This is a great article - your church or small business NEEDS to be involved in social media!
"Social media in 2010 reminds me a lot of where the Internet was in 1996.
Back then, there were plenty of companies that believed they didn’t need to have a web presence. They were satisfied with their current status and had no interest in venturing into foreign territory.
Many of those companies ended up digging themselves into holes it took years to dig out of.
Today, there are just as many companies that can’t be bothered with social media. The common assumptions?
Social media is for kids
Social media serves no business purpose
Social media marketing isn’t as effective as traditional marketing
Social media has grown exponentially in recent years and there is no sign that the growth is slowing down. As of the end of 2009, there were a combined 142 million social networkers on the top 10 social media sites. There are over 100 million users on Facebook alone!
What can social media do for your brand? It can:
Attach a “human face” to your company
Engage customers in meaningful conversation
Engage visitors by having them contribute content
Provide immediate customer service
Inform the public about new products and services… and special offerings"
