Secrets of Social Media with Universal Web Consulting

Social media. It’s the word on the tip of the tongue. The new marketing Houdini, guaranteed to help your business escape the trap of Internet obscurity. It’s unbeatable. Undefeatable. It’s an inferno racing through the marketing world.

Sound familiar? I thought it might. If you’ve been doing business on the web for more than five minutes, you know social media. Or rather, you know what it is. What you don’t know is how to make it work for your business.

Welcome to Universal Web Consulting

Social media isn’t nearly as new as marketing people would like you to think it is.

Yep, that’s right. We’ve had social media for centuries. What is Facebook but a group of friends sitting in the cafeteria? How is Twitter any different from a group of ten or twelve co-workers huddled around a table in a pub lifting a pint?

The free flow of information between friends and colleagues is exactly the same. The only difference is, social media is allowing it to happen on a much larger scale.

Social Media=Word-of-Mouth Marketing

We’ve known for years that world of mouth marketing is the best tool a business can have. One satisfied customer refers a friend, relative or co-worker. They do the same. Before long, business is booming.

Why? Because word-of-mouth marketing takes corporate dollars out of the picture.

Seriously. You can’t buy satisfied customers. You have to step up to the plate and earn them. All the advertising in the world isn’t going to garner you as much business as a satisfied customer shouting your praise up on Twitter. Or Facebook. Or Google+. Or whatever the next generation of social media is going to be.

You Need a Social Media Consultant…Why?

Why do you need someone to run your social media campaign again? Oh. Right. Because running a corporate social media campaign isn’t the same as hopping on Facebook to talk to your friends. Consistency. Quality. Exchange of information.

Companies are failing at social media on a grand scale these days. You can’t turn around without seeing a social media blunder that turned into a PR nightmare. Or companies that are so overzealous about their social media campaigns that they can’t seem to stop driving their customers crazy.

That’s why you want Universal Web Consulting on your side. Their team of experts will introduce you to the basics of social media, open the door to strategies that work for your company, unravel the mysteries behind content and frequency and all of that happy “junk” and, in the end, teach you how to transform social media into success.
