10 Ways Small Business Can Benefit From Social Media
By Tony Restell
The infographic below made it to my inbox this week, reflecting on B2B opportunities arising from Social Media. Some interesting stats contained within - and whilst I can't see the exact source for each of them, I was pleased to see the array of small business benefits arising from social media getting some coverage.
What small business wouldn't want to:
- Remove marketing expenses or improve sales?
- Grow business partnerships or establish themselves as thought leaders?
- Improve Google search rankings or generate leads?
- Provide market insight or develop loyal fans?
- Increase traffic and increase exposure?
Of course there are plenty of people out there who'll rubbish the notion that businesses can achieve all this on social media - and that's principally because they've tried and failed to do so themselves. While using social media is still largely free, getting results from social media is far from straightforward. So thinking you can do this on a shoestring, without investing in skills development or outside assistance, is a sure way to becoming another of those who cry foul.
