Social Media – A FASTER "Word of Mouth" Referral Network
Social media is defined as media created by the participation and contributions of real people or user generated media. Social media represents an evolution of referral-based networking. It’s nothing new; in fact, it started long ago. But people can now communicate with one another in a completely new way through the power of social networks. In essence, the engine is the people.
Maximizing the power of social media online means a mindset shift away from traditional marketing methods to new strategies of organic growth based on a people-driven network.
It is our goal to educate companies on this change!

Predicting a successful viral marketing campaign
How does WSI Social Media, powered by Yovia, define Social Velocity and predict a successful viral campaign?
The 4 C’s. Through the 4 Cs of Social Velocity (Content, Connections, Community and Conversion), WSI Social Media and the Yovia engine can predict whether something will go “viral” and determine what is necessary to help a product or service achieve organic growth.
How can WSI Social Media ensure that a client is in the best possible position before starting a social media campaign?
WSI Social Media uses Yovia technology to offer a snapshot into the community’s reception of offerings. This happens through a Social Velocity test. WSI Social Media and the Yovia engine look at the sharing of conversation, brand perception, engagement, tone of digital dialogue and relationships, and from there, we determine qualitative results. This is a measurement of the community’s involvement.
WSI Social Media, powered by Yovia, also looks at the downloads and installs, membership, real market share, sales/new leads/qualified subscribers and site ranking to determine the quantitative measurement of a potential client’s web presence.
