As a result of the
development of communication technologies, the tools by which brands can
communicate for public relations and advertising activities are increasing and
diversifying day by day. The social media tools that enter our lives with the
concept of Web 2.0 that emerged in the early 2000s are attracting attention as
a very powerful means of communication on behalf of brands and having more
users than the population of many countries today. The social media tools that
come to the forefront with the possibility of being less costly than the
traditional communication tools and enabling the two-way communication are
preferred by the brands at the point of reaching the right target group in a
shorter time.
Social media tools
have become a advertising space that can be used as a public relation and
advertising medium with the advantages that are provided to the individuals as
well as the advantages brought to the brand. In the construction sector,
companies that are affected by all these developments have started to use
social media as a tool to reach their target mass. In this study, Facebook
accounts of the construction companies in Konya were examined by content
analysis method and evaluated from the perspective of public relations. According
to the findings, it was found that the construction companies in the study
showed similarities in terms of the frequency of sharing on Facebook, the days
they chose to share and the preferences of responding to the comments made on
Facebook, the differences in the interaction rates of Facebook shares, the
diversity of the shares and the purposes of their use.
