Over the years, Social Media has been widely accepted as an easy way of communication between people, but what most people don’t know is, Social Media can also be used as a tool to enhance your business’ growth in sales, visibility and otherwise.

Reports show that there are more than 4.2 billion people active users of social media around the world, which makes the digital market the largest, fastest and most effective market in the world.

But despite its immense population, statistics show that 50% of small businesses aren’t using social media marketing and 25% of small businesses aren’t planning to use social media to promote their business in the future either.

This might seem like an alarming number based on the generation we live in, but it all draws down to their inability to see the benefits of social media to their business or their lack of adequate knowledge on how to get started.

So let’s look at how social media can help your business flourish.
1. Growing Your Brand’s Awareness:
Growing your brand’s awareness and gaining recognition are two factors that are very important in digital marketing because customers prefer buying from brands they recognize.

Social Media helps you to quickly and easily make your brand visible to your audience when they are thinking about your products and services or not.

A great way of increasing your brand’s reach is hashtags. When you add a hashtag to your post, your post appears anywhere the hashtag is searched. But bear in mind that many hashtags don’t necessarily mean many engagements. Be careful while using hashtags because too much of it makes your post lose its value hence making it hard to find.

2. Affordability:
One of the major benefits of social media is that there are no charges attached to creating a social media profile and posting organic content. So, you can start your brand online for absolutely FREE.

However, if you want to promote your business further and go the extra mile, you can pay for ads and promotions which will increase your products’ exposure and help in boosting your sales

3. It Helps You To Drive Conversions And Boost Sales:
After you grow your brand’s awareness and get traffic, you need to convert that traffic into sales, and there are various ways to go about that.

Adding a Call to Action in your content is one of those ways. A call to action motivates your customer to take an action, such as buying your product.

Creating ads that make your audience not feel tricked while patronizing you is another way of driving conversions. With the use of social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, you can directly post ads to your target audience’s timeline, which will lead them directly to your page, and further drive conversion.

You can also build a landing page to which you can direct your traffic, and increase conversions.
