Why Is Social Media Marketing Important For My Business?

12 Apr Why Is Social Media Marketing Important For My Business?

Just as you would reach out to other businesses by phone or email, social media marketing is a great way to connect to potential customers who may be interested in the products or services that your business provides.  If your competitors are using social media to their advantage and you’ve noticed that they are using Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram to market their business’s services, then it’s probably time for you to start creating social campaigns that will improve your following, likes, interest and engagement. 

Getting started with social media begins with understanding how your business wants to grow, how quickly, and utilising the best social media platforms to make that happen.

What Are The Best Social Media Channels For My Niche?

If you have a B2B or B2C business, then all of the social media channels are ideal for you to grow your business, with the main reason being the popularity of these sites to advertise and market.  By using all social media platforms available to you, you will be increasing your reach online overall and each social media platform can be used in variety of ways to attract new customers. 

If you look at TikTok for example, you may find that there are videos which are engaging and fun but are very different to the website being listed on the advertiser’s profile page and quite different from the content that they are posting.  These sites are gaining leverage by posting content that people find amusing, in order to attract traffic to a webpage that they are an affiliate for or are promoting as their own product/service. 

Social media can be a great way to post educational content.  Users of TikTok might upload “how to” videos for a specific product or service.  An example of this can be seen with Kylie Cosmetics, where viewers are given regular “how to” videos on how to use a specific make-up product and posts sometimes showcase users of the product to show their various uses. This also shows how the profile is using influencers to create more engagement with its followers and help to create a sense of trust in the brand.  If you want to increase your reach, then utilising the help of influencers is a great place to start, although there is usually a charge for this service, and you will have to check with every influencer that you approach if they want to be directly involved with your brand.

The Benefits Of Social Media Marketing For Businesses

If you want to gain more likes to your Facebook page, encourage more engagement on Twitter posts or share beautifully presented posts on Instagram for your latest offer, then your effort will not be wasted.  By posting daily, your engagement and following will increase and you will be working to gain trust for your brand, as well as raising brand awareness.  Social media marketing isn’t just good for increasing your following within your social media accounts and growing your brand – it can also help you to grow within the search engines too, increasing your position within Google – search engine optimisation bonus! This is because people can link to, and share, your content and also because you’re building your brand awareness and audience through these methods.
