TOP 4 REASONS TO EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS VIA SOCIAL MARKETING

Social media marketing is here to stay and now is the time for your business to be taking advantage. Today there are over 3 billion internet users and over 2 billion of them are active on various social media accounts. The important social media sites you should be using to benefit your business are Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Here are the top 4 reasons you need to be using social media to expand and improve your business:

  1. Gain customer insights: You should be using social media to collect data about your customers in real time. Every day there are over 500 million tweets sent out and 4.5 billion likes on Facebook. Behind these tweets, posts, and likes is an abundance of information about your customers- who they are, what they’re interested in, how they behave, and how they feel about your business. Use this information to adapt, grow, and appeal to your target audience.
  2. Increase brand recognition and loyalty: Your social media networks are new channels to share your brand’s voice and content. Having a strong social media presence makes you more accessible for new customers and more recognizable for existing customers. Connecting with your customers on social is the best way to increase retention and build brand loyalty.
  3. Increase inbound traffic: One of the biggest benefits of social media is increasing website traffic. Every social media profile you add is another path leading back to your website. Without social media, your inbound traffic will be limited to individuals already familiar with your business or people searching for keywords you rank for. Not only will social media help direct users to your website, but the more social shares you receive, the higher your search ranking will be.
  4. Share content faster, easier, and for less money: For as long as marketing has been around, marketers have been working to ensure their content reaches customers in the shortest time possible. Thanks to social media sites, the sharing of your brand’s content is now instant. Using social sites as a main form of marketing is a great way to decrease your marketing costs. Posting is free, and paid advertising through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn is relatively cheap.
