It is now widely accepted that social media marketing is a highly effective lead generation tool and, as such, is fast becoming a priority for most businesses. Those that still don’t concur (“our customers don’t use it”) need to think bigger. Social media marketing is not just about where your customers are, it’s also about who your customers are connected to and the reach your brand can achieve by publishing highly shareable content.
The Hard Numbers
- The average budget spent on social media doubled between 2009 and 2011
- 63% of companies using social media say it has increased marketing effectiveness
- 61% of marketers use social media to increase lead generation
- 1 out of every 8 minutes online is spent on Facebook
- 67% of Twitter users are more likely to buy from brands they follow
Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+, the social activity surrounding your brand is now playing a key role in determining how your brand is found online, not only by your prospects but by Google too. If people are talking about your brand and sharing your content, this sends social signals to Google that your website is one worth knowing about.

BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT MARKETING
Lead Generation
Publishing highly shareable social media content presents more opportunities to network with your customers, identify leads and generate new business.

Google has changed the way in which it returns results and now rewards content that has been highly shared: the more it is shared, the more influential your website becomes.
Reach
Social media websites are designed for connecting people. If your content is interesting, your followers will share it amongst their networks, extending the reach of your brand.
Readership
Providing bite-size broadcasts with eye-catching headlines will entice more traffic to your website, increasing your readership.
Loyalty
Interacting with your customers and suppliers on a more personal level and inviting them into your brand will create deeper, longer lasting relationships.
