l’m happy to see social media reintroducing “relationship” into business after their break up. Facebook may be a fad, but the principles they use to help businesses grow are not!

social media marketing, like most things get ignored, people just get use to it and then once they know its an ad just ignore it

One of the things I wonder about though is whether people get that social media participation can actually be a problem. Every time you create a piece of content in a social media site (especially one that has higher PageRank than your own) you are essentially creating competition for your own site. And most people at some point need people to come to their site: to read, buy something, and just to create a mailing list

“Social media is bringing back the relationship into business” – this is true. Many business tends to be indifferent to their consumers. When they should instead try to know what their consumers feel about their brand. Long term marketing strategies must involve building up relationship and trust among consumers.

I agree you. It was a great post.Social Marketing” has been around as long as man could speak. It’s just word of mouth. But now thanks to technology and advances in the Internet we have multiple ways to provide that word of mouth.I think certain elements of social marketing are very “fad” and will become more and more redundant over time.

I often wonder when and where the fad ends and stategic oppourtunites of social marketing starts. By me sitting here posting this reply am I part of the fad or an oppourunity to “connect and build a relationship” and who is this relationship with? The World? They guy in the cubical next to me? The housewife killing time waiting for her husband to get home from his social marketing job? Everyone seems to be caught up on making social media a must in marketing and so main stream that it appears to become a fad by sheer Darwinism. Have I become another web click counting for someone’s bank account? I guess relationships to me have never been a fad and reconnecting to people is important in business and life.

However what kind of relationship can you expect to get back, how do you make text a relationship-is it really as simple as hitting the reply button? It makes me question which one is really the fad: social marketing or the relationship that is suppose to result from it. What we are calling a fad?

Just look at the various links on this page-buy this, click here to link to that, call me to get this, relationships you say?

Yeah I understand the consumer is the reader and the results are to get as many views to ultimately profit from but why not just say it instead of calling it a relationship and then credit it to a successful social marketing campaign.

Perhaps the fad is not social marketing but how we are using it to redfine relationships. In the end it’s how you create revenue for and from your site, for and from your blog but don’t tell me it’s about relationships-for that I pick up book from Dr. Ruth.

Have we run out of ways to disguise what marketing is really about? Like any internet based media-the next big “must do” fad is being uploaded as we speak. I guess in the end it’s all relative-you get what you want out of it-personally I want nothing out of social marketing. I’ll stick to meeting people face to face creating relationships not writing about them.

Enjoy the fad, social marketing, whatever name you want to give today just know the more you attempt to make it a creditable stream for marketing the more you create the fad. **if you’d like to read my blogg click here

This post has actually woken me up a bit. I’ve been fighting the social marketing aspect of doing business, hoping to just make it with a static site. Thank you for this post!

Great point. No matter how you interact and build relationship with customers and partners, it will benefit you in one way or another.

Social media just makes it easier to do it online and engage more people at the same time.

So yes, it is NOT a fad.

I think that after seeing how the White House website is being changed to incorporate Social Media and how the President is using Social Media to help inform the people,
a good example would be with our new president while he was a candidate, with his twitter account, you can actually see what he was thinking or doing in real time, which we have never ever experienced in the history

I have done some investigating into social marketing. So far, I keep it to Squidoo, HubPages, and mybloglog. I do find that these bring visitors, but it also creates some inbound link juice which might even be a better side benefit to bring you natural google search results.

No, I do not think it is. Social marketing is here to stay and people should take advantage of it.

You’re right. Many people underestimate about the benefit of social media. But I think it’s a good alternative to promote our business.
