Week 9 EOC: Social Media

Social Media is extremely powerful in this day and age and it is crazy to not even consider using it to promote yourself or your product. Social Media is crucial and vital in marketing whether it is Instagram, Vine, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, or whatever is created tomorrow. "Increased Brand Recognition. Every opportunity you have to syndicate your content and increase your visibility is valuable. Your social media networks are just new channels for your brand’s voice and content. This is important because it simultaneously makes you easier and more accessible for new customers, and makes you more familiar and recognizable for existing customers."

The way that I plan on making “Dirt with Worms” popular is first changing the name to “Dirt n’ Worms” because Dirt with Worms is a mouthful. The next step is to grab my friends and family members and have them post a picture of the product with them eating it on any and all social media sites they use using #DirtnWorms. Example: Hey everyone you’ve gotta try this new thing called Dirt n’ Worms, it’s like pudding but it’s creamy and chewy and crunchy… I just can’t explain it (insert picture of them eating it)! #DirtnWorms “Richer Customer Experiences. Social media, at its core, is a communication channel like email or phone calls. Every customer interaction you have on social media is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate your customer service level and enrich your relationship with your customers.” Quoted from http://www.forbes.com/sites/jaysondemers/2014/08/11/the-top-10-benefits-of-social-media-marketing/2/#656971fb5232 .

Promoting through social media can cost little to absolutely nothing and it is much better than being bombarded with ads that you cannot avoid. Social media is never going away and is only becoming more and more popular. “The longer you wait, the more you have to lose. Social media marketing, when done right, can lead to more customers, more traffic, and more conversions, and it’s here to stay.” Quoted from http://www.forbes.com/sites/jaysondemers/2014/08/11/the-top-10-benefits-of-social-media-marketing/2/#656971fb5232 .
