If you own a local business you know how hard it can be to get new customers. A solution to solving this problem, is by implementing a strong social media strategy to your marketing plan.
Let me ask you this. “Do you have a social media strategy in place or do you just have someone posting for you on Facebook?”
There is a big difference between what you may be doing now and a real social media strategy.
Some business owners (not you of course) have not jumped on the social media bandwagon yet. The main reason is because they don’t understand it. They don’t have a full understanding of the power of social media.
As Gary Vaynerchuk, (Founder of Vayner Media & leading expert on social media) has stated many times over, “The smart phone has now taken the place of the television. Think of Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat as the new television networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS.”
He goes on to say, “The television is now like the radio and the radio is now like newspapers. And who is reading newspapers anymore?”
Social media is the new medium for all things ‘advertising’ and it’s not going away. The average person now looks at their smartphone an average of 8 hours a day. And when they do watch television, it’s on their time, because they recorded their program on the DVR. Outside of live sporting events.
Then they skip through all of the commercials. So, if you’re buying T.V. commercials, guess what…? They’re probably not being seen.
All eyes are on the smartphone and in particularly, social media.
And your local business needs to have a presence there in some fashion.
