Social Media Marketing you say? In the Insurance Industry you say? We say, "HECK YES!" Creating and maintaining an active and effective social media presence is hard work. There are countless hours that you slave over your computer, AFTER your agency has closed its doors and turned on the batphone for late night claims. In those same 10 hours you put into stumbling around Facebook, and maybe LinkedIn, filling out the bare minimum profile requirements, Transformer Marketing can do that and more. We are the experts of social media marketing, and we pride ourselves on knowing everything Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter has to offer. There are different aspects to each social platform. With Facebook and LinkedIn, once you create your personal profiles, you can build a company page to interact with and gain followers or people that "Like" your business. These are people that may or may not be connected to your personal profile in any way, which is a good thing! Having a company page is like having a goldmine when it comes to building a brand. The more people that connect to your company page, the more reputation you gain, the more your brand sticks out in a prospects mind when they need that great Insurance Professional. For Twitter, hash tags (#) are all the rave. Do you have a very specific target audience you are trying to reach? How about #Retirement or, #Auto possibly, #WorkersComp? You know how only 10% of the iceberg is above the water? The same goes for Twitter, most people do not realize what a full blown Twitter assault can do for their company.

I have been working the last few months on quite a few projects, but one that keeps popping up is how to leverage Social Media to attract new business. Some of the tactics I've used: 1. Following an MD on Twitter. I have not had much success, b/c the only MD's using Twitter seem to be about self-promoting their book or other product(s). 2. Facebook. Have had minimal success here as well........FB advertising is not very robust so it's hard to target a specific audience. 3. Other online sites.....KevinMD.com. I've had decent success here, it seems that some of the users here are willing to discuss, but you have to be tactful, b/c this is a great site and for the most part, I only want to add my 2 cents.....which will eventually turn into a sale. What have you tried? Any tips or tricks?
