Why does a business need social media?

It's FREE! - Well, to an extent. Signing up, posting, sharing, liking, commenting, etc. will all be free for your business. Technically, this is all you need to do to have a social media presence, but as your business grows, it's important you are leveraging this tool properly. This is when experts like Brandfluential come into play and can help you devise a successful social media strategy.
Showcases personality - Social media is truly the perfect extension of your brand’s voice, tone, and personality.
Increases brand recognition - Social media is an easy and cost effective way to create brand awareness, especially when using paid ads or boosted posts.
Updates your customers - Social media is one of the best platforms (besides email marketing) to notify your customers about what your business has been up to. Showcasing new products, sales, events, or your latest projects.
Develops loyal relationships - Customers comment with questions or general feedback, like, share, and even leave reviews for your business. It also allows you to show off your great customer service publicly.
Great place for collaborations - Business collaborations are great way to increase your following and overall customer base. Partnering together on a contest and/or giveaway are a few campaign ideas to increase followers, collect email addresses and build up better brand recognition.
Increases website traffic - Social media is a great platform for followers to sample your brand. When they want more, they will visit your website. Especially if you sell your products or services online.
Follower insights - The insights tool provides great information like average age, dislikes, likes, gender, and general location of any user that happens upon your page. This data is extremely important when creating ad campaigns to ensure you're targeting the correct demographics to get the absolute best ROI.

Why use paid social ads?

Paid social advertising can be very effective for generating brand awareness, as well as leads and sales. Unlike search advertising where you target by keywords, paid social ads are targeted based on specific audience demographics. These can include geography, interests, behaviors, and many specific attributes that social media sites collect on their users.
