How Effective Is Your Social Circle?
There's no argument that social media is changing the way the world works. To say that social media websites like Facebook and Twitter are modern day 'word of mouth on steroids' is almost an understatement. And you can guarantee that if you have a local business, people on social media are talking about YOU.
What Are People Saying?
Facebook, Youtube and Twitter are the 2nd, 3rd and 9th most visited websites in the world respectively. Facebook alone has a reported 500 million users, and is growing daily in number. People are already there - they are already talking - not only talking about themselves, but also talking about their experience with your business.
So are people saying good things online about your business, or bad things?
If you knew what people were honestly saying about your business, do you think that would be information that you could use to make changes and improve your products or services? The fact that people are going online every day (several times a day in many cases) to talk to each other lends itself very well to you playing an active role in their lives, reminding them of the services you offer and improvements you are making to your business on a regular basis.
But this leads into our first issue - setting up your online presence on social media takes time and technical knowledge... maintaining and managing your pages takes time and effort - time you may not have!
A Much Better Way
When it comes to social media, it is not a quick fix or a set and forget system. Managing and maintaing social media profiles needs to be done active, since every day people could be saying things about your business that need to be monitored and responded to.
Add a few hours of daily online management to the list of tasks you already have to do, and soon you'll find yourself running out of hours in the day.
A better way would be to hire a social media manager to setup and operate your pages, talk to potential and existing customers, discuss issues with others, and build awareness for your business.
