Bangkok businesses to take advantage of boom in social media

July 17, 2011 - PRLog -- With the news back in January that Thailand is now regarded as a booming area for social networking we are aksing what impact will that have for businesses in Bangkok and in Thailand in general.

The news will come as no great surprise really for the personal users but for businesses this opens up new markets, new clients and new marketing initiatives. Businesses in Bangkok should now be able to see that maximising the power of social networking. will undoubtedly help their business when it comes to creating brand awareness and in fact any user of social networking should be deemed as a target market for businesses.

Companies in Bangkok http://kptsocialmedia.com/current-projects should not underestimate the use of social media as a marketing tool for their business, irrespective of their industry. There are of course the main industries which use their products as so called "hot topics" such as beauty, telecoms and gadgets. However, any business can get involved with social networking and social media as long as they identify their target audience and use the marketing tools available to get their audience interested.

If you think about it, all businesses interact with their customers on a daily basis, perhaps making hundreds of calls per week, and seeing these customers on a regular basis. These are all ways in which we engage the customer and clients and social media is an extension to this, what we call the ABC -

A - Aim to engage the customer
B - Buy customer Loyalty
C - contribution by the customer.

If a business in Bangkok for example can aim to engage the customer, in effect he will use the means available, whether through Press Releases, Blogging or other media such as videos on you Tube to get the customers attention about their company or product.

Once engaged, get the customer to follow your blog, your twitter or like your facebook page or indeed subscribe to your LinkedIn page. This means that the company has a direct way of communicating relevant information to an awaiting audience.

And finally, and probably the biggest one is a contribution by the customer. Have they interacted with your business though talking to indeed buying from you. Get their testimonial or recommendation. 78% Consumers theses days will trust a recommendation whilst only 14% will trust an advert. Do the maths.

For social media in Bangkok, it is now a huge place in the marketplace that successful businesses are now being involved with. Is your business there? If so, let us know yourt thoughts on how it is working and how successful it has been.
