SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Linked Media Group (OTC: LKMG) announces a 31 for 1 stock dividend today that will reflect in the share price on Thursday, April 16th 2009. LKMG CEO, Lee Traupel, has spent a good portion of the past few months structuring his business from the inside out, taking steps necessary to position his company as a Market Leader. Part of this process included the decision to dividend current stock holders, while bringing the share price to a point which should attract a wider range of investors.
This was done in tandem with a facelift to the company’s website, www.linkedmediagroup.com where it’s made clear that Linked Media Group is a company providing much needed services to companies around the world. LKMG’s primary services include a comprehensive selection of online advertising services with emphasis on search engine marketing (SEO) and social media marketing services, taking the client from strategy to an impactful execution. Traupel feels the new website should prove as a cleaner, user-friendly, online headquarters for Linked Media Group.
Traupel comments, “Previously we were a behind-the-scenes type company for niche clients and our web site was functional and effective to that end; but, social media marketing (SMM) has become paramount to virtually every business model in the last few months. It’s not just the tech-savvy we’re being approached by anymore – it’s everyone from everywhere; and though many companies may not understand the ins and outs of SMM, its benefits are as old as marketing itself. We’re here to make sure every company has the ability to make the most of an SMM campaign to suit their needs.”
According to the Social Media Marketing Research Report 2009, “The number-one benefit of social media marketing is gaining the all-important eyeball. A significant 81% of all marketers indicated that their social media efforts have generated exposure for their businesses. Improving traffic and growing lists was the second major benefit, followed by building new partnerships.”
Traupel continues, “SMM is an explosive trend that isn’t going away and Linked Media Group is poised to take the reigns in this arena as overall demand far outweighs quality supply that is inherent to our company’s services and abilities.” With this, comes the inevitable need to expand. “It’s no secret that company growth can be positively affected by an increase in common shareholders and I believe the dividend is a great first step in achieving this exposure. In turn, I plan to positively affect all of our shareholders with continued success in an industry that has just come to light to the general public,” Traupel concludes.
The Social Media Marketing Research Report 2009 confirms this as it states, “A significant 88% of marketers surveyed are using social media to market their businesses, BUT 72% have only
been doing so for a few months or less.”
