Grow Company Social Media Presence

How to Help Your Company Grow Its Social Media Presence

Welcome to the new world of eCommerce. It's new because the environment shifted during the COVID pandemic of 2020. Instead of relying on brick-and-mortar locations, companies went mobile during the year.

The result was over five trillion dollars of online sales across the globe. By 2023, it's estimated that nearly a quarter of consumers will shop online. Thus, you have to be ready to move sooner than later.

One way to do this is with the improvement of your digital presence, and this includes social media. Here are a few ways to help your company grow through this environment.

Build The Right Mobile App

Yes, a mobile application connects to social media. Not only in advertising but also in what is called metadata. In basic terms, this is information that describes other data and links to their site.

When you make this happen, it increases your Apple Store and Google Play optimization. In other words, your app has a higher standing in these locations than others on the market. You can make this happen in one of two ways.

The first is through an application creation platform. Companies like Buildfire exist for you to design a mobile app that fits your company. This is where you optimize the programming with links to various social media platforms.

The second way is via a development team. This is a more expensive way to create an application. However, they have subject matter experts on staff that know how to optimize the package on app stores.

Content Generators

It's hard to constantly create social media content relevant to your company and products. You could base your feed on pure promotion. However, followers get tired of this and will start moving away. The solution is to use a content generator.

These platforms allow you to find stories relevant to your organization. Through practice, you end up entering the right keywords to get material. In turn, you post daily without seeming too promotional.

Avoid Conflict

It's easy to use your personal and business social media platforms as a bully pulpit. Unfortunately, that's also a downside. An overdose of complaints or trolling other individuals and companies reduces your likes to nearly zero. Or you end up getting followers who would rather troll than make purchases.

Avoid conflict as much as possible, even on your personal feed. People will eventually connect you to the business. Though you might be an employee and not one of the organization's founders, it still hurts them. Also, there are enough people on social media who spout venom.

You want your personal and business pages to be positive. They should detail what's going on behind the scenes. Social media is also a good place to track the development of your new product. It allows followers to be proverbial flies on the wall.

Offer Social Media-Based Incentives

A good way to increase revenue and a client base is to give things away. For example, you offer a free eBook to website visitors or a barcode for a unique item on the mobile app. You should do the same thing with social media to increase followers.

However, it needs to be unique. Duplication of the website or app giveaway doesn't help. Fortunately, you can do this through different means. For instance, have followers tell you why they deserve the free item. Another option is to use a randomizer program to generate a winner. There are many tools available.

Hold A Live Q&A Session

Facebook, among others, allows you to hold live video sessions. This is a great opportunity to tell new and existing customers a bit about the company and promote new products. Also, they can ask you questions about your motivations and what you want to see the company do in the new year. It's a close as a face-to-face conversation people can have on the internet.

Research these suggestions before you decide to enact them. If one doesn't work, then try another. Rework the ideas until they start to make an impact.

Overall, take advantage of what each social media platform offers. They provide unique opportunities for you to reach out to your customers while promoting your products.
