With recent social media events and speakers in town, more companies are starting to develop an interest in what social media can do for them. Winnipeg social media is on marketers lips and after discussing with a few businesses, they often understand the value and how it can help with online branding, but many feel its not the time to implement.

Here are a few considerations when thinking about adding social media to your marketing mix;

  • It’s not a question of whether you do, its a matter of when. And putting it off just means that much more catching up you’ll have to do.
  • There’s a very good chance your competition is doing so already
  • It’s strongly recommended to have someone devoted to this role as opposed to adding it to someone’s duties. The majority that try their hand at social media fail as it is time consuming.

I’ve spoken with a few local companies (and a couple south of the border) lately and have found many to be anxious to begin but unsure where to start. What I’ve done is created two options to provide direction. One being provide an analysis and report to clients as a primer, the other being available (retainer) for strategy and direction.

With advertising slowly dying, social media is really a great way to communicate with customers.
