Social Media Marketing

Well, the answer is social media and social media marketing mean different things to different people. For tourism businesses, however, it means a gold mine of clients or a well of despair. What it is, depends on how you manage it, and how you show yourself, in the massive online world of reviews, comments and photos. There is a growing list of platforms that come under the term, social media.

Google Business & Tripadvisor

The term, social media, generally refers to the social discussion of topics, rather than the professional reviews in trade magazines, that were the norm of the past. Anyone can write anything, it is a free world. Due to this it is necessary to manage and control the various platforms where your property appears in a search on the site. Most of these platforms, including Google Business and Tripadvisor allow you to claim your business listed with them and it is necessary to do so to present the correct view of your property, as well as to deal with comments, both negative and positive. This is where these two platforms are included in the Social Media Marketing section, as they have open comments, as well as being platforms to sell rooms and food in your restaurants.

Facebook and Instagram

Others such as the ubiquitous Facebook, seem on the front of it, to be just solely social media platforms, however, the underlying business model is income generated from advertising. This is the most powerful marketing platform in the world for your business, you just need to understand it and take advantage of it. There are direct sales tools built into the Facebook platform that can drive business to you as well as manage the completion of the sale.
