Are you considering Tweeting?<\/p>\n
Twitter may be the latest and greatest social network, and unsurprisingly, its users are from the\u00a0“younger” crowd. But the irony of the matter is that\u00a0even the Baby Boomers<\/a>\u00a0can’t get enough social media.<\/p>\n There’s\u00a0not an industry,\u00a0demographic or even loosely organized group of people who are not either involved with, or at least interested in, social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n Social media works on a personal level\u00a0(joining an online group that has a similar hobby, keeping in touch with close friends, etc.)… but it’s also important to professionals and their industries. <\/p>\n Some people may wonder why websites like eDrugstore provide social media outlets. Why\u00a0would people who buy online medications benefit from social media? The answer is two-fold. The first reason is to stay informed… they can sign up, for instance, to follow eDrugstore on Twitter and be alerted about monthly specials or contests, for example. <\/p>\n And,\u00a0visitors to our website\u00a0might also find that signing up for social media websites\/outlets (YouTube, Flickr, FaceBook, Slideshare, Twitter, etc.) through eDrugstore allows them to converse with consumers who are looking for the same medications, or who suffer from the same conditions as other consumers who visit our website.<\/p>\n Not only can consumers benefit from social media on eDrugstore, we utilize social media in our own unique ways to communicate with other marketing professionals, search-engine-optimization companies, and so on, and so on.\u00a0<\/p>\n There’s an interactive community for everyone. If you haven’t checked out all of the social media sites listed above, take\u00a0a peek and see what they’re all about. Maybe even… consider… Twitter. Sign up to follow eDrugstore<\/a> and we’ll keep you posted with periodic specials.<\/p>\n Everyone is doing social media these days,\u00a0even doctors. You\u00a0might think they would be set in their ways and more likely to network in more established networks. But\u00a0they\u00a0realize the benefits of conversing and sharing information through online social networks like sermo.com<\/a>, doctorshangout.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0ozmosis.com. <\/p>\n The ease through which information can be shared globally, and the sheer amount of information that is available, make social networking an incredible force.\u00a0The snowball effect that takes place is a good thing. The more information that doctors and other specialists\u00a0make available online, the more information that patients can share within their social networks, etc.<\/p>\n Even big pharmaceutical companies such as Sanofi-Aventis and AstraZeneca\u00a0have launched channels on YouTube so that they could interact directly with their customers. <\/p>\n Building these types of communities, accessible in an instant, strengthens trust and loyalty. Social media provides positive branding and helps forge new relationships. It provides an outlet for more interaction and feedback. <\/p>\n And it’s just as rewarding for Baby Boomers, as it is for doctors, as it is for young Twitterers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you considering Tweeting?
