<p>In the <a href="http://www.hireezy.com/index.php/1639/why-party-hire-and-party-rental-companies-should-be-natural-social-media-marketers/">previous article</a> we discussed how companies are missing out out a golden opportunity in using Social Media to create sales leads.</p>
<h2>In this article we will explain how to align Social Media to the customer buying process.</h2>
<p>The example used is a party or event rental company.</p>
<h3>Understanding the Customer Buying Process</h3>
<p>Lets go back to marketing basics. People or businesses when they are considering a party or event generally go through the following process before buying:</p>
<p>1. Look For Ideas<br />
2. Look for suppliers of equipment or services for those ideas<br />
3. Contact the supplier<br />
4. Start of normal sales process</p>
<h3>Now Align To Social Media</h3>
<h3>[table id=7 /]</h3>
<p>We are happy to provide advise to you if you are a hire or rental company.  No charge its a service we provide.  Why because our hire and rental management software comes with embedded social media marketing tools and we want people to appreciate the value of using them.</p>
