Social Media Marketing for Your Business

One of the main things my business does is help other small business with their social media marketing. It has come as a surprise that many small business owners have not taken advantage of the full potential of social media marketing. I always tell people that using social media as advertising is no longer a thing of the future, and that today is the day to act. Here are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to social media:

Facebook is not enough.  There are a lot of businesses out there that have a Facebook page that they update every couple of months or so.  I love Facebook as a tool, because it can give you key demographic information and the results you get from Facebook are measurable.  You can get a good idea of what your followers like the most by tracking what posts are viewed the most, and what your customers think about your business or product.  With that said, there are newer ways to reach out to potential customers such as location based social media.  Location based media works with smartphones to track via GPS when your followers "check in" to your business, and you can reward them with incentives.  Some creative incentives for a bar or restarant might be if you have ten users "checked in" at the same time, drinks are 50% off.

This is just the tip of the iceburg, and it can take a long time to become an expert in social media.  Most small business owners do not have that kind of time, and that is where I come in.  I can work with your company and use the social media platforms that make the most sense for your business.  I would then be able to make postings for you, track key demographic information, and make recommendations based on the information I get.  I can work with any business via email or teleconferencing, and my services are very affordable.  In many cases if I can get you one or two customers a week my services pay for itself by far.

  1. Hey, you have wonderfully explained the things here. The internet is yet another common tool that is used in marketing. The internet helps the company get in touch with millions of people, and at the same time, gain brand name attention amongst all these individuals.

  2. social media marketing uses a range of techniques and approaches,commonly known as a 'marketing mix', to change people's behaviour in a clearlydefined and positive way. Its aim is to achieve a particular 'social good',rather than commercial benefits - even though it uses many of the same methods as commercial advertising and marketing.
