Why is Social Media important?

Increasing your exposure to prospective customers is the mandate of every successful business. A study released by Neilsen (Leading global provider of information and insights into what consumers watch and buy) found that 92% of consumers trust word-of-mouth above all other forms of advertising and 70% chose online customer reviews as the second most trusted source. Social media is important to increasing exposure because it’s simply word-of-mouth powered by technology. We can broadcast information within a matter of seconds to hundreds and thousands of people in a cost efficient way.

How does Social Media generate revenue?

Revenue can be generated by employing strategies to attract your current customers and prospective customers. By engaging your customers with special deals or promotions only available via Facebook or Twitter, you will entice them to return and to spend more money. When they share this information (“Like” or “Re-tweet”), it will attract the attention of their friends and family via their news feed where it becomes viewable to all their connections. This drives in additional revenue and promotes a sense of customer appreciation that attracts repeat business.
