With Facebook and Twitter becoming more popular all the time many businesses are choosing to use them as a way to market their business. Social media has proven to be a better way to market businesses than traditional marketing methods. We personally use social media to market all of our website as you can find people that are actually interesting in what you are trying to advertise and furthermore you can easily build a community around what you are trying to advertise. For example web design is great to advertise on social media.

Easily find new customers

Twitter and Facebook are great places to find new customers. They can easily get an idea of your brand right from your profile so make sure your profile reflects your brand and gives you a positive look. Furthermore when people like your page on Facebook then this often shows up to their friends. Providing you with more exposure and therefore hopefully more customers. Furthermore you can easily advertise special offers and run competitions on your social media pages, this has proven to be an effective way of gaining new customers. The fact that social networks are free makes them even better.

Keep your customers up to date

When dealing with a lot of customers it can be hard to keep them all up to date with your latest offers and promotions. Well you can easily broadcast messages to all of your customers via social media, keeping them all up to date with your latest news. Many customers are often interested and like to keep up to date with businesses so social networks are a great free way to do this.
