In traditional media marketing conversation was one-way. Basically, you spoke and an audience listened. With social media marketing (SMM), things have changed and you must be willing and able to give up control of your message. SMM creates engagement with millions of people who can contribute to or detract from the marketing message. There is a balance of power between you, as the company, and the people, as the market.

Audience

Transparency is crucial, listening is critical and patience is imperative in SMM. Relay information in a timely manner to your audience and know what their concerns are to maintain open and honest communication. Gaining their trust and loyalty takes time and won't happen overnight, but the diligence applied to SMM efforts has the ability catapult a business to the top of its industry.

Consistency

SMM is a long-term commitment and requires patience and dedication. It cannot be treated like a 'flash in the pan' and clients that expect instantaneous results have either been misled or are misleading themselves. Routine updates with fresh, relevant content will captivate your audience's attention. Never stop listening to what your audience has to say and build your brand on a variety of social properties - multiple areas win, not single site or one-hit-wonders.
