What is Social Media?
Social media constitute an important part of the online presence of your company. Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok, Linkedin, Instagram, Youtube are some of the most famous social networks that have millions of users. It has been a long time since the most renowned companies realized the potential of social media marketing. For this reason, they pay particular attention to their active presence on social networks by employing specialized personnel and they integrate social media into their online marketing.
How does the use of social media benefit a business?
Social Media bring visitors to your website. Even if you have invested in a detailed and presentable website, its visitor traffic may remain low. Having an active online presence on social media will bring many new visitors to your website, improving your search engine ranking.
It is an easy targeting method to reach your business audience. Social media allow you to discover your target group and thus manage more efficiently your advertising campaigns. For instance, Facebook and Insights can provide information like the age, the gender etc., allowing you to define your target audience in a direct and precise manner and therefore manage the money invested in your online advertising in the best way possible.
It is a low-cost promotional tool. Business profiles on social networks allow you to approach a large audience of potential customers and require little or no cost in comparison to other conventional ways of advertising. This makes the promotion of your company even more effective.
Sales improvement. The use of social media can help your company promote its messages, attract new customers and therefore increase the sales of its products or services. A simple search allows you to detect many new customers that are interested in your product or service and approach them directly.
It offers a direct and active communication with your customers. Social networks mainly act as a communication channel, such as the telephone or the e-mail. It is a great way to track your customers opinion of your company, answer their questions and respond to possible complaints. Interaction with customers on social media highlights the humane character of a company, enhancing the loyalty of its customers to it.
*The online presence of a company solely on the social media is not recommended at all. Its corporate identity should be promoted through an official website. Social media should reinforce the online presence of the company and attract visitors to its website. Moreover, a website should be social media friendly, facilitating content sharing. A successful online marketing means that the website and the social media are complementing each other.

The process we follow
- We develop an action plan that can be the key to a successful online presence on social media. For instance, your objective may be to develop a promotional strategy of your new business on social media, in order to increase your clientele. This strategy may involve sharing original material regularly in order to continuously interact with your followers. We present you with a detailed Social Media Marketing Plan, which is implemented upon approval.
- We create a company profile on social media. Each social network has its own character and specific ways of transmitting messages and approaching audiences. The type and the profile of a company (commerce of products or provision of services) often determine which social networks are the most suitable to promote its features effectively. For example, a law firm that emphasizes its professionalism, prestige and reliability may be best promoted on social networks like Twitter, Linkedin or Quora. Whereas, a company that sells children’s toys would be more effectively promoted on social networks that place emphasis on their visual content and their friendly character, such as Facebook and Pinterest. We advise you on which social networks would better showcase your business image and goals.
