Top 10 Benefits-Social Media Marketing

If you are a business of any kind whether it a small business or a major corporation and are not taking advantage of social media outlets for your marketing then you are truly missing out.

Almost if not just as important as having a blog associated with your business, social media marketing can really have a big impact on your success both online as well as offline.

Not only does social media have the potential to increase sales, it also allows you and your business to build a name for your self and promote your brand. This builds trust and will only help your cause in the long haul.

Building Your Brand

Building your brand is a very important step and should not be taking lightly, using social media to market your content can be a key way to gain customers as well as building your brand at the same time.

Showing that you are on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and many others shows your customers that you are active and really adds the human element which builds a sense of trust with people. Not to mention that it allows your customers easy access to you and your content.

Increased Traffic

This is really a no brainer, being able to share your content on social media sites allows you see an increase in traffic and has the potential to take a viral effect.

Being active and sharing content is a great way to increase the traffic to your website, therefore promoting your brand, content and income potential as well.

Increased Ranking(SEO)

The days of just updating your blog on a regular bases might be at an end, major search engines such as Google and Bing are looking and ranking sites better the more active they are in social media.

The reason behind this is that being active in social media tells search engines that you and your brand is legitimate, trustworthy and are more likely to rank your website better.

New Business Opportunities

Being active in social media can really open a lot of new doors for you and your business. Not only will you be able to respond to positive and negative comments, you can address any issues right away.

Social media will also allow you to network with other marketers and gain new ideas and share yours as well.

Lowered Marketing Costs

Little to no cost is involved with social media marketing, unless of course you pay for advertising. You can keep track of how your social media marketing is doing with keeping track of where and how your traffic is coming in. This will allow you to see how good your return on investment is and make changes as needed. You can also see what networks are doing better for you and scale up as needed.

Grow A Long Time Returning Customer Base

Using social media marketing allows you to grow your customer base. It will also allow you to stay in touch and keep them easily updated on any new information or products that you will be releasing as well as website content. This will allow you to grow a long term relationship with your loyal followers and will build more trust and eventually lead to more sales for your business.

Word Of Mouth

Social media is great for increased word of mouth, and just like in the real world word of mouth can be a powerful tool. You are probably 10 times more likely to buy a product if you hear good reviews on the product from a friend or family member, this is also true with social media as well. It can really go a long way for you and your business.

Social Media Increases Email Lists

Almost every business that has a website or online aspect of their company will have an email list, and having customers sign up to receive emails allows you to send very targeted marketing campaigns for your content or products, using social media can boost the amount of signups that you aquire within your list, leading to more sales and revenue for your website.

Increases Direct/Indirect Sales

As you go about your marketing campaigns using social media, you will probably notice that some sales are a direct result of your efforts, some on the other hand will be indirect, this is a good thing of course. This could be a result of someone liking or sharing your content with others who like and share with others and will take a viral effect resulting in more sales for you and your business. Again all relating back to your social media efforts.

Content Distribution

Distributing your content to a very broad audience via social media will not only generate more traffic but will sometimes spark an interest with someone who finds your content unique and interesting. After all if you can convert just 1% of the people who are viewing your content into leads and sales then I would say that it is worth the effort put into it.
