Benefits of Social Media for Business
2
Social media is more than just a tool for looking
at pictures of your friends and reminiscing about
times past.

Branding
This is one of the most obvious benefits for most
businesses using social media. Whether users
directly engage with your brand or not, they will
still see your brand name within the networks
they use.
The more impressions a consumer gets of your
business, the more likely they will remember your
name in the future. Whether youre a shoe
retailer or a non-profit looking to gain
recognition for your cause, brand awareness is
vital for your continued success.

Reputation Management
Managing your online reputation is essential
within social media because your brand or
industry is being talked about regardless of
whether you take part in the conversation. Its
beneficial to know what your customers think
about your products, cause, services etc, and
with this input in mind you can react
accordingly. Since social media is open to
everyone, anyone has the ability to say what they
want about your brand.

Customer Service Feedback
Providing support to your customers is vital to
the success of any business and social media is
no exception to the rule. When a person reaches
out to you, whether their input is good or bad it
is extremely important to respond in a timely and
helpful manner. Social media provides the
platform for consumers to interact on a person to
person level, so that they arent talking to a
faceless representative over the phone or via
email. Respond whenever a user reaches out, just
not to users acting profane, misleading or
hateful.

Lead Generation
Social media can help act as a means of finding
customers for your business, advocates for your
cause or as a means to make many other beneficial
connections. Like weve previously discussed,
conversations are happening constantly within
each social network and its just a matter of you
monitoring these conversations and reaping the
benefit. These leads can be anything from an idea
for an article to an online sale.
