Should Pune Use Social Media?

I believe that the everyone can benefit from social media if its used responsibly. So my answer is yes. I love this topic because it gave me a fair idea of what my city of Pune, Maharshtra is doing with social media.

Social media outlets such as Facebook, twitter and YouTube help benefit the youth at large. For instance, on Facebook there’s not only a group for alumni of my high school and alumni of my YEAR in high school, but also a group of alumni of my high School Science Teacher. There are also several Schools these days that use such social media outlets to form a club or community for people to follow. Another good use of social media outlet (Twitter) would be to manage Admissions which could be also used to advertise things going on around campus or in the community, or events open to the community.

In my previous blogs about fast food chains I mentioned Pizza Hut as a good example for franchising. Well how is it so successful, here's the story. Pizza Hut has created its own community, using the internet and their website to allow people to place an order for delivery. Pizza Hut could benefit more further if they also use Twitter to post about lunch specials, daily specials, coupons, new promotions, new menu items, and so on. It could bring them more customers, or repeat customers who may not always think about going out for lunch. A coupon or special might entice me to get out to The Hut for lunch.

Most companies these days use social media and its various tools to maximize their business efforts. Social media gives people a way to connect locally which is more important now than it ever was. So returning to my question, my answer is yes Pune should use social media. I surely do want to know whats happening in Pune and get relevant updates from the social services. Social media is definitely a neat idea.
