Hello again everyone. As we all know marketing has been evolving throughout the past decades into what we call digital marketing. Marketing used to be more about selling the products to their customers through many different means. Those means consisted of advertisements in newspapers, magazines, commercials, and so many more. We still see these ads today, but the momentum has shifted towards a more digital approach.

With the wide use of social media marketers are able to create communities that surround the company’s brand with consumers and others who love their products. In doing so we are able to communicate, gather feedback, and gain insights through the use of analytical tools offered by many social media platforms. This allows marketers to use the insights and feedback from both CRM and through social media to make better informed decisions on campaigns, their social media sites, website, products, target market, etc. Technological advances with these systems has added a great resource for marketers and their companies to utilize to help maximize their customer retention and satisfaction.

Small businesses to large organizations need to have some sort of digital presence, especially social media platforms. This allows your consumers to promote your products and company.

They are promoting your brand for you.
