Components of Social Media Marketing

First, we have to look at types of Markets and Buyers to prepare for Social Media Marketing. They are:

• Virgin Markets: Nobody is fulfilling this Market needs.
• Undeserved Markets: Only few providers are there for satisfying this Market needs.
• Emerging Markets: It is a new Market and the needs are known. They will grow bigger with time.
• Mature Markets: Needs are well known and many are competitively fulfilling their needs.
• Declining Markets: Original needs are becoming obsolete and volumes are going down.
• Latent Markets: Needs are not known. Needs are to be created, discovered and fulfilled by you.

What type of Markets are you serving?

Have a “Brainstorming Session” to decide. For growing your Small Business, it is advisable to be in Virgin, Undeserved, Emerging and/or Latent Markets. Once this choice(s) is made, you need to look at who are the potential Buyers in chosen Markets.
