Is social media a vital tool in any small business marketing plan?
Imagine having access to thousands of potential customers for your business as a click of a button. Imagine your sales climbing, but no advertising costs, sound to good to be true…..??
Welcome to the world of social media!
Social media is an integral part of business these days, that not only benefits the large corporate businesses in this world, but also has become a free platform for small companies and entrepeneurs to showcase their wears and services. As a busy mum and team leader for Ice Jewellery (one of the fastest growing party plan companies in the UK) I have seen first hand what social media can do to help your businesses grow.
When I first started out I decided to create a business Facebook page showcasing my business to my friends and family, little did I know that a year later I would have an almost 1200 fans of my Facebook page, many followers on twitter, a you tube channel and a blog just to name a few social media platforms i have discovered on my way in business.
I now have the opportunity to create online parties via my Facebook business page too attracting not only my friends and family, but also thousands of other potential clients who are now purchasing from me, from as far as Australia! Where else could you get this coverage free of charge?
It does take time to figure social media out, but with great articles, social media courses and business professionals around these days that can assist you on your way, it’s getting easier and easier to start. As long as you plan your social media ventures well, by keeping your Facebook pages fresh, your twitter account current and your blogs relevant, you too can be up and running with social media in no time – and of course watching your business grow and your sales increase from it…
