Power of Social Media in Business The topic I chose to conduct my research paper on is the impact or the power social media has on business. The reason I selected this topic is because social media has become very popular among people today. In addition, many businesses have incorporated the use of social media sites to publicize, communicate, advertise, and promote their companies. The use of social media in businesses have been met with many opposing forces, but the purpose of my paper will be to focus on all the positive impacts social media has in the business world. Should the power of social media in business be considered to have negative impact on companies? This is an important question to me because I use social media sites all the time. In my opinion the use of social media does not impact businesses negatively and as a result I intend on presenting a paper that will bring a positive light to those that oppose social media being used in business. In order to present my reasoning I will have to conduct research to obtain background information on businesses and the impact social media has on their productivity.

...companys social media marketing has become a very important strategic operation within the last years due to the changing habits of the population. More than one billion people worldwide are using facebook actively nowadays and the number is still increasing. (Chart no. 1: (Brandt, 2012, Statista)). Therefore companys need to adopt to this dramatic change in communication and have to be present on social platforms, to stay in customer contact and build relationships (Edelman, D.C. (2010), “Branding in the digital age“). This term paper deals with the question wheater social media marketing is an opportunity or threat for Mc Donalds, in particular Mc Donalds Germany. Although social media is a must-have for companys nowadays and nearly twenty thousand firms have a facebook page for their business, social media could be a threat for companys. Especially fast food restaurants are often criticised by protestants and social platforms are perfect places to make their criticism public. So businesses need to evaluate wheather social media is an opportunity or threat for their performance. My thesis statement is that social media marketing is very effective for companys as well as for Mc Donalds and possible threats do not represent a serious danger for them. Importance of social media for companys nowadays Social media marketing is a type of onlinemarketing, where companys use social media for several purposes.

More and more consumers are using the internet and social media websites to make purchases. Some businesses don’t even advertise in the newspaper anymore or use circulars. It is cheaper for them to go to the internet and use social media websites and they also reach more people. This is definitely the future for businesses. With the success that Pepsi had, I can see more and more businesses doing this in the near future. Reasons social media marketing has become exceedingly popular among businesses More than 66% of small businesses plan to invest as much or more in digital marketing, such as websites, social media and online advertisements, as they did last year. These results were from the 2013 AT&T Small Business Technology Poll, with 1,000 businesses replying to this poll (Eddy, 2013).

...The business I have decided to use in this study is a family members Jumping Balloon business. I decided on this business because at this time he does not have an online presence. His main source of marketing is word of mouth and other traditional methods of advertising. The main method of advertising, other than word of mouth is the use of flyers on car windshields and door to door cold calls. Viability I believe that with the right online presence, the business could increase return customers, expand its current core business market, and also reach new customers. The business could also expand into other areas of the party rental business to include the sale of decorations, the sale of invitations, ice, table and chair rentals and possibly catering. These changes to the business’s way of marketing could take it from a seasonal business to a year round business, increasing revenue without a substantial outlay of capital for marketing. The market demand for this service is seasonal, but strong. With the right online presence and marketing strategy this business has the potential to do very well. By implementing an inexpensive, but well designed and thought out web site there every reason to believe that this company will have the potential to increase revenue and expand services. This type of business is not viable for global sales, but because of the proximity to the Mexican border international sales is a strong possibility. A web site provides 24 hour access...

...Perception of Media “Many choices reflect your hopes and not your fears”. Some will argue that we make choices based on the moment and in fear. I believe that if we want to be heard, you have to make choices that will leave a mark on you, but in the long run, you will reach your destination. Some of the greatest influences in the world had to go to extreme measure to get want they wanted. In author Sultana Yusufali “My body is my own business” readers should learn that when we perceive ourselves as independent and proud individuals, we make choices that impact other in a positive way. While perception is essential to making and overcoming choices, so is confronting the truth of our own fears. In Sultana’s “My body is my own business” she sees a hijab is nothing but a tiny piece of clothing that covers the face of a woman; it is also a way for Muslim women to respect and honor their tradition. It is, in her eyes, an accepted part of her culture. However, many people from the Western civilization may see it differently. Some believe that the hijab is forced among Muslim women and that they have no choice but to wear it. Others believe that the hijab is a way of Muslim men to hide Muslim women’s beauty. She strongly expresses her feeling on how the world sees her as an “Oppressed female” because of the choices she makes. Nowadays in the world, the hijab and multiple things are causing controversy in the media. The world makes the hijab seem like girls are forced to cover...

...| Informative SpeechJune 6, 2015 | Professional use of social media By How many of you all have a Facebook account? What about a Twitter account? In today’s world, 56% of people check Facebook daily, there are 120,000 tweets sent every second, 64% of Twitter users and 51% of Facebook users are more likely to buy the products of brands they follow online. They are over 150 industries and over 200,000 organizations on LinkedIn. Social media tools offer unique opportunities for change and productivity. Today, I will be discussing how professional use of social media allows us students to network with professional and personal connections, help with job searching and build our online presence and brand. First off, when I think about social media being used professionally, the first thing that lights a bulb in my head, is LinkedIn. LinkedIn allows you to connect with classmates, faculty, and family professionally. You can also find new opportunities for internships and full time positions. You can manage what potential employers learn about you from the internet. It allows you to research the company you may choose to work for. Let’s be clear about something though, LinkedIn is not the place to post party photos or what you ate for breakfast this morning. I mean, I highly doubt your future employer cares about that. LinkedIn gives you the keys to controlling your online identity. Secondly, since the job market today is pretty much an ocean with a lot of fishes, one should find...
