This week we will be exploring the world of Social networking and how this tool affects our small businesses. This medium of interaction has become such a popular choice for small business owners for a couple of reasons. 1. F-R-E-E: Most forms of social network are free and are easy to access
2. CONTACT GALORE: Small business owners have access to millions of people from the convenience of their home or office
3. Increase sales: as this article tells about Dell.
But not everything that shines is gold, since it requires massive amounts of time to keep in touch with your clients. Here is an interesting article with the Do's and Don't of Social Networking.
I personally feel that SN has the potential to help business acquire new clients, increase sales and market share. It is all in the way we use it.
PS: Happy Thanksgiving!
So do you agree that social networking can potentially help businesses outside of just advertising? I don't really picture becoming a "friend" of any businesses.
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteYou point out great benefits of social media usage. You know what they say: the best things in life are free!! The potential consumers a business can reach by simply having a personal social media page; its a quick, easy and free form of selling itself.
The effect that social media has on us is ridiculous. The advertising targets us based on what we have "clicked" before. It really is a wonder and it is an effective tool in marketing. I absolutely agree with you that social media is free. Its is a means to open doors for advertisements.
ReplyDeleteI have to echo the statements made in the previous posts. The insane amount of people one can reach on Social Networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter are enough to make any smart small business owner want to join. Now couple that with the fact that it's free 99! That's a dream come true for any company. Nothing beats effective free advertising.
