3 Benefits of Using Social Media as a Business

Dec 07, 2016

Since its beginnings, social media has always been a place to connect with others. At first, many businesses might have been reluctant to concentrate their efforts on growing a social media presence. Now, daily activities on the popular platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and etc.) is the norm. The current focus for most businesses is to increase their effectiveness on social media to improve all aspects of the company. In this post, we will outline three of the major benefits that come with using social media as a path to grow your business.

1 - Understand Customers & Competitors

Social media offers a large amount of data about current and potential customers in a matter of moments. You can see what customers are interested in, how they interact with others, and most importantly, find out their opinion of your company. Through active engagement, you can gather the information that is relevant to you and be able to make informed decisions on where to go next.

Customers aren’t your only source of information on social media. You can also gather competitive data which can tell you how your competition is interacting with their social followers. You’ll also see the kind of content or offers they provide. Through observation, your company can make strategic decisions to stay ahead in your area of expertise.

2 - Improve Brand Awareness & Loyalty

Developing your presence on social media gives people another outlet to find you. By connecting with your customers on social media, you’re more likely to increase brand loyalty and customer retention through the added value you now provide.

Other ways social media can improve brand awareness is the direct impact it has on content creation and web ranking. Social media platforms serve as an excellent place to get your message across because of the ability to be seen in real-time and at a later period. Customers have an opportunity to see your post either in their live feed or on your company’s page. The better you are at social media, the higher your ranking will be on popular search engines. A higher ranking will drive more traffic to your website and hopefully generate more conversions.

3 - Form Experiences & Relationships

The guiding principle to social media is connecting with others. That should be your main goal as a company. When you post on social media you want to avoid becoming too focused on the conversions. This is a system that allows open communication between all parties involved. You can advance towards social media stardom by developing your social voice. Offer relevant and interesting content and respond to customer questions and concerns you receive.
