Where are they looking ?
The old adage of ‘be (read: advertise) where your customers are’ simply doesn’t cut it any more.
It’s all about going where your customers are looking; NOT where they are…
Yeah, customers are on facebook and twitter, but that’s not where they are looking.
Marketing and advertising on social media sites is, in most cases, as effective as billboard advertising on the freeway.
Just because people are on the freeway (twitter/facebook) doesn’t mean they are actively looking for your products…
It’s not about being where they are, it’ about being where they are looking.

Hey Pete,
Only agree with this to a certain extent.
Whilst I consider billboard advertising a useless waste of money (usually at least $60k for one month with no real way of measuring results) there are still benefits to being where your customers are.
It totally depends on the product. If done correctly, your potential customers may not even know that they needed your product until seeing your ad on Facebook or Twitter.
Cheers,
Hamish
