While creating a new business, you have a lot on your mind from financing, building a website, and how you are going to spread the word on your business besides using newspaper ads, TV commercials, and/or the radio. Now while building a website is useful for more detailed information some people don’t think about socializing through Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Myspace or many more. This tool has been very successful to make many businesses known.
Now many small businesses that are already known might say that they are too busy with the amount of customers that they already have and have no time to be logging into each social media website. Well then consider Postling . It logs you in into all of your social media like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and etc, and you can update your status and blog all in one place without having to sign in to each website. I don’t think having too many customers is a bad thing for your business. I also read an article the other day it was called 32 ways to use Facebook for business that might also help you if you need help starting a Facebook for your business. If that doesn’t convince you look over the facebook statistics of how many people log on daily.
Although signing up might be easy, blogging about events at your store is easy, providing incentives are great ways to interact with all those customers who “follow” you on Twitter or “like” you on Facebook etc. If you don’t promote your business and catch consumer’s attention, it’s just like having a website just standing there doing nothing. For example, let’s say you want more customers and you have a sale going on you can update your status so others can see saying “ The first 100 people to like this status can receive instead of 20% off merchandise, 70% off merchandise!!”. This will not only create more customers but those who did not get it this time around are going to be looking at your page from time to time to see if they can catch it the second time around.
Thanks for reading!
