With the economy in a slump, many businesses are turning to the Internet to generate extra reveneue. We’re finding though that companies are trying to apply traditional marketing strategies to their web business and the results are dismal. With technology moving at a dizzying speed, marketers are having a difficult time understanding the new age of marketing, let alone generating revenue. Executives I talk to write off social media as “teenager hype,” yet what they fail to realize is that social marketing is what makes the Internet tick and it’s here to stay.
Take blogs as an example. It is by far the most misunderstood marketing tool and is perceived by many in corporate America as a glorified chat room. I am fascinated that many people I talk with have the perception that the sole purpose of a blog is for the general public to write uncensored comments. It is the same demographic that is clueless to how Facebook works and to whom Twitter means birds singing.
So continuing our mission of building online brands through better design, development and marketing, Keylex has launched a comprehensive Social Marketing division to guide companies in creating buzz with this exploding medium. With our pulse on technology and our deep knowledge of social trends, we have quickly become the go-to company for new-age marketing strategies.
