Why on social media?

Social networks have evolved to become a very powerful tool for businesses. If you make good use of these platforms, you can attract millions of new users at the same time you have direct contact with existing customers thereby improving the brand experience and reputation every day. SMEs should use social networks as an essential tool to grow. The results according to a study by Wildfire, who asked about 700 companies in the digital world on social networks, shows:

• 88% – Boosting your brand: social networks allow us to achieve visibility through a clear and useful message to position ourselves in the minds of our consumers, achieving differentiation from the diverse range of competitors.
• 85% – Encourage dialogue: social networks allow being in direct contact with each client, listening to their needs and feedback continuously. This also allows each brand to improve gradually getting closer and closer to its customers and improving their experience. This direct link creates a human, honest and very trustworthy relationship.
• 58% – Increase sales and alliances: creating such closeness has a direct impact on company sales, as consumers increasingly being happier they buy more often. This also can be an opportunity to attract potential customers or create alliances of interest.
• 41% –  Reduce costs: social networks can be very useful to save money. Not only in terms of marketing strategy, as through social networks also you can do market research or recruiting staff.
