Importance of Social Media presence for your business

In the last 15 years, Social media has been a rapidly growing gold mine for marketing, as more and more people are joining and interacting on the platforms daily! People of various ages and interests are enjoying sharing their ideas, thoughts, and information via the internet and it has become a go-to source for introducing many businesses to customers.

 

Why is social media a successful marketing tool today?

Social media boosts visibility to potential customers and clients who may not know who you are or what your business is all about. Having a social media presence lets you reach a wider audience inexpensively and quickly. This builds awareness for both you and your business, which in turn will bring in sales. It also allows you to interact with your customers, further finding out needs and wants and improving your product accordingly.

Top 3 platforms to consider for a successful marketing campaign

According to “The Research Moms”, Facebook is used by 81 percent of U.S. parents on social media, compared to 61 percent of the whole U.S. population 12+. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, there are 15 million fewer Facebook users in the whole U.S. population 12+ in 2019 than there were in 2017, but we don’t find the same declining trend among U.S. parents.

Use Facebook to build your business page and presence, post some great blog-like educational content, bright and attractive pictures, and videos. You can also ask your customers to leave reviews on your page and share your posts.  Don’t forget to share some tips and interesting topics that will ease someone’s everyday life as a parent to keep interested in your content.
