If your company<\/span> is not currently using social<\/span> media<\/i><\/b> as part of its marketing<\/span> plan, then I’m sure at some point it’s been considered.\u200b The question is what’s holding you back?\u200b Yes, social<\/span> media can be time consuming and maybe that’s not a luxury you can afford right now; however, if you invest the time and money into a good social<\/span> media marketing<\/span> plan<\/a>, then it will pay off in the long run.\u200b How?\u200b If done right, social<\/span> media has the ability to increase your sales.\u200b 40% of businesses around the world have acquired new customers through social<\/span> media (HubSpot<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The number of consumers and decision makers for other businesses online is enormous.\u200b The reach a company<\/span> has with social<\/span> media is so much bigger than there has ever been with traditional marketing<\/span>.\u200b I’m not saying throw traditional marketing<\/span> out the door.\u200b There’s a way to couple traditional marketing<\/span> with online marketing<\/span>, which can give you a big bang for your buck.<\/p>\n

We live in a world where most people are virtually connected in some way at some point each day.\u200b Smart phones<\/span> have especially increased the reach that you can have with other businesses and consumers.\u200b If you have a smart phone<\/span>, then you probably have it with you the majority of the time.\u200b So, you have the ability to always be in the know on what’s happening with those you’re connected to through social<\/span> media and to share that info with everyone else you’re connected to.<\/p>\n

For example, let’s say Company<\/span> XYZ tweets to its followers that they can go watch their latest Powtoon<\/a> video<\/span>, which has information about their latest sales.\u200b The people following them are gonna love it and tell all of the people that follow them\u2026so now you’ve just increased your following and probably gained some new customers.\u200b Plus, people are now going to come experience your store\/brand that may never have before\u2026giving you an increase in sales!<\/p>\n

Social<\/span> media helps to tell the story about your company<\/span>\/brand.\u200b You build relationships, share pictures and videos<\/span>, offer coupons, and so much more.\u200b It doesn’t have to be difficult if you know where to get the right tools.\u200b For example, you may think creating a promotional video<\/span> for your company<\/span> would be crazy hard and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be that way.\u200b Powtoon<\/a> offers an easy to use tool that works like PowerPoint<\/span>.\u200b There’s a free version as well as paid versions.\u200b Powtoon<\/a> is a great way to help you get on your way to implementing a social<\/span> media marketing<\/span> plan!<\/p>\n
