Done correctly, social media is about developing meaningful relationships with customers and prospective customers in their natural habitat. You have to create content, be part of many communities, and proceed incrementally. Many successful social media programs take months (or even more than a year) to really germinate.

Last night while reading the story, it occurred to me that many small business decision-makers are like Sam- saying no to social media, without even being sure why. Yet they blindly support tactics like blanketing local zip codes with direct mail pieces (argh). Will you embrace Twitter if I can show you ROI?

But marketers have always reached out to communities in many forms, and each new medium has taken its turn as Holy Grail for customer influence. Customers don’t need more messages. In fact, they are increasingly resistant to them.

It’s a good mix of coach-speak, highlights, community service footage, and cheerleader features. In a world where company employees from Legos reward their most die hard fans by engaging with them in their online communities, what better vertical to do something similar than with professional sports? So, I peeked at YouTube.

All of these tactics can work together seamlessly to create a robust, optimized content marketing engine that pays real dividends in increased website traffic, and conversions. Allowing for and creating communities. However, I think some really neat things could occur if some offline (or nonline) tactics were added into the mix.

Are there differences between B2B and B2C in social media? But those differences are at the tactics layer, not the strategy layer. Creating and calibrating a social media strategy for any company should follow the same process. Private brand communities vs. Facebook. Linkedin Groups vs. Twitter. Podcasts vs. YouTube.
