 One billion people actively use Facebook
every month
 500,000 people use Twitter every month
 3,600 hours of video are uploaded to

Info via Investopedia
Benefits of Social Media
 Market products
 Build your brand
 Increase SEO and SEM
 Quick and effective way to inform
customers and prospects
 Give your customers a voice
Facebook
Facebook estimates
that it is home to
more than 30 million
active small-business
pages. How will yours
get noticed?
Let’s start with
Creating a Page…
You must have a
personal Facebook
profile to be able
to Create a Page.
On your
Homepage, this
bar will be on the
left.
Next, select the most fitting category for
your Facebook Page.
For Eagle Bank, we chose ‘Company, Organization or
Institution.
Next Step
Next, choose a
category that best
fits your business.
When deciding on
Company Name,
remember that
this is what your
page will be called.
 Fill out About section
 Enter your business web address
 Create your unique URL
Add a photo of your business
Step 3 is optional
Enter the demographics of your ideal
Facebook audience
Take Facebook’s
Page Tour
Now what?
Share content!
Make sure you aren’t just selling
products and services.
Educate and engage!
Example:
Example
Don’t know what to post?
 PR Related: photos of
employees at events and/or
volunteering
 Happy (insert holiday)!
 Events going on around St.
Louis or Jefferson County
 Informational: inclement
weather, change of business
hours, etc…
 Share customer testimonials
NOTE:
 It’s important to understand how
you can integrate your social media
marketing within your other, more
traditional marketing– direct mail,
public relations, display
advertising, and promotions.
IMPORTANT
 The number of Page ‘Likes’ you
have should not be your only
measure of success.

Twitter Facts
 Over 241 million active Twitter users.
 32% of all Internet users are using
Twitter.
 340 million tweets are sent each and
every day.

Twitter Definitions
 Tweet: Statement posted on Twitter
that can be as long as 140 characters
 Hashtag: a word or phrase preceded by
a hash or pound sign (#) and used to
identify messages on a specific topic.
 Follow: Following someone on Twitter
means: You are subscribing to their
Tweets as a follower
A note on Hashtags
 Make sure to add hashtags
in your tweets. This is a
great way to find people
talking about similar themes
and to gain followers.
Same content rules apply,
except now you only get 140
characters
How to create a Twitter account
Follow the prompted steps:
Make sure your name (Twitter
handle) is easily identified with
your business.
More Twitter Definitions
 Retweet: a reposted or forwarded
message on Twitter.
 Favorite: represented by a small star
icon in a Tweet, are most commonly used
when users like a Tweet. Favoriting a
Tweet can let the original poster know
that you liked their Tweet, or you can
save the Tweet for later.

Social media and small business

Editor's Notes

  1. With so many people engaging in social media, it is difficult to ignore its potential to help businesses reach out to new and existing clients. When it comes to recommendations for products and services, people trust other people they know far more than any sophisticated marketing campaign. The more ‘fans’ you create, the more ‘likes’ you motivate and the more ‘shares’ you inspire. As others in your customers’ circles observe what their friends and relatives promote, they will follow suit. The types and number of social networks that companies are using are diverse: Facebook (92%), Twitter (86%), LinkedIn (80%) and YouTube (75%) account for the top-four most commonly used social networks for companies to engage with prospects, customers and partners. A good number of companies report using Google+ (45%), Pinterest (39%) and Instagram (26%). It will be interesting to see how those numbers will evolve as these platforms attract more customers and companies. Many companies (45%) said they currently use three to five social platforms to reach and respond to target audiences.
  2. The type of content that you deliver will be largely dependent upon your business and your goals for using social media and should be appropriate to both. Your content should be relevant and fresh, and focus on the clients rather than on your company. What do your existing and potential clients want to read about? What do they want to see? What do they want to learn? Social media is about sharing, not just advertising. What goals would you like to accomplish through the use of social media? -general branding purposes -To interact with your audience -To share coupons and offers -To drive traffic to your Web site -To market a new line of products 
  3. Try to include a link or photo with your posts; it draws the eye more than posts that don’t.
  4. Use sales pitch posts sparingly. I like to use the 80/20 rule. 80% educational and engaging content and 20% sales and ads.
  5. Utilize Facebook Insights! It tells you what your audience wants to see and where they engage.
  6. -informative -public relations -informational
  7. -advertisement -retweet/informational
  8. LinkedIn is different from the other major social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter in that it focuses specifically on the professional world. People join to network. If you sell to a business audience of any kind, LinkedIn can provide you with a great focus group of interested members
  9. Follow the prompts to get started Eventually: -make sure you add a photo, it makes your profile seem more legitimate
  10. If you want to be active on LinkedIn, make sure you have a professional photo on your profile. Don’t use a nickname unless you use it professionally. As with most social channels, you are only allowed one profile per email address. You can add any organizations that you are involved in as well. (ex. Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, etc…) Every person you accept as a connection will have access to your contact information, so make sure you know them before you accept them!
  11. Follow the prompts to get started
  12. Add a description of what your business does. For example, ours is, “Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri has served the Greater St. Louis area since 1911 offering great products and services like personal checking and savings accounts and online banking. Eagle Bank is considered one of the best small business banks in the region offering competitive rate business loans and business checking options. With our amazing customer service and wide product selection, it’s no wonder area families and businesses have been flying high with Eagle Bank for over a century.” You have 2,000 characters to work with. The above is 500 characters to give you an idea.
  13. Job posting -not free on LinkedIn
  14. Cross promotional
  15. Business/PR related
  16. Informational NOTE: you can share content from your company page on your personal profile
  17. Share your LinkedIn page on your Facebook, Twitter, etc… by clicking the arrow.
  18. YouTube is a great resource to publish video. It also requires the most commitment if you want to be active. Your profile is called your channel.
