Social Media

This is the new web. Commonly referred to as Web 2.0, really all we have here is people adding to the internet through constant dialogue. This should not be feared but embraced. Don’t get stuck thinking the only way to do any business is to speak to someone. Today big companies like British Gas offer Twitter as a form of getting in touch over and above their telephone service. It’s quick and a potential customer can ask directly from their phone while they are off being productive elsewhere.

It’s quicker than email normally and offers a chance for you to put your best foot forward. You get to show how fast you are at managing enquiries, you can see reviews and measure the outcome of product launches. Hootsuite are masters at Social Media and their training and blog offer great insights to get you started. Take a look at their Social Media for Business posts.
