Sysomos Launches Business Library for Social Media

TORONTO--(Marketwire - July 29, 2011) - Sysomos is introducing its online content resource and business library, designed to help professionals in many disciplines leverage the power of social media and social media monitoring. The Sysomos business library for social media provides access to white papers, reports and webinars, and features use case examples, application ideas and other unique content for those responsible for product development, customer service and sales, and professionals in digital, public relations and marketing agencies.

According to TechCrunch, Twitter users collectively send a billion tweets each week, and average 140 million tweets per day (up from 50 million tweets per day a year ago), with an average of 460,000 new Twitter accounts created every day. Facebook(R) has more than 500 million active users -- representing one out of every 13 people on earth -- with half logged in on any given day. Faced with these numbers, professionals of every discipline are beginning to recognize the value of listening to and engaging in the social stream. Social media is typically regarded as a channel to be owned by the communications or customer service teams within an organization, but as participation in social networks increases, and greater opportunities for brand awareness, sales and reputation management arise, it's increasingly important that social media engagement becomes a shared responsibility across an organization.

The Sysomos business library for social media was developed with input from some of today's leading experts on social media, customer service, sales, product development and digital communications. The content within the library is organized according to application and professional discipline: Campaign Promotion and Management, Customer Service, Product and Offer Development, Sales, and Agency Resources.

Titles from the library include:


The Market Has a Memory: How to Leverage it for your Next New Product Development Initiative (white paper)
Social Media: Your Marketing and Promotional Campaign Compass (white paper)
Building a Business Case for Social Media. A Guidebook to the Benefits of Social Media and How to Sell it to the C-Suite (white paper)
Tapping the Flow: Generating Sales Leads Through the Social Stream (webinar)
Four Social Media Monitoring Service Models for Agencies (white paper)
Social Media Statistics: Changes in the Social Sphere from 2009 to 2011 (report)
