It’s not a secret. Keeping up with personal social media takes time. Keeping up with social media for your business takes LOTS time and LOTS of effort. We see a variety of clients that are all in different houses when it comes to whether or not their business should participate in social media.

 

Here’s some responses we hear from our clients and the advise we give:

 

  1. “I don’t have time to do it.” If you can’t afford to keep up on it, then don’t do it. If you can’t commit to dedicating the resources needed to keep your social media up to date (or website for that matter), then don’t do it. Social Media isn’t for everyone, especially those that can’t foresee it’s value.
  2. “I don’t have enough content to make social media effective”. We hear this from clients all the time. And it’s bull. If you sell a service or a product, then you have enough to write about, you just aren’t in the “marketing mindset” to create the content yet.
  3. “I’m afraid of bad reviews.” If all you have are bad reviews, then you have a problem. If you have all 5 star articulately written reviews, “you’re fake”. A healthy mix of positive and negative reviews can be seen as “legitimate”. Responding to customer reviews helps boost your online reputation and engagement with your customer base. Let’s be honest, it makes your business look accountable and caring enough to “address the problem.”

So if you’re debating whether or not to take on social media marketing for your business, the answer is YES – you can do this and we can help. Call us today to discuss our Facebook For Business Services.
