SocialAna, Social Marketing Solutions for Local Businesses
http://www.SocialAna.com Connect with me at Ana Social Marketing Facebook Page Touted as a Social Media Maven, I am a Social Media Strategist and Local Marketing Consultant for restaurants, salon's, spa's, doctor's dentist's and local small businesses.  I help small business owners get found locally by customers who are using their mobile phones searching for you.  I integrate Social Media to compliment your local marketing tactics.  The foundation will be set up in advance, along with basic training and education on tools, applications and strategy, you will be well on your way! Did you know that you can increase your business visibility by doing some simple steps on free sites? Your customers are using their mobile phones for everything these days: conducting online searches, making appointments, surfing the internet.  If they are in your area and conduct a search for restuarants, salon's, dentists, your listing can pop up provided your business is listed, has the right keywords, and positive reviews from other sites. Likewise, if you haven't started using social media sites like Facebook business page, Twitter, and geo-location social sites to stay connect to your clients and customers, you could be losing them and $$$ to your competitors.  There are a few social sites that you MUST have in place.  Having someone like me to set you up locally and socially will help kick-start your online activities, get you found locally by ideal customers, enable people to stay in touch with you and refer you to their friends (viral marketing). It works like this:People buy from those they KNOW, LIKE and TRUST.  You will utilize these sites to help that happen! Twitter: Did you know that Twitter is easy to set up and use? Did you know that your listing can be added to very popular online Twitter directories so you can get found locally and nationally.  Did you know that I know how to seek, target local prospects and follow them on Twitter, then help send them to your Facebook page, share your specials and drive them to your website and other sites?  You don't need to have thousands of followers, only the right type of followers and in your zip code! Foursquare - list your business here, create a special, and local people will see it as they use their mobile phones to tell their friends that they are "checking in" to their favorite restaurant, business, or retail store etc..  As they "check in"from their mobile phone, it will notify their Foursquare, Facebook, Twitter networks - the person doing the "check-in" is INFLUENCING their network about their daily likes and habits.  This is what I call FREE advertising.  You can create a check-in for a first time visitor, and create incentive for multiple check-in's and offer specials for the Mayor.  This is a fun app, one that will help people visit your place of business! Facebook Business Page- Having a Facebook page helps you stay in touch with your customers.  You can post 3 times per day photos, videos and update them about any changes happening in your day to day business; for restaurants it can be additions to your menu, revealing happy hour specials; for a spa or doctor, you could offer personal suggestions, sharing product info, tips, and reminders about setting up appointments, offer specials for first time visitors, or as with Foursquare, offer check-in specials or referral specials. By the way, it it obvious that I would need to explain the wonderful and FREE features of Twitter, Foursquare, and Facebook Page. These sites are powerful marketing tools to help people "know, like and trust you" and to keep coming back!  As far as maintaining these sites, you can update your Twitter, Facebook page and Foursquare in advance by utilizing a free social media tool.  You'd have to call me to get that info! :>)  Call today for a 20 minute consultation and price quote.
