Social Media Market Research

May 4, 2009 by Rebekah King · Leave a Comment 

Not every kind of marketing works for every type of business, so often before beginning a marketing program, our clients will want to conduct market research inside of the social media marketplace.

Our tools allow us to eavesdrop on public conversations inside of twitter, myspace, facebook, and linkedIN, bringing back information like:

  • Who are your ideal clients?
  • What are your ideal clients talking about?
  • Where do they go to have these questions answered?
  • How do they want to learn about your product?

And with this information we can then develop a marketing program tailored for your business, to provide the greatest return in the most effective way we can. Often this process will not only provide research, but also sales leads from within the social media environment.

When Britains Got Talent start Susan Boyle took the stage in front of the three judges, it was all the audience could do to stop themselves from laughing. In front of them stood a 47 year old woman with an unpolished appearance who was certain to humiliate herself in front of millions. Then she did something extraordinary. She sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from the West End musical Les Misérables so beautifully that she received a standing ovation and is the talk of the UK. Her audition which has since been put on Youtube has received tens of millions of views. Read more
