Businesses are looking for new ways to reach targeted audiences while at the same time being cost effective. Social media is changing the way these businesses can create and maintain a core customer relationship. Social media allows a business to engage a highly targeted audience through the use of online blogs, social networks, online publishers and even applications. A company that interacts on a personal level with its current and future clients builds a level of trust required in acquiring those customers. A company that utilizes one-way communication, for example, direct mail, spends money targeting a prospective group, but not a targeted group. Each mailing costs the company money. There is no way to gauge these campaigns for effectiveness. Utilizing social media, a company builds relationships with customers that are interested in its product and therefore is highly targeted.

In April 2009, that number increased to 46%! That means that 46% of adult internet users are now engaging in social media. A company can engage these potential customers without incurring any additional cost! Social media is still not viewed by many businesses as a requirement, but the numbers speak for themselves.
