Five reasons why every business needs to embrace social media marketing are:
Social media marketing has broken down communication barriers and now allows you to talk to prospects and customers, never like before.
1. It’s almost free
Many popular social media sites are almost free and ready to use. Still, it requires a “long-term strategy”; you need continuous commitment to update the content to keep customers entertained and informed, which takes up your valuable time.
2. Build closer and more personal relationships
Social media lends itself perfectly to connecting you with other people just as passionate about a particular industry. As a result, the audience you develop through social media will be more loyal and feel more connected to your business. Communicate with them personally; some may even become ambassadors or evangelists for your business.
3. Improved customer insights
Social media also allows you to gain valuable information about what your customers are interested in and how they behave. You can monitor what they think of your business by reading their tweets or status updates. You can segment your content syndication lists based on topic and see which types generate the most interest—and then produce more of that type of content.
4. It helps you make more sales
Whenever you are communicating through a social platform, you are helping to build a little more awareness about yourself, especially if you have something truly interesting or exclusive to report. The more online publicity you get, inbound links you attract, journalists/bloggers you bond with etc… the more web traffic you get and, therefore, the more likely you are to increase sales.
5. Improve customer service
With so many people spending time on social media sites, you should be available to provide customer service via these outlets. If there’s a problem with your product or service, you want to know about it immediately, and through social media, you can respond to issues promptly. If somebody has a question, make sure you have an answer. If somebody sends a tweet about your company, good or bad, address it promptly.
