Social Media nowadays has been the greatest helpline for all the people who wanted to start small businesses. Advertising for a product or company has become really difficult in recent times. Gone are those days when servicemen used to walk from home to home to advertise their products. In those days convincing someone at their own house was difficult as they had no intention of even listening to people who came to convince them. Social media in recent times has become the go to place for all people. Whenever we hear about a new company we rush to some Instagram or Facebook to check about the reviews of different people. That’s how social media has occupied our lives.
Small business needs more and more advertising,so let’s see how social media helps for small business:
Best mediator between company and customer:– Ever heard of phone case companies on Instagram who do their advertising through Instagram and Facebook? Social media is the best messenger between a customer and a company. Post the products pictures and details on social media sites and wait for the response. If the products are worth the praise then it won’t take much time for the company to have a quick growth.
Audience interests comes into light:- Through social media feedback and reviews it becomes easier for small companies to know their customers well. After seeing a product the customers will reach out to the executives and tell them about their interests and once the customers are satisfied with everything they will be the ones who will help in advertising later. So knowing the audience is really important and social media is a good platform for that.
Brand awareness is created:- A good social media status and reviews later helps to become a brand among other competitor companies. For instance,if two companies have the same business but one company has better social media preference then that company will have a greater chance of exceeding in their work. People will communicate more and more and will like to buy products on a regular basis.
Chances of getting sales increases:- When it comes to getting sales nothing can help you more than social media. In recent times most of the companies want their customers to be from Facebook or Instagram and that’s the reason why they advertise more and more on social media sites.
Social media can get you media coverage:- Everybody knows that anything famous on social media will get a high level of media coverage. Be it a soap company or a perfume brand, everything can get media coverage if it is well conducted on social media sites.
Different media, different customers:- When you talk about customers on Facebook, in today’s world you will find more and more middle aged people as compared to Instagram. Instagram has taken over Facebook and has all the young generation people in it. That’s the reason why different social media platforms will give you different kinds of customers.
Cost effective:- When you are marketing through social media the cost of paying to other investing companies or advertising companies decreases. You are your own boss here and you can advertise free of cost if you are using social media sites.
These are the basic ways in which you can grow your small business without thinking twice about the capital and other things. Starting a small business using social media is really very helpful for homemakers who have no work but are interested in doing something cool and unique. Nowadays, students have started using the social media platform for showcasing their talents and are excelling as well. So it’s better if every person starts something new and unique. Why work for someone else when you can be your own boss? Think!!
