Social Media is it helping small brands to get notified?

    Hi Guys,

    Does Social media is successful in helping the small brands getting better exposure or is it only limited for the big driven brands which already has brand identity?

    Observed more number of followers for the established organization but poor engagement level for the small brands.

    It is, actually, one of the best tools for a small business to get noticed, because it costs almost nothing and can be effectively used for customer service and product showcasing. Yes, things happen slowly, but if you are patient and active, it will payback :)

    social media is definitely putting all brands and businesses at the equal stage if they can use it effectiviely.

    I have personally seen small businesses doing some great social media penetration with their efforts like creating free sweekstakes, contests and etc which results into their massive awareness and branding..

    Hello,
    Nowadays, social media plays vital role to promote your brands whether it is small or large. Social media is most helpful if the business is product base. Means it is very helpful for product showcasing.

    Not only facebook is good for small business, think about the possibilities on youtube: have a good idea, make a funny or impressive video and go viral. You can't say that way is easy to go but at least open for everyone.

    Friends i agree too Social Media is a platform for creativity and social intelligence.
    But often brands fail to magnify their presence. The cause for this is sole the lack of creativity?

    If you have some good ideas to make your business facebook site go viral, it'll be probably the best way to promote in the internet.

    Social media is designed in that way that anyone big or small
    can build a huge authority over time.

    Social media is about people and building relationships by being helpful and open.
    It a very big factor in determining whether someone will actually buy your products or services.
    Remember, people will buy from you only when they trust and like you!

    So you never know! :)

    I've personally found that FACEBOOK is good for community building, Twitter is good for reputation management and LinkedI n is best for sales of any kind.

    Social networking definitely works if you do it in steady, drip drip, type of way. aa little bit every day is the best approach. And don't try and do all the networks in one go.

    Make sure to separate out the genuinely interesting people. For example, have a special list on Twitter, or special circle on Google plus.

    That way you can always prioritise your time if you want to see some decent posts quickly.

    Social Media sites are one of the most effective internet marketing strategy that you can have. It is because of the fact that you can engage with your customers and more potential clients in real time. Not only big names or big brands can utilize social media, even small business or starting organizations can have the benefit of being known through the use of these tools, of course with the help of search engines. Use your social media sites with your own website so that you can have a lot of chance to find your niche in the online world.

    Social media is the master key for many small businesses. Yet many small business firms dont make use of it to the fullest. One must contribute high effort like time and dedication to achieve your goal.
    Social media is a great way to build target audience, build authority. Its a low-cost way to get traffic. This is the best way to for those small businesses which dont have resources to 'buy' any advertising.
