Social media is a valuable tool for businesses and it does not have to be overwhelming. Don’t let confusion or lack of information about social media platforms get in the way of growing your business’ online audience. Knowing which social media platform is right for your business can be a challenging process. However, focusing on specific marketing and networking goals, while familiarizing yourself with the features offered by each platform, will make that process easier.
Building business profiles across multiple social media platforms can greatly increase your impact when it comes to marketing, as well as allow for more audience engagement. There is a massive audience online, and using the appropriate social media platforms can help your business tap into it.
Social media is primarily used by young adults between the ages of 18 and 29, followed closely by individuals 30 and older. In November of 2016, Pew Research reported that 86 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds use at least one social media platform. Facebook is by far the most broadly used social media platform, with more users than Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Pinterest combined.
The data also showed that most social media users check their accounts daily. This means that your brand could be seen by over 1 billion social media users every single day. That exposure is invaluable, and your business should be using social media actively as a means of extending your reach and engaging with your target audience.
The best way to leverage social media for your business is to know what each platform offers and what goals they can each accomplish. Match up these features with the specific goals and needs of your business to begin networking and connecting with the online audience that is waiting for you.
