One of the top ways for companies to stay in touch with their customers is via social media. Places like Facebook and Twitter are both powerful free platforms that any business owner can use to connect with potential customers and existing customers. But like every other form of marketing it needs to be done correctly from the beginning, in this article we'll share some tips and strategies with the goal of helping you get a piece of the huge social media pie.

There are many major fortune 500 companies who are currently using Twitter as a form of customer service and also to post updates, offers and new info about their products and services. You can do the same even if you don't have a million dollar business yet. The first thing you should do is understand how to use Twitter correctly. Getting targeted followers and tapping into the huge audience of millions of people takes time so don't expect a huge following overnight.

When it comes to posting content on social media it's really important that you understand your target audience and you keep that in mind when posting pictures and information about your company. It does not matter which platform you use, it can be Twitter, Facebook or YouTube in the end your message must be direct and to the point.

Don't forget that social media is first and foremost a conversation. When a customer provides feedback, the door toward conversation has opened and many businesses fail to acknowledge this. Engage fully with the customers that contact you and build a mutually-rewarding dialogue with them. You can serve them better, and improve your business's performance, by cultivating a genuine interest in what your customers want and need.

Your online reputation is crucial to your success online. It does not matter what type of business, product or service you are selling, what matters is that customers can connect and find you on various social platforms so they know you are the real deal. We hope these simple tips help you and that you take advantage of the social media marketing wave.
