We are already seeing the integration of online and offline marketing increasing rapidly. For instance receiving email regarding offer going in store to buy. Looking online for product and actually purchasing in store. Looking for reviews etc. Website is already most vital part of business. Social media are also involving with time to provide more specific purpose eg linkedin, flicker. Mobile is already changing the way we do many things. So social media isn’t something business, big or small can ignore.

There's a promise brands make when they offer links to social or mobile destinations and if it's not a good experience, then the promise is broken. Same goes for being easy to find in those channels. Consumers expect it and like standard Google search, if customers don't find your brand in social and mobile then they'll certainly find the competition.

Social Media and Mobile Device search are huge right now, and I am totally in agreement that those are things small business owners need to capitalize on. It will only give their business an advantage to have a strong social media or local search in the online space. Most of us run to our mobile devices first when it comes to online search, and we are all involved in social media in some capacity, that at times I find when I am searching for a business online, and I notice they don't have much of an online presence, it's a deal breaker!

Just read something like online retail sales are up 10% from last year's quarter which is a good sign. Potentially due to the new ways to search and shop socially. Wrote a couple posts focusing on social shopping and the Groupon-esque collective buying sites in a slideshare presentation. Blog linked to name so check it out as it might be helpful for anyone trying to do some research on new social search and social shopping trends.

People are becoming wiser in what types of advertising they belive in. Back in the day if they saw it on t.v they thought it was a good product. But now with so many ways to recieve information they are relying on there friends to help them choose. That is what social networks are doing almost bringing back the word of mouth but through the computer and other devices.

You are so right about savvy businesses benefiting from Social Media advertisements, my more adventurous clients have been enjoying the fruits of hyper-targeting…so much that now my clients with more conservative approaches can see the benefits.

May I add, the mobile marketing industry is really booming right now, it's really fun browsing the web thru small cute browsers or apps…There's so much to explore in the mobile world now, thanks to the touch screen mobiles and handheld devices, the world wide web just got bigger, better and very much accessible… =) Well, I'm pretty sure online marketers are up to the challenge of trying to put their ads or links to those tiny mobile screens…

Yes the search trend is continuing to grow and as was mentioned in the post these type of searchers are at the stage of “ready to buy” which is good news for practitioners of inbound marketing. With the increased use of hand held devices this market cannot be taken for granted.

One thing I have learned in my Marketing class is the integration of business with social media is increasing. Businesses in specific niche such as powder maker, cookies manufactures are using social media as a medium for user-generated content. Users play games, create something funny, share them on twitter or facebook. Uses have fun while businesses gain because their name, brands and images are spread out to the world.
