in the way that they want, with applicable filters and
privacy settings abound. Getting information about your
business out to the public doesn’t work the same way it
used to. These days, business owners have come to
recognize the need to utilize social media tools. The world
has moved on and with it so has the means of
communicating not just with your friends, but with people
halfway around the world. It is important to be able to
reach your intended audience on their level with the
intention of generating a repeat and growing customer
base.

4. here are a few tips to take into account when it
comes to boosting business through social media:
Your Customers
• Be aware: your customer base has constant access to some form of
social media. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, all of these are relevant
sites where potential customers frequent almost daily. With your
own page or feed, you bring the relevant information to your
customer so that they do not need to do the searching for you. You
make finding your products easier for them and they are more
inclined to look into what your business can offer.

5. Buzz for Your Product
• With access to millions of people at once, social media forums will
allow you to discover others who are just as passionate about your
particular business industry, whether it is coffee, clothing, movies,
or food, as you are. Engage them in conversation and urge them to
share information about your business with their own followers,
thus encouraging other potential customers to join in discussions or
forums of topic.

6. Inventory
• Customers will not get excited about current or new products unless
you help them. If you are eager about a product, your customer will
be just as eager. Engage the customers and get them actively
involved. If the customer feels they have a voice in the production
value of a company, the more involved and invested they feel.
Conduct polls. Ask your followers to rate their favourite product. Let
them tell you what they like…

7. Business Updates
• …or don’t like. As a business owner, you are going to have to
develop thick skin. Not everyone has something pleasant to say.
Sometimes, that is a good thing. Weed out the constructive
criticism from the rest, and see to it that your company grows in the
right direction. Customers can see that you value their opinions
when taken into consideration.

8. Customer Rewards
• If a customer sees the value in returning to your business and
consistent involvement via social media, this encourages loyalty to
your product. Offer frequent buyer coupons or valued customer
discounts to further repeat business.

networks is crucial. Social networks open products
and business information to millions of potential
customers you would not have access to otherwise.
Keep in mind the five important points listed above
for boosting business across social media sites. These
