Top 5 Reasons Social Media Marketing Is Important for a New Business

I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster.

Social Media Marketing (SMM) has morphed into a ‘verb’ to describe marketing on social media channels like Facebook and other user content sites like discussion forums, blogs and message boards.

What are the five ways it will help build relationships that will boost your business?

1. Brand Recognition

The internet has made it easy for competition to pop up in all industries. You need to stand out if you want customers to buy from you. Interacting with customers directly on social media will help you do that. Social media allows you to put your brand’s message in front of people quickly and regularly.

2. Direct Communication

You can send people direct messages with your social media pages. Your customers can reach out with problems, and you can reach out to learn more about what people want from your company.

3. Viral Content

Social media opens up the doors to create viral content that reaches more people than you could on your own. If you play your cards right, one post can lead to a considerable increase in your business.

Getting started with social media marketing isn’t something that you can do overnight. To get a high rate of conversion, i.e. customers buying from you, you’ll need time to build a large following on the social platforms your targeted customers frequent.
