Keep Tabs on Social Media Trends in the New Year | Digital Marketing Power | Scoop.it

As we head into a new year, it seems that social media will continue to play a vital role in most businesses’ online marketing strategies.  Nowadays, social media is ubiquitous, not just in terms of personal use but also for the growth, exposure and public relations of a business.

At the start of the 21st century, the advertising industry is guiding one of history's most massive stealth efforts in social profiling. At this point you may hardly notice the results of this trend. You may find you're getting better or worse discounts on products than your friends. You may notice that some ads seem to follow you around the internet. Every once in a while a website may ask you if you like a particular ad you just received. Or perhaps your cell phone has told you that you will be rewarded if you eat in a nearby restaurant where, by the way, two of your friends are hanging out this very minute.  Are you being watched?

Digital Marketing Power - My Curation Topic

Digital Marketing Power - My Curation Topic | Digital Marketing Power | Scoop.it

I've been fascinated with digital marketing and its possibilities ever since the term was coined. I guess that's because I've been professionally involved in sales and marketing for over 20 years now, way before the invention of the internet. I remember trying to think of a suitable title to encapsulate what digital marketing means to me and I realised that the word POWER had to be in there. When you think about it, when has there ever been a time in the history of commercial marketing and PR where a one man band or small business could compete with a multinational or global business. Digital marketing (when executed correctly) can level the playing field. My objective with 'Digital Marketing Power' is to select the best content from the best content producers around the world based on the following 3 key principles; 1) Education - provide hot tips and advice which you can use in your business immediately to make a difference 2) well written and nicely presented content for your enhanced experience and 3) evergreen content - so you can go back and reference this material regularly if you so choose. This is not a news site. Finally, I wanted to take this opportunity to mention my business, Gary Hitching Associates. I'm a business development consultant and specialise in lead generation, sales and customer retention for mainly SME businesses. Digital marketing and social media marketing are very significant components of my business development toolkit.

Why Your Social Media Marketing Stinks

Why Your Social Media Marketing Stinks | Digital Marketing Power | Scoop.it

Social networking is as old as humanity, and even the term social media has been around for quite a while. But as a function within marketing, social media management is only 3 years old at best for the majority of organizations. Despite all this, many B2B marketing organizations are seeing huge growth in the number of channels their business is demanding. And as the channels grow like weeds in a field, they become harder and harder to control, maintain and nurture.

2012: When social marketing will become marketing | Digital Marketing Power | Scoop.it

Big brands like Samsung which are the forerunners in the race have proven for themselves the ROI from investing in digital in the past. 2012 will only see a surge in this investment; and concerted efforts by both the brand and their advertising partner to prudently utilise the various digital channels to the best of their capacities.
