Social Media For Small Business Training

Posted by drm on Jun 19, 2013 in Training | 0 comments

Regardless of the size of your business, in today’s world it’s important to engage with your customers wherever they are.

Traditionally you may have secured business through more traditional methods such as in-store promotions, leaflet drops or as a result of ads in a local paper.

And, while these methods still continue to drive sales for many, quite often we come across businesses who are still overly dependent on these options.  Often it’s simply because they’re wary of trying out something a little different even though their customers are now exposed to greater competition if they’ve chosen to use social networks.

Hashtags arrive on Facebook

For those of you familiar with twitter or instagram you’ll be familiar with how the hashtag or # works.  Essentially it differentiates your conversation thread so that those with an interest in a particular topic can follow what’s being discussed on it.

We covered how hashtags might be used on twitter in a previous blog post for those of you just getting started on twitter.  They’re also in use on other social networks such as Instagram or Pinterest so for many this isn’t a totally new idea.

Following rumours which started earlier this year hashtags have now arrived on Facebook too so that we can now follow threads in conversations based around who we share our updates with.
