- Social media has been around for a little over thirty years. Social media has made it’s presence in most major platforms and niche groups. Social media has only been a topic in conversation for the last ten years.
- These days almost everyone visits the worldwide web. With free wi-fi and public hotspots internet connection can be found almost everywhere for free.
- This is a infographic by Fred Cavazza. This infographic places Google and Facebook as a centralized focus. These are two sites that are visited by millions of people everyday. The idea is that if you visit one of these two sites that you will see advertising or talk about these other platforms with your friends. These two platforms are capable of multi-functioning of power and influence. Their ability to continue evolving in the technology world. The more sites that you use the more friends and followers you gain.
- This information supports the infographic in the slide before. When looking at these statistics it is no question why in the infographic it had placed Google and Facebook as a centralized focus point. With these numbers of visitors daily, how can you pass on free social media? These millions of daily visitors have the potential of becoming part of your community.
- Social media is an open source of free media. Social media is an excellent tool to utilize and save money. Compared to the traditional forms of advertising social media can be made available to the public instantly.
- These four social media sites are the most commonly known and widely used. These sites are free to use and view. All four sites are an open free source of advertisement. If you were to invest a few hours each week online to post business related updates and answer and respond to messages, then you have the potential of building a large community with a great number of followers.
- When customersfeel connected to your business they are more apt to talk about your services with their friends and the associates that they know. They will also be quicker to recommend your services in conversation. Talking to your customers in a friendly manner will increase their comfort level and they will feel as if they are talking to friends not a business. Keeping good relations also enables the customer to gather trust in the business. When the customer “likes” you on Facebook they are more apt to use your business rather than the competitors. It is also free advertising when their friends view their “likes”. This will improve customer satisfaction and also save you money on long distance customer service phone calls.The more impressions a consumer gets of your business, the more likely they will remember your name in the future
