How do you use social media for your business?
Are you considering using social media to promote your business?
Social media can really help businesses to increase their online presence if and only if used with proper etiquette. I heard many business owners just think that social media can increase the number of sales even if they are beginner on social media. I also came across many business owners who say how many sales I can get in one day using social media from the scratch. I got fed up when I interact with such kind of people and always tell them that social media is not a selling platform, it is about building relationship and trust with people to make them customer and then turn them into marketing volunteer army.
