Social Media = Free Advertising!
An easy and FREE method to advertise your services or products is with the use of social media! Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are effective ways to communicate with your customers and build a client base for your business, and it's
free
advertising!
The beauty of these social media outlets is that it's all about pictures and videos and very few words. People who frequent these platforms do not want to read your life story, they want to see what new products you are making, the creativity of your work, the beauty of the wood, or see the results of the services you offer.
Three golden rules when using a social media outlet:
- Post pics/news at least a couple times a week
- Include reliable contact information
- Make sure that someone is checking for messages daily! You do not want to lose a $10,000 sale because a potential customer did not receive a timely response and went shopping elsewhere!
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are all easy to navigate and are very effective advertising tools. Take the time to use them or ask a family member or friend to help you out. You will be pleased with the results!
