Many marketers feel that the two terms – “positioning” and “differentiation -are the same. The social media have however made these two words different. Because there is so much content, and because the networks are so viral, a marketer must be exceptionally skilful in setting his brand apart.

The marketer must clearly understand that there are distinctions between the two if he/she has to create a strong and impactful social media brand. To create a brand in the social media, a marketer must know that positioning is ‘a frame of reference’, and that differentiation is a ‘strategy of perception’. You must learn to differentiate your brand after it is positioned.

Social media are influencing the buying community in ways many have never imagined. With more profile integration than ever before, it’s important to understand how to manage your digital personality.

Using major social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ it’s easy to develop and project a unique personality of your brand and position it adequately. You must then think of ways to distinguish your brand from the rest.

Social media pages are not meant for directly getting customers. Their role is attracting prospects which have the ability to become customers in due course. With the right engagement tools and posts such people can be buffered as future clients. Moreover due to tremendous increase in social media, they have been added as crawlers in organic searches.

Yes it matters, most people knows that businesses that uses social media for marketing are open to anyone, it doesnt have any target audience. How ever if you are thinking about a prestige brand such as Rolex or Mercedes Benz they wouldnt use social media for marketing, not directly. They always use Telivision, Newspaper, Magazine and official Youtube channel. Your marketing platform and medium does adds value to your brand and makes it exclusive from others.
