Social media is becoming a popular and indispensible tool for today’s small businesses. Through websites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, business owners can promote products, communicate new information, and engage customers in a new, easily accessible way. However, using social media effectively to grow your business can be tricky, requiring strategy, research and planning.
Tell us:
Which social media websites have you had the most success with?
How do you use social media to engage and communicate with your customers?
How do you integrate social media with other online mediums you may offer, like your website or blog?
I have found twitter to provide the most traffic to my websites although facebook seems to offer more potential. Facebook users seem more resistant to anything 'promotional' in my experience.
I think social media should always be kept light hearted when dealing with customers as that is the norm on the platform as a whole. Sharing interesting, relavant news articles and trends can work.

Hi,
for the moment I did not experience social media within my business scope. Perhaps I should give it a try, but I don't think it should be a major upgrade in my business area.

For the moment i have one personal website that i`m looking to improve and create one business around this . I`m using Social Bookmark Website to promote it . Facebook fan page is a great way to spread out the story of your business but there are lot more social websites that can help your business . B2B websites are the most popular for promoting your business (wholesale business) .

I agree, Facebook and other social networking sites play a huge role in
marketing by making the business connect with the customers and clients. This
also creates a buzz about the business and a positive air about it so that
more and more people use your service or product.
