Week 12- Using Other Social Media Tools



Four additional online marketing tools that I believe could be important for the growth of my business is Yelp, Google +, Linkedin, and Coupon Marketing like Groupon or Living Social.  

I have heard many good things about Google + so I should give it a try.  It would be nice to incorporate to reach out to a greater community.

I have used Yelp to read reviews about a business.  This is a great tool to see how the customers perceive the business, along with their experience with it.  This could be easily integrated for our business and reach out to past customers to ask them to please Yelp us to get started.  

Linkedin would also be easy to get started on, as I already have one for my personal use and could easily connect with my contacts through my business page.  It would also be beneficial to connect with local businesses.  

As for coupon marketing, I always felt it as a way of cheapening your services; however, I am now changing my tune on that one.  I am always looking on Groupon and Living Social to see what deals there are.  Even though I may not purchase every deal, it gives you insight on what businesses are in your area, what they offer and often times it’s a new business I haven’t heard of.  It’s a great way of getting our name out there.  Plus giving the customer to try your product or service at a discounted rate, which will ideally turns into a loyal customer base.
