Yes, I have coined it...in fact, I developed this term a year ago when on LinkedIN and Myspace, and then began TWEETING!
Social RELATIONSHIP Marketing (or SRM as I call it), is building a SOCIAL NETWORK from which to promote and market ...build and serve...organize and aggregate!
And it's moving faster than me, driving an official NASCAR 150 MPH around the track!
Honestly, if you're not using at least 30% of the above sites, you are behind the curve and might actually, wind up losing more than your shirt.
In this tough economy, TRADITIONAL MARKETING will NOT WORK! Newspaers, Magazines and Radio stations are laying off people by the hundreds...if not thousands. That means ad rates are going up, and service is going down.
Don't believe me? Ask the people in your office (or yourself if you are the ones placing the media) what their account rep has done for them lately? Janis Jackson said it well...NOTHING.
So, put the control back in your own hands! Either LEARN and MASTER the art of blogging, and linking to all your social networks, or PAY SOMEONE to do it for you! In the end, it will not only cost you less money, you will have built the most valuable DATABASE you could ever use to send targeted email blasts, posts and tweets!
