It is estimated that by 2019 there will be 2.77 billion social media users worldwide, a significant boost since 2.46 billion in 2017. Social media allows you to connect with your audience like never before. Engaging and informative content can be delivered within moments to a mass audience. “Social media is every brand’s voice, its microphone and an extension of its customer service arm.” Below are a few advantages of social media engagement:
Understanding Your Audience: You can learn what products your customers are buying, what kinds of posts they prefer, what inspires them, simply by reviewing their status updates, comments, or reviews. When you understand your customers, you can refine sales conversions and improve product strategy.
Building A Relationship: Authentic engagement with your followers will build a trusting relationship. You can help your customers by answering questions, entertaining them, inspiring them, and yes also informing them on new product announcements, etc.
Creating Brand Loyalty: “A report published by Texas Tech University found that brands with active social media profiles have more loyal customers.” Providing your customers with useful information, resources, help and entertainment will show your customers you value them.
