Combine Your Web and Social Media Strategies
As reported in eM+C, a study by market research firms Chadwick Martin Bailey and iModerate Research Technologies showed that consumers who are Facebook fans and Twitter followers of brands are more likely to recommend and buy from those brands than they were before becoming fans/followers.
For B2B and B2C companies alike, incorporating a social media strategy is a key initiative. Government organizations and non-profits are also finding success by fostering community interaction online. Sitecore makes it easy to integrate your website efforts with social media platforms and sites while also offering community features for your visitors right on your site. With Sitecore’s out-of-the-box Web 2.0 features, you can build a user community without complex programming.
