Are you making use of social media in your business? Do you know where to start? Are you wondering if its worth your time?
These are three questions that immediately spring to mind for me, but I am sure you will have dozens of questions yourself.
By now, we all know that when it comes to running your business, social media needs to play a part.
Do you need to build your on-line brand awareness?
Even if your business operates in a local area, social media is a great form of gaining business and recommendations. These recommendations therefore will aid customer confidence in addition to brand awareness and brand building.
But what if you do not have the time to manage it yourself?
If you do not have the time or feel you lack the knowledge of knowing how to portray the image of your off-line business into the social media world, then you need to consider getting someone to do this for you by means of outsourcing or hiring someone. My recommendation would be not to try to attempt a full blown social media campaign without first taking the time to know which strategy is effective for your business and its on-line marketplace.
You may already have an on-line presence and need advice on how to be more effective and ultimately gain more business and money in the bank!
But remember! Taking your business on-line can be done right and go well or it can be done wrong and go very wrong!
Who Should I Choose?
Now you know that social media should be at the forefront of your on-line marketing campaign, who should you choose to do the job?
Imagine you were looking to hire an employee for your business. You would of course be looking for at least qualifications and experience. You need to apply these same thoughts when choosing somone to maintain your on-line social media campaign.
There are some great pieces of free advice out there. For example, Twitter have a section specifically for businesses looking to make the most of their account.
Why Should You Choose Me?
There are a number of companies who offer social media on a general level and I am in no doubt that these companies perform to the best of their ability. I personally feel that the individual responsible for running your on-line social media campaign should have experience in your industry and marketplace, and that they understand your products or services because they have been there themselves.
