Importance of Social Media Marketing
Customer Reach: The customer reach is drastically increased with the help of SMM for the companies. The platforms of Facebook, Instagram help the company to advertise their product at global level which significantly increase their customer reach.
Decrease in Advertising Cost: It is very obvious that the SMM is the very low cost marketing plan for any of the organisations.
Shows Authenticity: Customers aren’t interested in businesses that publish dry, corporate-style social media posts. Instead, let your brand’s personality shine through in everything you share on social media. What does your brand voice sound like? How does it represent who you are? Practice getting your tone just right, whether it’s casual and funny or formal and friendly. Be true to whom you are, not who you think you should be. Followers want to see real people behind your social profiles.
Encourage Engagement: Social channels evolve, constantly releasing new features, and this rapidly changing environment can be intimidating for some business owners. But remember: you don’t have to do everything. Play with new ways to connect with your audience, and give yourself permission to learn as you go. One day, you could post a series of Instagram Stories to give customers a behind-the-scenes tour of your office. The next, you could host a quick Q&A session via Facebook Live video streaming. Over time, you’ll get a better idea of your followers’ preferences.
