This is the age of social media. If you have a website business you have to have an element of social media with which to engage consumers online. Millions of people in the UK and the wider world are online 24/7.
Take a look at Facebook and see the times your friends and family update their pages. If they're updating their status in the middle of the night, there’s always the possibility they're also engaged in other online activities too. Chances are, they and millions like them, are engaged by websites and other online resources as a result of those businesses having an integrated strategy of social media management.
The website which doesn't have some form of social media management strategy is the website which isn't connecting with current customers and potential future customers. Consumers nowadays aren't sitting around waiting for the latest promotions or sales to come to them. They are actively searching for the best deals, new products and essential services online. In a 24/7 world in which we live, a business which cannot deliver ‘on-demand’ is very likely to disappear fast.
Consumers are now keeping in touch by way of social media. Their numbers are constantly growing. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and RSS feeds are real time windows onto the outside world, easily accessed on hardware such as:
- Laptops
- Desktops
- Tablets
- Smartphones
By way of these devices consumers keep in tune with the wider world and, more importantly, actively engage the wider world.
Within the environment of the rapidly evolving social media element of online retailing, owners of small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) increasingly have to formulate a social media strategy to stay ahead.But what social media should you be thinking of and how do you implement it?
Of course Facebook and Twitter are the two most common platforms. But what about the others; which should be part of your online social media strategy? We’ve already mentioned a few but there are others, many of which are becoming increasingly relevant to online business promotion such as:
- Digg
- YouTube
- Foursquare
- Stumbleupon
Social media and the web in general are evolving at a rapid rate. What is news today is history in a few weeks or months (maybe). Some things catch on; others don't.
Running a business online demands a lot of time and energy. Then of course it requires an in depth knowledge of how to use social media and other web tools to maximise the potential of a business.
