Why You Should Not Partake in Social Media
As often as we advocate how important social media is an integral part for businesses. There are also times we want to advise why a company MAY NOT want to get involved in social media now.
Jeff Bullas explains with the 20 reasons…
You are a traditionalist and value the “good old days”
You don’t want to be found
You don’t want to be heard
You have shares in the “Yellow Pages”
You like spending thousands on media you can’t measure
You highly value your perceived privacy
You don’t want to hear what your customers are saying
You don’t want any new customers as you are already too busy
You’re afraid people might say nasty things about you
You want to give your competition a head start
It’s a waste of your valuable time
Because its only a fad and it will go away
I like to keep things simple and it’s all a bit complex with Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and all that stuff
I am a real person and I don’t believe in those fake online social networks
Social media sites are largely populated with people who have nothing better to do with their time
Social media is at an evolutionary stage I will wait until it is more mature
I don’t want to be overexposed
If I subscribe or join I will be spammed
There is something better around the corner, I can afford to wait
Social media will reduce real face to face opportunities because I would waste my time online
