- For many small businesses, social media can seem
a bit overwhelming and it is. Knowing the ins and
outs of all the platforms, understanding the dos
and donts of promotions, the extra time and
money to stay on top of it all, and the list goes
on and on. The Website Design Centre team have
collated their top 10 social media tips for small
businesses to help you determine what you should
be doing to leverage social media for your
business. - Start with your staff. Chances are, your staff
already has some extensive social media networks
that can benefit your business. Ask you staff to
engage with your social media and share it with
their friends ultimately its in their best
interest that your business succeeds. Not only
will their friends see it, but friends of friends
and so forth already your reach is greatly
extended. - Advertising on social media, particularly ads
that drive traffic to a promotion free
giveaway, discount coupons are highly
effective. This type of advertising has the
benefits of being extremely targeted, inexpensive
and can even be automated.

- Customer service is now a 24/7 task so involve
others. Take the time to recognise and engage
with the people most actively contributing to
your social media platforms. Connect with these
unpaid ambassadors and they will be more likely
to address other customer queries and concerns if
you are unable to. Dont forget to thank them
when they do and maybe offer them something nice
every now and then. - Approach social media promotions and events as a
child would. Stay with me for a minute! Childs
have this natural, instinctive way that they
approach things with all of their senses as
well as their sense of adventure and wonder.
Measuring, sourcing, posting, reading metrics for
your social media accounts day in and day out can
be tedious but if you approach it with a sense of
fun and in an enthusiastic way so are more likely
to really connect with your fans they will be
swept up and want to engage with you. - Measure, measure, measure you need to know
whats working and what isnt, otherwise you are
just wasting time and money enough said.

- Get everyone involved have your sales force
utilise social media platforms such as LinkedIn
and ask your team to participate in social media
events that will promote your business. - Organic is great but sometimes you need to put
your money where your mouth is. Lets put it this
way if you are only reaching people organically
then its like still hanging out with the same
kids from high school. A paid social media
campaign will bring new friends into your circle. - Utilise social media to clearly address what your
customers (and potential customers) care about
cost or pricing questions, product or service
comparison questions, review-based questions, and
issues, concerns or problem questions. You can
also use social media to address those frequently
asked questions and free up some of your teams
customer service time - Focus on the social media platforms where your
customers hang out. Not all platforms and
audiences are created equal. Do some research and
find out exactly
