Future of Social Media

Future of Social Media…

The future of social media will lead quite a dominant role in our future whether you are a sceptic or no.

In the past few years, researchers have identified regional spikes in seasonal flu at least one week before CDC by tracking online search queries and following Twitter streams.

So what is the Future of Social Media?

The mobility of technology is probably the most impressive, when we can go for a run wherever we are, and we can track our progress online and at the same time share this with our friend who is also running on the other side of town. We can track our weight loss, what a way to be held accountable to ourselves and having our friends giving you support online.

Social media icons Twitter and Facebook have become “social dashboards” for many up and coming businesses that have grown and developed supporting Twitter and Facebook such as Marketmesuite, Tweetdeck, Zynga and even Townsville Social Media Marketing.

Facebook will become one of the major channels for future online shopping. With its 700 million users businesses can reap the benefits of all their brand and commerce store, building and promoting their businesses online.

Imagine receiving the right information just at the right time when we require it, imagine how much time, energy and effort have been saved. This is what is currently being developed with all the information collected by Facebook, Google, and Amazon about us all. This information is being collected, collated and stored for future use.

Therefore, companies will realise to measure ROI through social media, they need to look at the interaction that they see on their page and the overall involvement and intimacy of the people that influence their page.

A recap on the word of mouth promotion through social media:

• It starts with an interaction on your website, Facebook, twitter, YouTube etc.
• Secondly as a business owner you can choose to show an involvement and you interact
• Next their develops an intimacy between you and the consumer in regard to your product and/or service. A purchase follows
• A recommendation of the product and or service follows this, this in turn influences their peers and friends to trust and see credibility in the product and/or service, this is the future of social media.

End result is as your influence grows so then does your business. We all have a different view on the future of social media, however it is here so why not embrace and see where the rides leads you.

What an adventure it could be and if you are not the adventurous type then that is okay too. Enjoy Kaz :)
