Has Social Media changed the rules of the game

Sachendra Yadav has posted this question on LinkedIn and collected the responses on his blog. For me the rule of the game remains the same and for me there is no thing such as social media marketing. I belive connecting with customers and social media is just another tool, very powerful but still a tool.

Marketing overall remains the same, conveying your poroducts and services to your customers. But when TV came it shook up the marketers who didn’t knew the complexity of this medium and now when Social Media is making the buzz, it’s a challenge again for the marketers to learn about the tremendous complexities of this medium and the people consuming this medium.

Instead of re-inventing the products and re-inventing the relationships with the customers - we are focusssing too much on marketing and that too the tool of marketing i.e Social Media. The need is also to identify your customers - potential and current and to understand their environment. TV & Internet are not just medium - they are environments and these environment are evolving at a supersonic speed.

Do you know the environment and it’s habitants ?
