Social media allows smaller sized companies to compete against some of the larger companies and reach more customers. There are plenty of stats that showcase\u00a0just how powerful social media is for businesses of all sizes. Here are some powerful numbers that make it more than evident that social media is the way to go in 2015:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite all of these stats, some businesses still aren\u2019t sold on social media as a marketing tool. In fact,\u00a0one in\u00a0three small businesses\u00a0don\u2019t think social media is important for their business. One of the primary reasons for this is simply because they don\u2019t realize\u00a0all of the benefits it has to offer yet. And this is partially understandable due to the nature of social media. It\u2019s used as a way to build brand awareness, fuel content marketing and other important aspects that aren\u2019t as measurable as what small businesses are used to.<\/p>\n
People have\u00a0grown to hate unsolicited messages from marketers and will only fill out a survey if there\u2019s some type of gift at the end which can taint the data. Social media gives you the opportunity to find out about your customers in a completely non-intrusive way. On top of that, you have the ability to see what your ideal customers are Tweeting about, what they put up on Instagram and other social media activity. All of this information lets you get a deeper look into who your customers are and what they like\/dislike. Before social media you\u2019d have to pay thousands of dollars to put together focus groups. But now it\u2019s all at your finger tips.<\/p>\n
People aren\u2019t afraid to voice their opinions on social media. That makes it a great place to get honest and raw feedback of what people think about your products or services. You can monitor what\u2019s being said about your business and resolve issues right away. This is a huge advantage.<\/p>\n
People don\u2019t only Tweet negative things about companies. Social media has done an amazing job of breaking down the wall that used to exist between businesses and customers. People post Instagram pictures of themselves enjoying their favorite brands, check in on Facebook when they go out to local bars and restaurants and happily show off their brand loyalty.<\/p>\n
Traffic is something that all business owners want, but struggle to get organically. While search engine optimization\u00a0is usually the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to traffic generation, social media can be just as effective. Sharing your blog posts and other content from your website on social media is an easy way to get more visitors. Just be sure that you\u2019re not only Tweeting your own content. Curate content from other sites in your industry, share images and other types of media.<\/p>\n
