Sabrina's Social Media Tips:
When small businesses are considering social media platforms for their business, it is important to think about:
- What tools does it offer you? Facebook Live, for example, gives you the video that attracts viewers but it also shows up first in what your viewers see.
- Is your business very visual? Businesses that are very visual like restaurants are a natural fit for Instagram because it is an image driven platform. You can show case your brand showing your product or stringing photos together to get information out to your audience.
- Do you have a type of business that has a need to share information quickly? Twitter has become the new customer service platform. If you are looking to gauge your customers experience with your product, see what they are saying in real time. Jet Blue is a great example of a business using Twitter to respond to customer feedback - both positive and negative - in a timely manner. Twitter is a great platform to not only share information quickly but to get the "pulse" of your audience as well.
