Social Media has proven to us in the past 20 years how really important it is for businesses to have an online presence. The benefits of social media to businesses today cannot be benched.

Social media helps you connect, engage, and grow your business.

It is a fast, effective, and inexpensive way to engage and interact with more than billions using social networks all over the world. According to Pew Research Center, most social media users log into their accounts at least once per day. Many people are checking social media multiple times a day.

Sherpa Marketing found that more people follow brands on social media than they follow celebrities. They say on Instagram alone, eighty percent of people follow at least one business. If you are not taking advantage of social media, why not? You have a vast and almost unlimited market of potential business available to you on social media.

How to Pack a Powerful Marketing Punch with Social Media

1- Social Media posts and tweets drive traffic to your website

Sharing content from your blog to your social channels is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your website. How? When you publish a new blog post every week, post that link on every social channel, too. People will click on the link provided and read that blog post on your website.

And, if you participate in social chats, like the weekly #Hootchat on Twitter, you can also drive traffic to your website, increase visibility, and grab the attention of new people.

2- Social Media gives you the opportunity to engage and interact with customers and fans

Social media is a two-way street, unlike traditional media, which offers only one-way communication. It allows customers and fans the chance to interact with you and your business brand directly. If you want customers and fans to engage with you though, you must engage, stay active, and respond to every comment and question appropriately and promptly yourself. And when your social media posts are entertaining and informative, your followers will be more than glad to see your new content in their feeds.

All of this builds relationships and keeps you top of mind.

3– Social Media establishes your brand as a thought leader

No matter what industry your business is in, social media offers you the opportunity to establish your brand as a thought leader. But what is a thought leader? It is the go-to source for information on topics related to your niche.

Clearly, there’s no excuse to remain in the dark about how and why you should use social media to pack a powerful marketing punch.

Social Media:

• Helps you connect, engage, and build relationships with customers and fans
• Offers an easy, low-commitment way for potential customers to express an interest in your business and products and services
• Helps you sell your products and services, no matter what it is you sell
• Generates a huge amount of data about your customers in real-time which enables you to make smarter business decisions

Now, if your readers are not visiting your website, go to them instead. How? By sharing relevant, accurate, timely, informative, and engaging blog posts on as many social media sites as possible. Watch and see how this powerful marketing punch can make you and champion of your business marketing!
