What’s Bad About Social Media?
Social media has had a powerful impact on the ways companies market themselves online. This shift towards online has been hard for many companies to adjust to. Because social media provides open channels of communication for customers, it can often lead to negative comments or reviews. If you’re focused on your social media, monitoring your Social Media channels for customer feedback can require a commitment of time and personnel that you’re not used to.
Right now we live in the age of attraction. Much of the content that is published is low quality. Everywhere we look on social media, companies and people are competing for your time and attention. Much of the content is not beneficial and often a waste of time.
Having a quality social media marketing campaign requires a commitment to quality information. Knowing how difficult it is to create quality content, you’ll need to commit resources to create the quality and type of content your customers might be interested in. It’s difficult to stand out in a crowd when 50 million other businesses are using Social Media channels like Facebook.
To be effective at social media, you’ll need to consider the look and feel of your channels. Design, the personality of your social media voice and your commitment to creating quality content is essential. Without this type of commitment you’ll find it difficult to achieve your social media marketing goals.
Social Media requires you to commit the time necessary to get it right. Social media is constantly changing and requires continuous learning. You can’t treat it like a sideline, an afterthought or dismiss it entirely because your customers have the voice. Who do you want speaking for your company?
Invest in your social media strategy and begin to build online relationships, and you’ll find that social media can be good for your business.

What’s Good About Social Media?
We all love social media, whether you like to admit it or not. Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have ingrained themselves into society–TV, newspapers, magazines–it’s just about everywhere we look. Sure, everything about SM isn’t great, but these are some ways social media can benefit your business.
As a small business it can be a great, inexpensive way to help your business mature. However, it doesn’t come without a cost. The time put into running a social media platform is your ultimate expense. Just as word of mouth is very powerful for a business of any size, there is no bigger collective mouth than social media if you are listening and interacting.
The collective word of mouth of social media can be very powerful in the hands of influencers who may be your customers. Their voice will be heard on social media and they can spread your brand name in the area or market leading to new connections and future prospects.
Social media makes it very easy to keep in touch with current customers and new prospects that you acquire. Not only keeping them updated on what’s happening in and around your business but for you to understand the lives of your customers to connect on a deeper level to show your compassion as a business owner.
Your social media platform is also one of the strongest outlets for sharing the content that you create. You may have a blog on your website where most of your content is held, but it is hard to drive people directly to websites. Sharing your blog posts on your social media platform will not only drive traffic to your website where you make sales but also demonstrate expertise in your field which will set you apart from the competition.
