Social Media Marketing Expertise Offered by OurNEWSCafe.com
The social and media landscapes across the United States have been changing for years, and continue to change even faster than before, creating marketing challenges for small businesses across the country. Traditional media such as newspapers, television, shoppers, and radio continue to see the scope of their reach reduced. The audience share of TV and radio stations continue to decline nationwide, and newspaper paid circulation follows that trend. Yellow-Page-style books are following suit and either going longer periods between publishing due to usage degradation, or closing.
Of course, the leading catalyst of these changes is the advent of the Internet. Most of the traditional media have their own Web sites, and offer only sponsor logos and static banner and tile advertising. Unfortunately, this alone falls far short of intercepting the way people are actually using the Web today to make purchasing decisions and interact on a social level with one another. Some of the key components of developing a Web strategy that works include Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and there is actually much more than that.
Hence, the creation of OurNEWSCafe.com, which provides the missing links for the small business owner to reach the increasing number of people who are utilizing digital devices to receive the information they want and need. Social media marketing, one of the most important missing links, is one of the small-business-oriented services offered by OurNewsCafe.com.

Consumers use search engines 72% more than they did two years ago, when a similar survey was conducted, the e survey found. Source: Nielsen Online/WebVisible survey, Feb. 2009
