As a business owner, you must know your target market and find a way to engage and create a relationship with your clientele in order to generate sales. Social media makes it possible to connect with digital audiences and potential buyers, assuming you use the right tools to generate more sales.
Let's take a look at Bold x Collective’s list of how to use social media to increase your sales.
1. Know the Right Business Platforms for You
As a business on social media, it is important to know the right platforms for your target market. Find out the best platforms with the potential to reach your target audience with the help of analytic tools, market research, and demographics.
2. Brand Recognition
Establish a presence on your chosen platform by joining and engaging with online communities. Share engaging content that is relevant to your audience’s interests and only share information from credible sources. This will help build trust and increase your chances of building a customer base as a reliable and recognizable brand.
3. Connect
Upon establishing your brand recognition, connect with your customers - both current and potential. Engage with customers by commenting on posts and answering their questions. Reply to all reviews, even the bad ones and rather than arguing, ask your client for ideas on improving your product. By interacting with your customers online, you show them that you care about their experience with you.
“74 percent of consumers use social media to guide their purchasing decisions.”
4. Be an Active User
Savvy consumers are often seeking new information. Be an active user and provide them with relevant content. Use a variety of forms such as blog posts, Instagram videos, photos and more. Content ideas are endless! Whether you post a link or an analytic, or a podcast, your content should be unique, show off your brand and cater to your target audience.
5. Influencer Marketing
If you want to make more sales through social media, you need to use the power of social media influencers. Using a strategy, get them to feature your product in their photos or videos; get them to tell a unique or engaging story about why they picked your product or service. Another way to drive sales is having a unique promo code via your influencer, so people are more intrigued to make the purchase due to a discount.
6. Loyal Customers = Brand Advocates
You don’t always need to rely on influencers to promote your product. You can use the average person, also known as your existing customer. Your existing customers can transform into great brand advocates if you can get them to promote your products in exchange for discounts. You can find these customers with keyword and hashtag research related to your brand or product.
These are some of the most effective ways to increase sales for your business, using social media. At the end of the day, it all comes down to trust - you want your target audience to trust you, so they purchase your product or service and stay loyal in the long term.
