What #SocialMediaWeek will show you about Nigeria
The Social Media Week is designed to more or less to explain the emerging market potentials in Social Media. #SocialMediaWeek fragments Social Media i.e. introduces it to you, helps you understand the core concept, relates what it's all about to you and get a feel of what the hype is all about.
"Social Media Week is a leading media platform & world event with local presence & global reach across 5 continents" - #SMWOrg
Why do you need to know all these? Social Media is a budding internet marketing tool that can bring your business or brand directly to the customers you require in the comfort of their work space or home space. You can talk to people directly in their comfort zone where they can meet your brand, know what you are offering and purchase. They can instead decide to share the knowledge among their circle. Solid endorsement! Curious questions like 'What is a tweet?', 'why do I need a Facebook page?', 'how can I have an interview with a London based client via Skype?'.
