business? Utilizing the social networks is a new avenue to
promoting your business. Understanding the basics of
social networking can sometimes be confusing. Use the

business.

remember to make your introduction personal, and
professional at the same time. If someone says something
that you don't appreciate, delete their comment rather
than get into a battle of words. Separate your personal
profile from your professional one!

feedback, it opens the door for conversation. By
encouraging interaction between your customers and your
business, you can gather useful information. You can
better serve them, by cultivating a genuine interest of

business's performance.

campaign is to get some of your employees blogging on
your company's website. This allows your customers to get
an insight into your company. It allows them a personal
glance into your business culture and day to day
operations of your organization. You increase your
credibility with customers by allowing them access to
insider information.

5. Interact with customers as frequently as you can. If it's
appropriate, comment on their blogs or Facebook status.
Do not interfere in a personal discussion; you should only
contact someone if they are talking about an issue related
to your products or industry.

6. When using social media, short posts are best, in most
cases. Short messages are more likely to stick in people's
minds, and are more likely shared with other social media
users. A relevant image can help reduce the amount of
content in a message.

7. Twitter is a powerful social networking platform that can
be a valuable promotional tool for your business. When
used correctly, Twitter is a great way to engage
hundreds, or even thousands, of potential customers into
reading your news updates and press releases. Take time
to learn about hashtags, keywords, and all other things in
Twitter world.

8. You can increase your social media followers by offering
them exclusive deals, discounts, and coupon codes. It's
very possible you get more sales when your followers
think they are in an exclusive club.

A Facebook button must be at the beginning of each of
your blog posts. While it may be a little extra work to get
the button up, the results are more than worth it.
