Ok ok – based on the great response I got from my readers on my last blog post The 4 C’s of B2B Marketing I thought I would try to apply the same principle to Social Media Marketing. It combines a few things you might have read about into one new concept around social media – the 4 P’s of Social Media marketing.

When I put a search term into Google, typically eight of the top 10 results are social because consumers are creating enough content for that to happen. If I can discover the trends and themes consumers are creating, then I can put myself in the mix by building content to show up in that top eight to 10 results as well.

After my last post on the Media Budget Ratio I got a question out on the Marketing 2.0 community by Scott Zosel about how much should you allocate for Social Media in your budget? The cost of the technology used for social media is rather low. Great question Scott and you inspired me to write this post.

I recently saw an article from MarketingSherpa that said 62% of CMO’s believe that social media marketing will pay off … eventually! This crop of CMOs knows there are tons of ways to using digital marketing to create a strong ROI – the question of “there is no ROI in Social Media” doesn’t even occur to them.

But these days for B2B Marketers I think we need to take it a step further and say that “Content is Media&#. Can you stick to it?

Everyone seems content to dive right in and start planning their presence on these channels but is missing the point from a marketing perspective. The point is you need to plan the flow of content that will go into these channels. The channels you choose will only be as good as the content you publish with them.

Most people who write on social media outlets don’t do so just for the sake of doing it. Some might, but the vast majority of people who share content, post comments, or offer sentiments and opinions online do so because they are in what Andrew Jeavons of Survey Analytics calls “the point of emotion.” Let’s be clear.

Not so with Social Media. With Social, there is no passive tense. Social media allows the marketer to jump into the fray and to CREATE outcomes instead of being a victim. Passivity is anathema to today’s marketer, brand manager, media buyer/planner, advertiser, and content creator.
