You keep in touch with your friends on facebook, you’re a regular ‘tweeter’, you read and comment on several different blogs, but it’s all just for fun, right?
Did you know you can use social media to help grow your business as part of your Internet Marketing Plan?
In fact, if your business isn’t part of the ‘social network’, you could be missing out on connecting with hundreds of potential clients.
Facebook alone boasts more than 800 million active users, about half of whom log on every day. The average facebook user has 130 friends, according to facebook’s own stats.
Twitter’s stats aren’t quite as impressive, there are only about 100 million active tweeters, give or take a few hundred thousand.
There are so many blogs and blog systems that it would be impossible to even guess how many people take part in that process every day, especially if you consider those who comment and ‘join the conversation’ along with those who actually write the blogs.
What does this mean to you, a business owner looking for creative ways to draw traffic to your website, attract new customers to your business and improve your bottom line?
Industrial NetMedia can set you up with a custom facebook business page that reflects the style and design of your website. Once the page is set up, every person who ‘likes’ your business page puts you in direct contact with all of their facebook friends, who will see all of your updates in their news feed.
Your facebook, twitter and blog accounts can be linked so every tweet, comment or facebook update you make appears on your other sites, as well.
How do you attract ‘likes’?
They say you can’t make people like you and that’s probably true.
However, you can offer them a compelling incentive to ‘like’ your facebook business page, knowing that every ‘like’ exposes your business to an average of 130 potential customers.
I know of one business that offered to put all of their fans - everyone who likes them - into a draw for some free stuff once the number reached 250.
Get creative! The incentive you offer can be as simple as more information about your business or the answer to an interesting trivia question. You could offer a printable coupon or a ‘mention this page’ discount. Others have offered entry into a contest or raffle. The more creative and compelling your incentive, the more likely people are to 'like' your page and encourage their friends to do the same.
The best news for you in all of this is that Industrial NetMedia has all the tools to get you set up with a facebook business page, a twitter account, a blog or whatever other social media site you prefer.
