If you are struggling with your current social media efforts – or entertaining the idea of starting a social media strategy for your business – this article is for you. We’ve compiled the Top 5 questions that we have received during our most in-depth meetings, and we will address them here. **Does my business really need to be on social media?** A rebuttal question: *‘Aren’t you worried you may be missing out on tapping into a new audience to generate leads and valuable customer connections?’* Social media provides businesses the opportunity to engage with current and potential customers that may you may not know you have. Social media allows companies to have a voice and show the public that your company is willing to listen to them. Social media is also an excellent customer service medium outside of traditional email and phone media. **What platform will work better for my business?** No one business is like the other. If you’re a B2B, your target audience may not be using the same platform as a B2C business. On a B2B perspective, you’re building thought leadership, gathering reviews and educating your audience. Focus on engagement, a two-way dialogue, rather than simply messaging. **How do I get more followers?** Focus on quality rather than quantity. When it comes to social media for business, it is better to have 10 engaged followers than 100 non-engaged followers. Focus your efforts on creating quality conversations. **How will I be able to quantify my efforts?** During various stages of your business’s social presence, you’ll want to create objectives and goals – you’ll then achieve those goals through various social strategies: 1. Define Goal 2. Identify Tools 3. Decide Approach 4. Execute Quantifying your efforts will be determined once the objective has been met in the time allotted – it is variable for every business, and every goal. Do you have any questions that have not been addressed? Ask them below and we’ll answer them in a timely manner.
