Social Media: The Conversation Marketing

Engagement is the heart, soul and mind of social media marketing. Social media has given both marketers and customers plenty of opportunities to initiate a process where customers can know brands, and brands can know their customers. This to-and-fro process establishes a healthy dialogue between brands and customers, helping customers make financial decisions. Hence, engagement lies at the core of economics associated with the social media marketing.

Through social channels, which can be used at no cost, customers can now empower themselves with smart buying decisions and can influence other potential customers as well. This influence aspect has forced marketers to focus on relevance, in terms of content, promotion and reach. Marketers, irrespective of their market size, are endorsing social media channels to engage and empower customers for better business outcome.


With social media, customers have now become aware of the mediums that can help them consume better and quality content. This content consumption has helped them grow as smart buyers. With wide exposure to online platforms, brands are now looking for options that can help them improve and stay close to the customers. Unlike traditional print marketing, social media  has made it possible for marketers to penetrate into customers' mind and influence buying decisions. However, to attain that, marketers need to be committed to the engagement. 

In social media, the essence lies in creating and maintaining stable customer conversation. Marketers cannot ignore the power social media has given to the customers. Hence, to know what customers want, marketers have to be on their toes. They cannot get away with the monologue. There has to be a continuous dialogue between brands and customers.

To conclude, engagement will help both marketers and customers achieve what they want. Marketers want numbers, and customers want quality. Engagement is the link that will bring these two close to deliver sustainable marketing situation.
