Social Media
As part of any business, social media is becoming more and more prominent. The ability to select and interact with such a focused market is the type of advertising businesses have long been searching for.
With the platforms now available not only providing a visual sales tool but also in many cases providing a thorough source of education and information, it is now an ideal time to look at the merits of all forms of social media to see which one may fit your business or practice.
Social Media is a marathon, not a sprint. It is about building and maintaining real relationships with key audiences. It is for you to share your knowledge and imperatively, ensure that you are perpetuating a 2 way dialogue, and are listening attentively to what your audience is saying.
As such, social media takes considerable time and needs a focused and constant level of attention.
In this instance it is suggested that in order to establish a social media presence, Twitter and Facebook profiles are firstly created and developed. Thus enabling a later move into other social networking sites such as YouTube and Pinterest and the possible development of a blog.
