If you watch the news and read the paper, you’ll have heard all of the negative things about social media that the journalists can muster. It’s ruining our social techniques, it’s stopping us living our lives, it’s a pandemic that has us all obsessed…but the so often forget about the positive ways that it’s actually revolutionised the way we live. It’s easier than ever now to connect to the world around us, meaning for businesses it’s never been a better time to reach out to new clients. Social media is incredible when it comes to advertising companies – but not everyone seems to realise it. If it’s sparking your interest, then here’s how social media could be your best advertising platform yet.
It’ll Increase Your Traffic Flow
It really doesn’t matter what line of work you’re in. You could be the owner of a fast paced property company such as ReadySteadySell.co.uk, or you could even be doing something as obscure as making your own soaps and beard oils out of natural ingredients only. Whatever field you’re in, social media will help to increase the flow of online traffic directly to your products and services.
When you think about it, an enormous portion of the general public use social media. However you feel about it personally, it’s indisputable that so many people use social media nowadays, that you’re in the minority if you don’t.
That being said, think about how many potential clients you therefore have access to when you’re advertising on social media websites – especially if you’re advertising new website content. The more people this content reaches, the more likely you therefore are to have a regular following.
The amazing thing is, once this shows up on the newsfeeds of those who are interested – all of their online friends get to see it too. Then if one of their friends click like, their friends will see it too – and the cycle continues. Some of the world’s biggest stars and success stories nowadays are made on social media, and your business could be too.
It Can Boost Your Website’s SEO
Regardless of whether you’re familiar with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) or not, it plays a big part in ensuring your business website is consistently visited by the public.
It’s all about using key words in order to boost your website’s popularity – and furthermore its ranking on search engine pages. Say for example you were selling the “best mascara ever”. Ideally, when people type in their search engine of choice “best mascara” you’d like yours to come up first, right? Well that’s what Search Engine Optimisation is all about.
So where does social media come in, you might ask? Well the more traffic that circulates on your website, the more noticeable it becomes in the public domain. The more hits you get on your web page, the faster it’ll climb those search engine ranks, and as previously mentioned, social media inevitably boosts the amount of hits you get on your website. Say you were using Facebook for example – ensure you’re sharing not only new content on there, but old content frequently too. You never know who hasn’t seen it and might be interested.
It Can Help You to Better Understand Your Audience
Have you ever felt like sometimes you just don’t get what your audience is after? Well, social media could sharp put a stop to that.
You’re only really as successful as your audience makes you, so remember that the customer is always right. Social media, and your posts on it, will allow you to analyse which posts and products get the most likes and interest – and what sort of person it is showing the interest. The better you know and understand your audience, the more loyal a following you will gather. After all, your products and posts should be directed at your own niche audience.
You Can Build a Relationship with Your Audience
Finally, it’s a good way of building a relationship with your audience. Social media is a lot less formal way of interacting with potential clients, and depending on what sort of business it is you’re promoting; this could work very well to your advantage. People trust companies who are friendly and relatable, yet professional and knowledgeable. If you can get the balance of this just right when creating your posts and communicating with your audience, then you’ll never have trouble maintaining clients. After all, aren’t client-business relationships what marketing is all about?
