Jessica,
A very belated thanks for your comment. I am so far behind in my own marketing–we’ve been moving and it has taken way too much time and energy.
So many small business owners are stretched to the limits and have very little time to learn ’scary’ new stuff. But, I think social media is pretty easy to understand if you get a little help.

Kathleen, I think social media is being thought of as a quick add-on, like sending an occasional press release used to be. But you need a strategy here just as much as you do with PR.

Social Media can be a valuable part of your overall marketing strategy. The trick is to tie it in with all of your other marketing and to approach it with the same stellar quality.

Social media can quickly reflect the values of your company and earn the trust of current and potential customers.

Cheers – Kathleen

Thanks Newt! What a great post.

I absolutely agree with your 6 points about embracing social media. I wholeheartedly believe that most small business owners are “afraid” of social media because they aren’t sure how to use it for their marketing purposes. And, as we know, change is always scary!

However, once small/medium business owners realize that social marketing is a simple marketing platform to bring awareness and visibility to your brand, the task is much less daunting.

Social media continues to grow. Don’t think that the bandwagon is full; my parents, aunts, and uncles are just learning about FB and twitter and are embracing it quickly. Consumers will continue to learn about power and ease of SM.

This is a great list! Definitely agreeing with #5 as it can be fairly inexpensive to do. Most small businesses can probably just hire one person to do all their social media related marketing.
