Large organizations will be faced with some interesting challenges in coming months and years. The way we connect today is drastically different from even a few short years ago. It’s a big shift, and one that can largely be attributed to social media.
While its impact is undeniable, organizations still scramble to make sense of all social media’s moving parts. Everybody is trying to avoid the slowly-but-surely creeping threat of being made irrelevant by technology and a lack of action. A once-mighty video rental chain comes to mind, with a few other previously heavy hitters in tow.
All of this begs the questions: how do large organizations tap into this shift in a meaningful way? How do you leverage the enormous power of social media? After all, there’s an estimated $1.3 trillion in untapped revenue in social. That’s a huge, lucrative pie that few are eating, and even fewer are going back for seconds.
The most important thing is to understand (and embrace) the fact that social media is more than a simple promotional tool—it needs to be a core part of your business strategy and given consideration in every major decision.
That’s social media’s role today and the foreseeable future. A smarter strategic approach to it will drive huge efficiencies, provide you with incredible opportunities to build and protect your brand and—most importantly—help you drive real revenue and measure ROI.
This guide—which is also available as a downloadable PDF—outlines what that looks like.
3 ways social media can benefit your business
1. Bake efficiencies into your organization
A penny saved is a penny earned. That statement is as true today as it was when you first heard it (with perhaps a few more zeros attached to that figure now). Finding meaningful efficiencies is every bit as important to an organization as driving new revenue. But it can be a whole lot trickier.
Smart marketers know that being efficient is about more than cutting corners or slashing budgets—it’s implementing meaningful, long-term changes that help your team and organization save time, stretch dollars, and do something better than they could before.
