Did you know that Facebook has 175million users and Twitter 75million users who log in on a regular basis.  More and more businesses are effectively using it as part of their marketing communications.

Since our last e-newsletter Bright Light Marketing have held a number of one to one training sessions with businesses to help start them on the their Social Media journey by assisting with set up and taking them through how to attract followers and how to use Social Media to tell the story about their business and get new business.

Some of the benefits of social media are:

Sell your product cost effectively – Facebook and Twitter are free so it is a cost effective way of marketing to current and future clients.

Increase traffic to your website – Using Social Media will increase traffic to your website and will be noticed by the search engines.

Bring you business – Social Media is not just a way of raising awareness about your business, it will also bring you business.  For example a few weeks after using Twitter a retail client had a customer come into one of their shops to buy a specific product which she had learnt about on Twitter or as someone said about a hotel client on Twitter "I am going to visit this hotel as they have communicated with me".
