The importance of social media for business

social media for business

How often do you find yourself habitually scrolling through social media throughout the day? Do you wake up and check your notifications? Do you check your newsfeed during your lunch break? 

The reality is, many of us spend several hours on social media each week, some of us each day. If you’re asking yourself why your business should be on social media, this is your answer: 

Over 3.6 billion people use social media worldwide! 

That’s a lot of people! Imagine how much exposure your business could get if you had access to this group. What’s great about social media is that anyone with Internet access can use it and that leaves the door open for you to get your business in front of these folks. 

If your business isn’t on social media, you’re missing out on some huge opportunities! 

It could be a potential customer’s first impression of you

How many of you have searched for a business online? Maybe you needed to know their store hours, or you wanted to send them a message to ask a quick question. Whatever the reason, searching for a business on social media is becoming the new norm, so it’s important for you to show that you’re active on these platforms.

Use social media to help your potential and existing customers learn more about you and what you have to offer. Make a lasting impression by presenting yourself as an industry leader. 

Build stronger relationships with your community

The key to getting more customers is to build a relationship with them. You have to “woo” them, just as you would if you were trying to impress a boy or girl that you like. Social media is one of the best avenues to do this, because it allows you to put a face to your company’s name

If you’re posting valuable content regularly and not just trying to sell, sell, sell, you’ll gain the trust and respect of your followers. 

Social media changes lives

Okay, I know this sounds a bit dramatic, but hear me out… You’ve created a product or service meant to help people solve a problem. Your presence on social media will help you get the word out about your product or service, therefore solving many people’s problems.

Who is Like It Marketing?

Who the heck is Like It Marketing? If that’s what you’re wondering, I have answers. 😊

Like It Marketing’s mission

I’m Tonya Tucker (not the country singer) and I’m the founder of Like It Marketing, a social media management company built to help business owners like you build your company’s social media presence through compelling stories and eye-catching designs.

Wow, that was a mouthful. Essentially, I’ll help you manage your social media pages so that you can focus on other areas of your business that you actually enjoy doing, because let’s face it: When you became a business owner you probably didn’t expect you’d have to spend so much time learning the ins and outs of the ever-changing social media world.

I’m here to take social media off of your full plate. Why? Because it’s what I love doing and you deserve a break. Storytelling has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and that’s exactly what social media is: a platform to tell your story. 

How I plan to accomplish Like It Marketing’s mission

  • Content strategy – Consider me your personal visionary who keeps up with the latest social media trends & tools so that you don’t have to!
  • Custom graphics – Brand consistency is key in social media, which is why I create custom graphics with your business’s branding in mind.
  • Compelling copy – Graphics draw people in, whereas copy (text) makes them stay. It just so happens that writing is my specialty. 😉
  • Scheduling – Too busy to post regularly? I can schedule your posts in advance so that you don’t have to worry about ghosting your customers.

So what makes me qualified to manage your social media pages?

I’m glad you asked (although technically I asked, but let’s not get into the details 😂). To answer your question simply, I believe I was born to write. Like that’s what I’m put on this Earth to do, besides spread cheer and kindness to the world, of course. 

My boring answer to this question is that I have almost four years of experience in the marketing field, I graduated at the top of my class while pursuing my bachelors degree in The School of Communication at the University of North Florida, and I’ve worked for an agency, nonprofit, and chamber of commerce. I’d like to think I’m pretty well-rounded, guys and gals.

What makes me different?
