Social Marketing on myspace

[adam1987]

Late last year I had a client which wanted a website for there beauty salon, there budget was pretty small around £400, I created them a online booking system etc... But the bottom line was hardly anyone would find the website without spending money on some SEO and even then probably wouldn’t want to book online.

So my BIG idea was that i made them a myspace page, nice pretty layout advertising there salon and services etc.. a few days went buy a few new friends added, then the salon owner started using the myspace search option to find "friends" searchable by postcode... so she spent a day or two adding local friends (protential clients) now... this clients myspace page has over 500 friends and they receive loads of messages daily of bookings and enquires and has turned out to be quite a success.

This might not work for your business but if u have the right business and target audience i cant see why not !!

I agree...brilliant idea!

Excellent idea, but what's more - it's an excellent story.

the smart thing to do now would be to tell the story to the local press.

Can we see the myspace page? I'd like to see the design.

link sent, im sure your site would benefit from a myspace page, also read that "MySpace driving more retail traffic than MSN search (http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/08/31/myspace-driving-more-online-retail-than-msn-search-2/)"

It is a brilliant idea.

I have a Myspace and make big mention of my website, and get some hits through my blog - I'd love a customised front page - I've never known how to it though.

Can you send me the link to this myspace?
