In this
digital era all are interconnected with social networking sites, now consumer

could be the best way to reach them rather than social networking sites?
Facebook likes, tweets, YouTube videos, blogs, pins and countless other web
applications are encouraging, influencing the people to purchase a product all
across the globe. Social networking sites have become powerful weapons for
marketers to reach their end users, and to have direct conversation to know
what exactly they want from your company. SMM will be the best way if
you integrate it with your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
As we all
know, companies need to invest lot of money and time in developing a product,
but in many cases after all the effort also the product will not reach the
customer satisfaction and the product will be the big failure. Now, with the
advent of social media, such cases can be reduced as companies can develop
successful products by using direct feedback from the customers through social
networking sites.

Networking sites not only provide the information about the new products and
services to the customers but also get direct feedback from the end users. So,
one can easily share their business services online that too at free of cost.
Companies can easily analyze reviews, comments and can understand the customer
needs. Social Networking sites directly give the platform to connect
your customers.

You need put considerable time and effort to develop contacts and links.
