Social Media is About the People! Not About Your Business

Social media
Many companies focus on social media with the standpoint of increasing their business sales. In reality social media is all about increasing the notoriety of your business as well as establishing loyalty with your customers. You can certainly drive sales through social media by posting new products and offers through your Twitter page, Facebook page or any other social media account that you might have but social media isn’t all about the sales.
Establishing a direct link between your customer base and your company is the true purpose of social media. Creating engaging content and regularly responding to your customers is one of the best ways that you can provide a high-quality social media experience. Instead of continuously posting links to new products, pose questions about how your products could be improved, work on forging relationships with valuable customers, and produce promotional material that lets people feel more connected to your company.
Make it personal
By providing people with a link to your company that makes it feel more personal to them and offers a real connection to your products, you can work at establishing more loyalty. When people know how a product is made, who is working at your company and the types of ideas that you may have for the future they will be much more on board with everything that your company is planning as well as any future releases that you might have in mind for your product lines.
Taking consumer feedback online is also a great way that you can rapidly improve your products and understand some faults that might exist within your current product line. By providing this link to the people who are regularly purchasing your product and visiting your store locations, you can work at making them part of your company family I providing for them. Sales will result from this type of connection.
