Business and Social Media Today: You Just Can’t Live Without It

These days, Social Media has become a literal staple in marketing plans across a wide array of industries. If your business doesn’t yet have a presence, it really is time to take a hard look and determine how you can utilize these free promotional avenues. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest and a range of other content sharing websites allow you to expand your marketing reach, touch your current and future customers, and position yourself as an expert in your industry.

If you're not there, it could cause a potential client who wanted to 'look you up' to wonder why. So much research is done online before most purchases are even made; whether they are retail or service-related.

So once you create the company page and profile, what do you do then? Content - is - King.

You can utilize Social Media by creating rich content that helps to educate your target demographic before the sale, and to maintain the relationship with those you have already sold to. An overwhelming majority of people looking for goods and services, or more information about them-begin researching online. So, take charge and become the go-to for valuable information.

How Often is Often Enough?

The goal is to build a relationship, a trust if you will, between your company and the people who may consider utilizing your services someday. Be present, but don’t be irritating. For current customers that follow your pages, be sure to provide them with content they would consider insightful, or, promote other products or services they may someday purchase.

The Three S’s: Strategic, Succinct and Sharp

The way to approach that rich content will either make them never forget you or make them want to forget you. Strategic=useful. Succinct=not terribly long…web consumption is a grab and go for the most part. Sharp=get to the point, and make it matter.
