The Business Side of Social Media

Do you remember what your day was like before the use of social media? You woke up in the morning, had a cup of coffee, got ready for work and spent a very productive day (not on social media sites). Not once did anyone think to themselves, “I need to squeeze in a tweet before my 10 a.m. meeting about the delicious steak I had last night.” Today, things are much different. Facebook and Twitter have become a part of our everyday life. Social media helps us interact with our friends, share photos and reconnect with past classmates. From the business perspective, social media has the opportunity to enhance business, build relationships with potential and current clients, increase revenue and be a part of the conversation.
Here’s a test, try going a day without checking your Facebook and Twitter pages. Most people would end up checking one of them before noon. Just face it; two strong addictions, Facebook and Twitter have dominated our lives.
Even though Facebook and Twitter have become a part of our daily routine, not everyone understands how to utilize both of them for their business.
So, how can Facebook and Twitter better your business? Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Promote your services
- Build brand awareness
- Connect and engage with online communities
- Be a part of the conversation
- Build relationships with past, current and new clients
- Stay up-to-date with trends
- Easily searchable
- Link social media accounts to website
