How Social Media and Inbound Marketing work

Inbound marketing turns complete strangers into people who engage with your business. What better way to accomplish this than with inbound social media marketing? Social media by design attracts potential customers to engage with your brand, to make a product purchase or to utilize your company’s services.

According to Hubspot, 86% of consumers prefer an authentic and honest brand personality on social networks.

Not every social media channel is appropriate for every industry. And not every business can afford to hire a digital marketing agency to post to every single social media outlet in cyberspace every single day.

Reputation Management

Have you received a negative review? Are you concerned that it puts your business in a negative light and will deter potential customers from calling you?

Not responding to a negative review is worse than receiving a negative review.

Turn a negative review into an opportunity to show off your company’s quality customer service while building relationships with your customers through stellar professionalism.

Today’s consumers typically use search engines to vet a company before making a buying decision. This means they often check out a company’s customer reviews on Facebook, Yelp or Google. Because of this social media has become a cornerstone element in how search engines rank your website. Whether to lodge a complaint, sing your praises or ask a question, social media is where your audience wants to interact with you.

According to Edison Research, 63% of U.S. adults over the age of 12 use Facebook. Facebook attracts users from all ages — with 25% of its advertising audience in the 18-24 age range, according to Hootsuite. More older Americans over 55 have been using the platform since 2012, according to Pew Research.

Recent data from Facebook revealed that 3 million advertisers are active on their platform, 70% of which are from outside the U.S.

How to use Facebook groups

Instagram targest the largest age group

Instagram is easily one of the most powerful social media platforms for businesses to brand themselves and to engage with potential customers.  eMarketer predicts that Instagram will reach 1.1 billion users in 2022.
