Social Media is all the rage, but why is it important? 

It is important because the search engines love social media and going forward Google will put more emphasis on Social Media for page rank.

PLUS more people use social media now to connect and find products and services. Google will reward those companies that embrace it and use it.

Are you dominating social media for your industry? ...or have you GIVEN that to your competition.

This is one thing you can not ignore any longer. Talk to us today about the need and the power of social media.

At Touch Marketing Ltd we take social media very seriously and use it in our own business to gain strength in the market place and more targted clients.

In fact we like to call it "Cross Channel Marketing" as done properly it is very powerful.

1. There are over 2 million Facebook users in New Zealand alone.

2. The average Facebook user spends 7 hours on Facebook a week.

3. Thats over 14 Million hours of eyeballs in New Zealand each week.

4. Your Facebook fans are 50% more likely than others to buy from you.

Why do we take cross channel marketing so seriously?

Because Social Media has taken the power away from the large corporations and companies, advertising agencies and other major players and given it to the people.

No longer is a slick advertising campaign the only way to influence potential clients and no longer are the major players in charge of their identity in the market place.

"Your business is now transparent and instead of one person telling 6 people about your service they now have the ability to tell 6000 people with one click. Your business is now as good as what your clients tell others it is"

_{– Craig Connelly}

Social Media has changed the landscape for ever and more importantly Google has realised this. Social media is now an important part of googles indexing and ranking.

In fact Google rewards businesses that actively engage in Social Media.

"Social media is a cheap and effective method for gaining new customers"

"The goal of social media is to turn customers into a volunteer marketing army."

"A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is – it is what consumers tell each other it is."

Having a social media presence will help you develop an online personality and brand that viewers can discern and learn to trust, essentially helping you drive further traffic to your business.

Social media encourages transparency in business and this can either help you or hurt you.
