Increasing your marketing effort through social networking?  

Let’s see, Twitter, Facebook, Linked In etc, etc.    It can be overwhelming and a lot to manage, can’t it?   But properly focused on your market niche, social networking is second only to referrals as the most cost effective means of marketing.   Your forum, as a part of the VR SAM® National Military Community Forum, allows you to communicate your message to Military Families moving to and from your local military installation.  It positions YOU as the local military relocation expert!  Does that sound like a focused market niche to you?

If you are willing to invest a small amount of time weekly to write short posts of interest (known as building content) about your local market, you WILL see hits to your site increase.  Hey, it beats the big bucks for print ad that ends up in the trash!  “If you post it, they will come…and come back again!”   

How can you be sure?   Well, the success of the VR SAM® National Military Community Forum is proof.   It was built on nothing more or less.  The difference is that the structure is already there for you to use and the site’s already strong internet presence and search engine rankings mean that you don’t start from scratch! 

Not sure what to write?  No problem.  Just peruse the VR SAM® National Military Community Forum to get ideas.   And while you are there, please note the number of posts and page views.  Note that the page views you see on this forum, many in the hundreds, are only those that have hit since we merged the forums in August 2009.  Also, you can ask your fellow business partners to participate in this forum and add your clients’ testimonials.  So, what message do you want to send to your market?

When perusing the forum, note that each post has the VR SAM® signature with our phone number and links to our email and web site.   Your forum will of course have your signature, contact information, and link to your site.  Also note, your forum gives your readers options to send these posts via email to friends, send to facebook, twitter, or my space accounts.  They can also subscribe via email (RSS) to any further posts from you.   All of this relates to tons of visibility for your business and generates leads, and more business.  And it is included in the very reasonable price for your exclusive ad on your chosen installation/s.  
Want to collect information from your readers?   The forum gives you the capability to conduct polls as well! 

Still a bit intimidated by this social networking?   Don’t worry.  When you sign up for this offer, we will send you periodic tips on how to use the forum and will answer any questions you may have.
