Why Your Small Business Needs Social Media

Online presence—including your website, e-store, and social media—can grow your business exponentially. Work smarter not harder online.

Why Social Media?

Social media is ever-changing. From new social media platforms to new users, the social media world is rarely the same from one day to the next.

Despite its ever-changing nature, you need social media. To reach your audience, you need to be where they are.

The best statistic for social media though? 74% of Shoppers Make Buying Decisions Based on Social Media. (Source)

That’s right. A whopping 74% of shoppers will make a purchasing decision after researching social media about the brand and/or product. They will check reviews from other users, how active the company is online, how responsive the brand is to complaints, and other factors before making their decision.

If your brand isn’t online, you could be missing out on valuable connections.

Why your Small Business Needs Social Media

The Internet Never Sleeps

Running a small business often means working long hard hours to achieve your dream. Then on top of that, you have to manage your own Facebook? That’s a lot more work every day.

A lot goes into ensuring that your business has a positive presence online that will gain attention and drive sales.  

What does it mean to run a Facebook page?

Managing a social media page is more than just regular posting. To effectively grow your business through social media, you’ll need to:

  • Cultivate engagement (likes and comments) on your posts,
  • Respond and engage with your followers,
  • Manage messages,
  • Generate reviews,
  • And manage your brand’s reputation online.

Do you have time for keeping up with 24/7 activity on your social media account? Probably not. You have a business to run, employees to manage, products to create, and much more.

Don’t waste your time trying to manage your website and social media too. Leave that to the professionals.

Hire a Social Media Manager

An experienced social media manager will develop a clear strategy for growing your business through social media. This strategy will consist of a posting schedule, contests, review generation, and increasing your follower count.

Work with your social media manager to create quality content such as images, videos, contests, and case studies to keep your social media active and fresh.

You have a business to run, and your social media manager knows that. However, you’re the expert on your business. You’ll need to help them learn about your brand before they can run the page without your help.
