Social networks as a marketing tool
Social networks are communities of people. As you know, people always want communication, but in the real world, we often can not overcome the natural shyness and just start a conversation with a stranger. The Internet is much simpler. It is enough to register in a social network, and you will immediately have virtual interlocutors, you will be invited to groups and communities of interest, or you can create your own communities - with your own rules and selection of participants according to certain criteria. Social networks are quite active, and at the moment one can count single Internet users who do not belong to any social network.
For some people, such networks have become a kind of virtual life. Yes, we can not go to another city in the evening to visit a friend, but we can go to a social network and start active communication with one or several friends, regardless of their geographical location. But social sites that provide an opportunity to search for friends, classmates or acquaintances are only a small part of such communities. There are associations of interests, by geographical location, by political convictions or by some other characteristics that can allow unlimited number of people to join the group.
Previously, social networks were used simply for communication, but now the presence of such communities has made it possible to conduct effective marketing campaigns that require a minimum of costs, but are 100% effective.
It is worth noting that registration in a social network is mostly free, which attracts users. Having registered, each person receives a personal page on which he can do whatever he wants, within the framework of, of course, the code of ethics and resource rules. Users can post their photos and videos, comment on photos and videos of other users, join groups and communities and conduct active discussions on various topics, ask their questions and respond to others, communicate with other users on the pages available to the public, and in private , and perform many other actions. Therefore, social networks are popular, as they allow active virtual communication and search for friends and like-minded people.
Opportunity to express your opinion
How many people, after receiving poor-quality goods, services or services, begin to assert their rights? Agree, a fairly small number of buyers will find the courage to object to the hamovatomu seller or require proper maintenance. But on the Internet, going into your social network, the user does not miss the opportunity to describe the event in detail and express your opinion. Social networks include many groups and consumer communities that exchange views about stores, products, brands, quality of service, and other aspects that accompany the acquisition of something. This is how public opinion is formed on the Internet and, accordingly, the image of firms, and the social network provides an opportunity for active discussion, which can often turn into a real online trial, because the virtual clarification of who is right and who is to blame is much more fascinating than real.
