Seth Godin, our favorite and long-standing marketing guru, introduced the concept of Permission Marketing in the late 1990s. This method of marketing advocated that the most effective form of marketing is not done by random cold calling or billboards, but through creating relationships with your customers that they themselves ask for. Spring forward into the 2000s and Permission Marketing has gone viral, thanks to the invention of online social media. With platforms such as Facebook, Google+, Linkedin, Twitter, and many others, it is now possible to build real interactive relationships with your target market. Social Media Marketing not only drives traffic to your website but also builds loyalty for your brand that can pay dividends for your business’ growth.
