Information Released On The Value Of Social Media For Business

ProMediaAuthority, a business in San Diego, CA, has released information on the importance of social media for business. For many businesses, social media is still seen as hype, but its value in terms of marketing has been observed. ProMediaAuthority wishes to bring further attention to this.

Andrew Stangl, from ProMediaAuthority, says, "The benefits of using social media for businesses are very clear. Not only have the benefits been proven, but not using social media may actually harm a business. Since the search engines place such a high trust factor on social media sites, it is important to include these in any online marketing campaign."

Social media is a way to give a company some personality, because it allows for direct one-to-one interaction. Additionally, it is an opportunity for group conversations. Furthermore, it offers an opportunity to advertise products or services and have them seen by millions of people. News, events, competitions and promotions can all be shared rapidly, thereby increasing overall brand awareness.

"As soon as a business becomes involved in social media, they will start to build their brand awareness among their customers," adds Stangl. "Brand awareness is one of the most important components and results of good marketing. Not just that, but social media also allows a brand to be legitimized. People frequently check out a social media page before they decide whether or not to approach a particular business."

The bottom line of a business is also affected by its social strategy. Social media can help increase overall sales, while at the same time, help improve customer service. Finally, it is an opportunity to distribute content and connect with the public. With people becoming increasingly mobile and the growth of social platforms, it is critical for businesses to be visible where their customers are, especially as social media integrates with e-commerce.
