Social media marketing may be a newer type of marketing, but over the last few years, it has become one of the most popular types of marketing. This is for a good reason. If you aren’t marketing your business on social media, you need to start now.
Here are some reasons why.
Social media brings attention to your business. When most people go looking for new places to try (or buy products or services from), they usually start on social media. They ask their friends for their opinion and do some research online. They look around different social media sites to make sure that you are on there (and that you are active). Not only that, but they are more likely to do business with companies who are active on at least one or two social media sites.
It doesn’t cost as much as traditional advertising. Social media is a much more affordable way to advertise your business. You can start your social media pages for free! Then, you can decide how much you want to spend (if any at all) on marketing. You can use your time to post content on social media and respond to your customers, or you can hire someone to do it for you. If you are really serious, you can spend some money to help boost your advertising.
Whether you spend a lot or nothing at all, you should get a lot of engagement through social media, giving you a lot of value for the amount of money that you spend. You can also make changes if you don’t think a certain advertisement is working as well as you wanted.
Allows contact between you and your customers. Customers also care about how they feel when they think about their business. They want to feel important. Here are some ways to do this through the power of social media.
- Comment on something that they wrote
- Only provide relevant content that interests (and engages) them
- Respond quickly to messages
- Do what you can to resolve any issues
Social media can be just what your business needs, a way to connect with your customers and show them that you truly care. It also helps that it is more affordable (and often works better) than traditional advertising!
