Social Media -Why should you use it?
Why use social media?
Social media is becoming one of the main ways to communicate, spread the word and advertise your business.
Social media can strengthen your online presence by giving your customers a dynamic ever-changing feed of useful information.
Here are the following reasons why I think East Lothian’s Artists, Designers and Makers should use it…
1. Digital WOM : Social media is the digital word of mouth, except this time you are telling the world!
If your comment or tweet is interesting it will be shared and liked and seen by a large audience across the world within hours.
2. On the Go: You can do it on the go, while you are waiting for the bus or even on the bus. The majority of us have smart phones, so get your Twitter or Facebook app and get posting! Not sure how to do this? check out instructions here… Twitter: https://support.twitter.com/groups/54-mobile-apps and Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/mobile/
3. 24/7 : Social media is always working for you… No matter where you are or what you are doing, your tweets, posts and comments are being read. (even when you are sleeping!)
4. Have FUN and be you!: It can be great fun, you can show your human side and share things you like or think your customers would be interested in, it does not have to be all business!
5. Be a sponge: There is always more to learn… Social media is an ever growing matrix of information, functions and new platforms.
