Social media is no longer optional for businesses. In today's competitive business world, one of the most effective ways for you to increase your visibility is to use social media. As a marketing expert and a social media manager with years of experience, I can help you manage your brand's online presence and reputation so that it can grow authentically.

Social media is no longer optional for businesses.
Social media has become such an integral part of our day-to-day that it's almost impossible to go a week without seeing someone share a photo, post a story, or share their thoughts on social media. In fact, social media is so popular that many people use it as their main source of news and information—and not just in the United States either! The number one social network in the world right now is Facebook, which boasts more than 2 billion monthly active users (MAUs).
So why do businesses need to pay attention to this trend? Because these numbers don't lie: consumers love using social media! They're creating content for brands and interacting with them on an unprecedented level. According to Nielsen's 2017 Total Audience Report: Digital Content Ratings Annual Review & Benchmark Data Set*, 59% of adults have used at least one social networking site within the last 30 days and 53% said they use multiple sites during that time period.

So, how does SMM helps build your brand?
Social media management helps build your brand in a number of ways.
It increases brand awareness.
It increases brand engagement.
It increases your online presence.
It can also increase traffic to your website and ultimately sales.
Make your business more visible and gain more traffic to your pages.
Social media is a great way to reach out to your target audience, which can lead to increased sales. If you’re looking for a way to market your business, promote your brand and build your brand all at once, social media is the place for you.
Monitor and manage your online reputation.
If you’re not monitoring and managing your online reputation, then who is? The answer is simple: absolutely no one. Sure, it might sound like something that could be taken care of by an intern, but if you want to make sure that your socials run smoothly, having a dedicated professional on staff is the only way to go.
You need to keep track of what’s being said about your brand online—and not just what’s good! You need to respond to negative comments and complaints too. If a customer has an issue with their order or experience, they should receive prompt attention.

SMM is an integral part of digital marketing.
If you’re not using it, you are missing out on one of the most powerful forms of advertising today.
SMM helps you gain credibility by showing how much effort you put into answering customer queries on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. This can help in building trust among your audience as they know they can turn to your SMM team when they need assistance or information regarding your products/services via social media channels such as Facebook Messenger (chatbots), Twitter Direct Messages (bots) etc.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat; these are just a few of many social media platforms that you can use to share your brand’s story.
Social media has become an essential part of the marketing mix for businesses of all sizes. In fact, it’s not uncommon to find that social media is a core component of your digital marketing strategy.
But why is this? Well, there are many reasons: Social media provides a way to reach your target audience in an authentic and non-intrusive way. And if you do it right, you can get a lot more done with less effort than other forms of advertising. But here's the thing...While social media may seem like an easy way to market yourself or build brand awareness, nothing could be further from the truth! The truth is that managing your own social accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest can take up hours upon hours each week without fail (and I'm sure Snapchat falls into this category too).
While building a strong online presence is not rocket science, it is time-consuming.
But while you may have the desire to be active in social media, it’s impossible to do everything yourself as a small business owner or entrepreneur. You need help managing your social media accounts so that they are updated consistently and that they reflect well on your brand.
Social media is an irreplaceable part of a modern-day business. It has become an industry in its own right, with millions of professionals working in this sector every day.
Do you have someone who will monitor your brand's online reputation day and night?
Are you certain that you are using the right hashtags or posting at the right time?
Are you sure that your content is up-to-date and fresh enough to attract new visitors?
