Event Description:
Is social media marketing worth it? Today, a wide range of industries are increasingly using social media as a low-cost way to enhance brand awareness and market products and services. But social media IS NOT FREE. It takes people, technology, and time?all of which are in limited resources. Two major questions keep popping up with business owners and marketing professionals:
* How can we maximize the potential of social media?
* How can we effectively measure social media ROI?
While all the growth and potential surrounding social media marketing is certainly exciting, it can become a bottomless pit of wasted time. Measuring the impact of social marketing can be difficult because the returns you?ll get out of networking via social media are not always direct and immediate. As social media continues to grow at an exhilarating pace, it can become challenging for marketers to balance the time-consuming demands of today?s social media marketing landscape with their businesses? core focus.
