4 Reasons to Make Social Media Part of Your Digital Marketing

by | Feb 2, 2021 | Social Media | 2 comments

In the fast-paced, technology-driven world, the vast part of our day is spent online. Nearly two-thirds of the world’s population utilizes the internet, while the average person spends 144 minutes a day browsing through their social media.

While once the medium for friends to connect, social media now forms an essential part of a company’s digital marketing strategy. Nowadays, not having a presence on social media can hold your business back, preventing you from achieving your best.

Why social media is important to your brand

Social media is no longer an optional benefit for businesses but an essential method of reaching customers. There are many benefits to having a presence on social media, including:

1. Boost your brand awareness

One of the biggest benefits of managing a social media presence is that it can significantly boost your brand awareness. With billions of users utilizing social media, you will be able to place your company into the palms of more potential customers. People do not just follow brands that they know; a recent survey of Instagram users found that 60% of people had discovered a new company while browsing their timeline.

An effective digital marketing campaign across social platforms can help you to develop genuine leads with new customers, enabling you to nurture stronger relationships.

2. Become a thought leader

Alongside helping you reach more potential customers, social media can also help you establish your company as a thought leader for your industry. Regular insightful posts can showcase your company as the go-to brand for information on your industry, and 58% of businesses said they were more likely to choose a company perceived as a thought leader.

3. Reputation management

No matter whether you are using social media or not, your customers will be. Ensuring you are actively utilizing your social channels will help you to respond to your customers, allowing you to maximize your customer service offering.

By using social media, you will be able to control your reputation far more effectively. It will allow you to highlight positive messages and quickly address any negative comments before they become a major issue.

4. 24/7 marketing

Unlike other forms of marketing, your online presence will be able to work to promote your brand 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Potential customers will be scrolling through their timelines at all hours of the day, so regular and high-quality posting maximizes your productivity, ensuring you are always reaching potential customers.

    All good points Suzie. I am pulling back from social media a little bit with volatility on Facebook and Twitter but maintain an active presence on each platform for the reasons you note. Social media still rocks for building brand awareness and for growing your online business too. The key is to treat social on a 1 to 1 basis, building bonds through personalized interactions.
