Some facts which show the power of social media-:
- Gary Vaynerchuk grew his family business from $4 million to $50 million using social media. Gary's eccentric personality and offbeat oenophile knowledge have proven a natural path to success with his Wine TV Library.
- Vaynerchuk found first hand: $15,000 in direct mail = 200 new customers; $7,500 billboard = 300 new customers; $0 Twitter = 1,800 new customers.
- A Wetpaint/Altimeter Study found companies that are both deeply and widely engaged in social media significantly surpass their peers in both revenue and profit. The study also found the company sales with the highest levels of social media activity grew on average by +18 percent, while those companies with the least amount of social activity saw their sales decline -6 percent.
- BlendTec increased its sales 5x by running the often humorous "Will it Blend" Videos on YouTube, blending everything from an iPhone to a sneaker.
- "You can't just say it. You have to get the people to say it to each other," says James Farley, CMO Ford. Ford seems to know what they are doing, especially with Scott Monty leading the social media charge. By giving away 100 Ford Fiestas to influential bloggers, 37 percent of Generation Y were aware of the Ford Fiesta before its launch in the United States. Is it any wonder why 25 percent of Ford's marketing spend has been shifted to digital/social media initiatives? Ford is the only U.S. auto company that didn't take a government loan.
Somtimes,social Media can be harmful for the Brand.So,use it well.
