    What is Social Media & Why Do I Need It:

    Even the most forward-thinking of marketing personnel could not have predicted the shift that Social Media would bring to the business-to-consumer and business-to-business relationship.

    Social media, plainly defined is the engaging conversations between members of online communities such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook which shape the way that others view certain ideas and subjects. Social media has brought the consumer to the frontlines, given them the microphone, and listens to what they have to say. Why? Because the general public knows that the average consumer does not have a payroll or agenda to protect. If a fellow consumer tells you that the new restaurant in town has horrible service and subpar food—it probably does. Social media has truly brought the power to the people.

    Instead of huge marketing firms leading today’s consumers to purchase specific products and services through million-dollar advertising campaigns and savvy marketing teams, today’s consumer IS your marketing team.
    Many companies have been slow to climb aboard the Social Media experience, thinking that it would pass or that their traditional marketing methods would continue to work. 

    The truth is that your clients are discussing your products and services whether you want to join the conversation or not. Social media is here to stay and the time to get onboard is NOW.

    Leveraging the Power of Social Media:

    Social media has the lightning fast ability to reach hundreds of thousands of consumers and drive them directly to your door. Whether your company is a brick-and-mortar business or an online store The Direct Shopper will provide you with a revolutionary and cost effective Advertising and Marketing Solution that will fit your exact needs.

    You have a business to run. You don’t have time to learn how to create a powerful web presence and an influential online voice--The Direct Shopper does. With our proven and effective marketing strategies, The Direct Shopper will provide you with the online platform you need to reach your neighborhood, your community and beyond.

    Connecting Consumers and Businesses Online – That’s what we do:

    Today’s consumers are smart, thrifty and want their information right now. They are talking to each other online and it’s time for you to join in on the conversation.

    The power of social media is unparalleled. Just think, in today’s society if you place an ad in your local yellow pages costing you over $1,000, the information cycle would go something like this:

    Your order would be placed, the ad would be designed, and four months later the new phone directory would be delivered. Of the people that receive one, 30% of them have decided to go green. They place the book directly in their recycle bin without ever using it. Why should they? The entire world is at their fingertips, online. Of the remaining 70% who place the book in a closet or cupboard, you’ll have to wait until they get the idea in their head to use the yellow pages to look up your type of business. Once they do, there are twenty other competitors placed neatly right beside you. One consumer – twenty choices: The odds don’t seem stacked in your favor.

    On the other hand, knowing that today’s consumers are looking for the best of the best, you develop a partnership with The Direct Shopper. This leads to an online presence instantly accessible by your potential customers. Implement the combination of coupons, online traffic and social media and you will no longer have to rely on that one person picking up their yellow pages. Now, you will become the topic of natural online conversation. Consumers on Twitter will say, “Have you used your coupon for [insert your business name here]? They are having a buy one get one free sale. I was there today, and it was awesome.” That one message will be seen by thousands of potential customers that can easily give you a return on your advertising investment in one day. Get the picture?

    The Direct Shopper has the tools you need to dominate the Social Media market.
