What Exactly Is Social Media?
Social media sites are user managed web profiles used to interact with other users and share information. The most popular examples of social media are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, and YouTube. The process of “sharing” (Facebook) and “re-tweeting” (Twitter) can put a message in front of an extremely large audience. While search engines display information that they believe is popular and relevant by using an algorithm, social media sites display information that its users mark and deem as important and relevant to not only themselves, but also their group of friends.
So, how can social media benefit your business? How would you like your customers to voice their approval of your product or service in a public forum, and or their private circle of friends? A recommendation is the most powerful form of advertising. Pure unbiased approval by a friend is a very powerful form of advertising. This is why every single business needs a social media marketing plan.
