Starting a new business venture can be an exciting and daunting prospect. Any entrepreneur will tell you that it requires hard work, some risk and a bit of luck. But the feeling of creating a successful business, something that you created out of nothing, is simply amazing. Where some new businesses fail is not seeing the potential benefit of social media. It is something that has seemed to have dominated our phone screens, laptops and desktops. But it isn’t just there for you to keep in touch with your friends, it’s fast becoming a solid tool for businesses and here’s why.
Your potential reach is 1000’s, maybe millions
That’s right. You read that right. Social media has the power to get your business and service in front of the eyes and ears of many potential customers. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram can all add to your business. By posting something you may encourage an existing customer to share your post, their friends may the share or like, so will their friends. The cycle is endless and could allow you to reach so much more people than you would in some commercial advertising options. It’s free to post on your business pages and such, the potential is huge.
Branding is everything
Just like you, many other businesses and entrepreneurs are aware of the benefit of social media. So this is where you have to think outside the box. Branding can play a huge part in this. Consistency is key when it comes to posting on social media. You must do it and do it often. You add a picture to back up your words. Don’t just post any old thing; people can easily not engage with you.
A marketing strategy will always help you get on top
Having a marketing and social media strategy in place will help you to post consistently and stick to your branding. However, starting a new business venture can pose many other things on your to-do list. While social media is important it may not be high on your priority list. Even though it should be. Getting professionals to help you create a strategy, could be an excellent move on your part. Companies like CandidSky know exactly what they are doing. They will know how to interact and reach your target audience. Once you have done that they will also be best placed to advise how you build on the original success.
Adding a face to the business could be a smart move
People buy from people. But the internet has made that difficult to achieve. So adding your face to the brand could be a great step forward in your marketing strategy. You don’t need to plaster your picture all over your logo’s or website. Just adding a personal picture or portrait of yourself will make people feel more comfortable with your business. As it grows, you could introduce staff members in a similar way.
I hope this highlights some of the benefits your start-up venture will get from social media.
