Amdocs SMB Social Experience Solution Get social with your SMB customers
smb social experience solution In today s connected world, businesses with a strong social media presence have the advantage of staying way ahead of the competition. But creating and maintaining social media channels is a challenge, especially for small and medium businesses (SMBs) that often don t have the resources, time, or know-how to promote themselves effectively through social media. This creates exciting opportunities for SMB marketing service providers and publishers to extend their social media offerings and become scalable marketing services agencies for their SMBs. The SMB Challenge More than ever before, SMBs understand the power of social media. They know they need to promote themselves to a wider audience through an effective social media presence. Market research indicates that SMBs also recognize the upside of social media as the enabler to interact with and retain existing customers, as well as acquire new prospects and generate leads through social media communication channels, advertising campaigns, coupons and promotions. The evidence is clear: building and maintaining effective scalable social media marketing capabilities isn t easy. The majority of SMBs lack the ability and experience to handle it as it requires much more than just setting up a Facebook page. They need to monitor and frequently update dynamic content in order to increase traffic, stimulate new business, and keep their existing customers excited and interested. A variety of social media agency options are available today. However, they are too expensive for many SMBs and typically don t address the specific challenges of SMBs who ultimately neglect social media opportunities and stagnate in the market. 2
Scaling the SMB Opportunity Many marketing service providers and publishers have a social media strategy which incorporates the introduction and maintenance of basic social media products to specific customer segments. But there s still a great growth opportunity for publishers to scale social media services in order to attract new customers and drive revenues.

Many of today s solutions won t scale to the market expansion opportunity available to SMB marketing service providers and publishers, creating a major challenge for growth.
