Getting started with social media

3/31/2020

 
​Social media platforms have become some of the most-used sites and apps on the internet. If you have a business, and you are trying to attract visitors, there is a good chance that you are planning to utilize the power of these sites. Here are some smart tips to get you started. 

The first thing you should do is sign up with social accounts using your preferred account names. These account names should include your business name and location if you can manage it. This is particularly important for websites like Twitter where your account name is your displayed name. As time goes on, it will become more and more difficult for you to get the account name that you want. Reserve those names now.

Value Content: Don't simply push products blindly upon any reader that happens to scan through your profile. Post informative content from your business and other sources within your niche. People appreciate when you bring value to them before they have even purchased anything from you. It's never been easier with social media. There are many tools that you can take advantage of to help keep you and the content you put out timely and relevant. 

You can also get people engaged by running contests, asking questions or posting updates about your business. Look for opportunities to interact with your followers. Help them interact with your products instead of being passive viewers of a commercial. Don't get your customers to focus on the prices of your products- get them to think about how it'll fit into their lifestyle.

Reviews: From the start, keeping track of comments, reviews, and updates related to your business is very important. If these things are not managed they can have a negative effect on your social media presence and business before you've even gotten off the ground. These platforms are used for information gathering for potential customers and they will be looking. So keep an eye on any comments or reviews left. Keeping track of what others, particularly past customers, are saying about you on social media is a great way to identify areas where your business could use improvement.  Highlight the good and take the bad as a learning opportunity. It is also a good way to see which parts of your business have been effective.

When you use the tips in this article, you are catapulting your business out of the dark ages and into the technological age. By making these popular sites work for you your business can be much more effective.
