Why Business Retailers should Embrace Social Media?

Just a few years ago the formula for success consisted of finding the right commercial retail location, suppliers and traditional advertising such as print and radio.

Social media has changed not only how consumers shop but how they find, connect and talk about your business. “The web has changed from something we do to how we live”, according to social media experts.  

There are four main points to consider in keeping up with social media in business.

First, business owners need to truly learn and know about their customers; what is their family and social circumstance, their level of community involvement and expectations as potential and continuing customers.

Secondly, it’s critical to learn what is being talked about online. What are customers saying about your business, products or services?

The third step is to stay connected! This can be done by being proactive in conversation by asking engaging questions designed to elicit responses and draw people into the conversation.

Last but not least, regularly reviewing your social media analytic to make sure you are on track.

Some final advice from experts: “Keep things on a human level not just business”.
