It’s no secret that social media is the next big thing for small businesses, and for good reason.
More people are heading online to get their news. More
people are searching online before making in-store purchases. And more people
are connecting online with the ideas, stories, and brands they love – instantly.
Social media is the cohesive bond that seems to tie all this
activity together. Every experience – personal, professional, and even
paranormal—can now be shared with the world, for better or for worse, through
social media.
Consider the facts: One of every seven seconds online is
spent on Facebook (MediaBistro).
Over one-fifth of the world’s Internet population actively uses Twitter (Yahoo!).
And social media produces double the marketing leads of trade shows,
telemarketing, direct mail, or PPC (Hubspot).
For businesses everywhere, social media means a seemingly
limitless degree of insight into consumer behavior and feedback. It also means
a new avenue to help them meet their major business goals. But particularly for small businesses, it means a huge
chance to level the playing field with their corporate competition. Small
businesses can now discover new audiences across the world, acquire the best
talent available, more aptly calculate the effectiveness of campaigns, and quickly
hear their customers’ biggest concerns. This can all be done through social
media.
The main obstacle against them is time. The social media
industry is as fast-paced as any, driven by the latest tech and biggest venture
capital firms. For the average small business owner, keeping up with the latest
updates, platforms and demands of social is a daunting task.
Most see it as a space that they simply need to fill. Yet,
the cost-effective
opportunity available through social is a beast onto itself that should not
be left in the corner.
