Hi Larry,
Excellent points! For b2b companies a blog is a nice starting point, along with having a company Facebook fan page and Twitter account. Also, communicating with current customers as well through the various social outlets…

Anyway, thanks for the comment and for reading!

I agree with you about the value of SM and SEM, but the use must be based on a clear overall marketing strategy with time allowed to build the necessary relationships. SM is often presented as a silver bullet but engagement is a key factor of success and unless the target audience engages and the company is committed, there is little value to many SM tactics/tools. It will come, but it is not there for everybody yet.

Many B2B companies are better served by starting with a blog (many don’t and it is not easy for them to start) and moving to other SM tactics over time as their success and experience grows and their markets engage.

I love your post. It is quite encouraging. I’ve trying hard at social media marketing, but am unable to get more followers. I dont know but people just don’t want to follow you. I was so discouraged at one point of time, that I thought I’ll quit…
But posts like these rekindle my hope! Thanks
