Denna uppsats behandlar de förväntningar mikroföretag inom turismbranschen har på sociala medier som ett marknadsföringsverktyg. Mikroföretag har inte alltid samma marknadsföringsresurser eller förutsättningar som större företag har att marknadsföra sig. För mikroföretag kan sociala medier vara ett bra komplement för att visa sig då tekniken är relativt enkel men också lättillgänglig. Sociala medier kan hjälpa mikroföretag inom turismnäringen att öka sina möjligheter att nå till kunder på ett mer kostnadsfritt sätt. I denna studie valdes tre mikroföretag inom turismsektorn för att studera syftet. Representanterna från dessa företag intervjuades om deras användning, publicering och betydelse av sociala medier. En innehållsanalys har även gjorts där en analys av företagens sociala medier gjordes och en litteraturgenomgång för att se vilka marknadsföringsmöjligheter sociala medier kan ge för mikroföretag. Resultatet av studien visar att dessa tre mikroföretagen förstår att sociala medier är ett viktigt verktyg för dem när det gäller marknadsföring. Att deras förväntningar på användandet av sociala medier är att det är lättillgängligt, enkelt att använda och kostnadseffektivt på grund av att de har få resurser till att lägga på marknadsföring. Dock framförallt också att det är enkelt att nå ut till potentiella kunder än med traditionell marknadsföring. / This paper deals with the expectations of microenterprises in the tourism industry on social media as a marketing tool. Micro companies do not always have the same marketing resources or conditions that larger companies have to market themselves. For microenterprises, social media can be a good complement to prove itself as the technology is relatively simple but also easily accessible. Social media can help microbusinesses in the tourism industry to increase their opportunities to reach out to customers in a more cost-effective way. In this study, three micro companies in the tourism sector were selected to study the purpose. The representatives of these companies were interviewed about their use, publication and importance of social media. A content analysis has also been done where an analysis of corporate social media was made and a literature review to see what marketing opportunities social media can provide for microenterprises. The result of the study shows that these three microenterprises understood that social media is an important tool for them when it comes to marketing. That their expectations of the use of social media is that it is easily accessible, easy to use and cost-effective because they have few resources to put on marketing. However, above all, it is also easy to reach out to potential customers than with traditional marketing.

The advent of social media has witnessed a transformation in how audiences interact with marketers online. While previous research has shown that media consumers generally hold a negative view of advertising, today’s media consumers are engaging with brands more than ever. This study examines what it means to be an active fan of marketers in social media to the modern media consumer through an investigation of how audiences relate to brands in the social media space. Centered around audiences’ uses and gratifications of three successful brand communities within Facebook through qualitative (field observations and individual interviews) and quantitative (surveys) methods, this study intends to gain further knowledge about the role of social media and its impact on forming new cultural trends. The findings suggest that while the uses and gratifications of Facebook brand pages and what becoming a fan of a brand on Facebook signifies to social media users vary, the prevailing motivation for and function of brand community membership is the construction of one’s digital identity in association with the brands of one’s choosing. Furthermore, despite being aware that Facebook brand communities are marketing platforms, fans were largely receptive to and held a positive attitude towards the brands. This critical study of brand fans on Facebook presents the importance of studying social media’s uses and implications in order to better understand new audience cultures within the interactive media landscape.
