If you dont have better things to do than waste my time by sending me inappropriate pictures instead of your “red toyota camri”…followed by “lemme know what you think”, then be prepared to get a “HAHAHA! You’re joking right? Nah, its clearly TOO small. Microscopic even. It just wont do. Sorry buddy”, as a reply. Good day!

Advantages of Social Media Advertising For Small Businesses

Click picture for direct link to the sample site I put together for  ”Who Framed Me?: Handmade picture frames for all occasions!”

In my previous post entitled Social Media Overview Presentation, I spoke about the  internet as the best advertising medium (emphasizing it’s benefit for small businesses), and how blogs/sites can be a one-stop-platform for multiple social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.

I recently put together a sample blog for a friend of mine, who’s hand-crafted and customizable hand-crafted frames  ”Who Framed Me?, needed a boost in the marketing department.

Who Framed Me? has an online page in Etsy (a well-known online shop for vintage and handmade crafts) for sales, as well as aFacebook Page to create a buzz. However, I suggested that she needed a blog or website to integrate multiple pages into one, to increase the chances of online-visibility and sales.

Small businesses like Who Framed Me? can thrive online, by reaching MORE audience, than a small boutique would in person. Not to mention, a business can save thousands of money by paying $18 a year to maintain a website domain, than to rent an actual store, which has no guarantees of being flocked by customers. WordPress users know they can have a blog/site for FREE, with the same if not a little bit more effort to maintain a Facebook account. You DON’T have to be a web designer to create a site, its just in the matter of time & effort you put on your site, it’s contents and deliverance.

In a matter of days, the sample site I’ve created already has a handful of “followers” and viewers! Although, with an url like “advantagesofsocialmediaadvertising.worpress.com“, I’m attracting an online-marketing niche rather than customers lol, but if Who Framed Me? had it’s own url–like http://www.whoframedmegifts.com or something similar; it would still target a large niche of hand-made or personalized gifts.
