Developing a Web 2.0 Social Media Marketing Strategy

Developing a social media marketing plan requires attention to all aspects of your marketing strategy including offline and online marketing. An Internet Marketing plan starts with a solid foundation of SEO (search engine optimization ), possibly complemented with PPC (pay-per-click) plans. But, for long term results, all marketers need to consider how they can leverage the conversations taking place in the online viral communities in social media destination sites.

• Research your top competitor’s presence in Web 2.0 social media sites.
• Interview key stakeholders, e.g., company executives, key resellers, partners, etc.
• Review all your existing marketing materials.
• Research industry blogs and social media properties.
• Recommend a blog strategy and ongoing support.
• Look for opportunities to re-purpose content in social media properties.
• Identify any other industry websites with social media traits and study them for potential use.
• Recommend effective use of social media technologies according to the research findings.
• Recommend effective use of permission based email marketing leveraging social media platforms.
