your clients.

I recommend using a social media marketing tool like Sokule for simultaneous posting to various social media sites - it's a huge time-saver.

And if you want to launch a viral marketing campaign to generate buzz about your business in social media circles, but don't know how to go about doing it yourself, I recommend checking out SquadHelp. It's a a crowdsourcing site that lets you run contests to have viral videos created for your business or contests to have targeted viral marketing traffic driven to your website.
