They\u2019re checking out brands, researching products, and joining groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their social media platform plays a big role in their purchasing decisions. You want to be there with a social media strategy that puts your brand front and center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assess these reasons why building your authority in one of the social media platforms is important:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-get-ahead-of-the-competition-with-a-social-media-presence\">1 &#8211; Get ahead of the competition with a social media presence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Half of businesses still do not use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/six-10-businesses-still-dont-24175018\">social media strategy<\/a>.

That gives you a golden opportunity to reach out and build relationships with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating an emotional connection with your customer base is easier than you think.

It\u2019s making your brand the one people think of first when they&#8217;re ready to buy. You become a household (or conference room) name when people encounter your brand multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cRule of 7\u201d is a valuable benchmark and states that consumers need to encounter your brand about seven times. After that, your brand will likely come to mind when they\u2019re ready to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people use their social media profiles to share their weekend photos. Increasing brand awareness puts you at the forefront of their minds when they\u2019re away from social media and reaching into their wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-attract-new-customers\">2 &#8211; Attract new customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People spend more time on social media every year.&nbsp; Your business\u2019s social media profile attracts new customers more effectively than television. Targeted ads, groups on social media, and <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/social-media-tags\/\">hashtags<\/a> put your brand in front of your ideal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-higher-engaged-customers\">3 &#8211; Higher engaged customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your brand\u2019s social media profile is the ultimate interactive marketing strategy. You\u2019re turning a passive audience into an engaged force of potential customers by increasing followers, collecting likes, and responding to comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-improved-customer-service\">4 &#8211; Improved customer service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media plays a bigger role than ever in how enterprises handle customer service. Unhappy customers will beeline for your brand\u2019s social media profile when their efforts through other customer service channels fail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But increasingly, customers are going straight to their preferred social media site for customer service issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-garner-more-partnerships-and-collaborations\">5 &#8211; Garner more partnerships and collaborations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody is on social media, and that includes other brands and influencers. You can collaborate with any number to expand your reach and increase your authority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencer marketing, especially, can outperform other social media management marketing methods by up to 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-helps-in-talent-acquisition\">6 &#8211; Helps in talent acquisition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your potential customers aren\u2019t the only ones checking out your brand on social media. Top talent will investigate your online presence to determine whether you\u2019re a company they want to work for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prospective employees look at everything from your reputation, values, and ratings before accepting a job offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-aids-during-crisis-management\">7 &#8211; Aids during crisis management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having an established presence on at least one social media site will be a lifesaver when a crisis occurs. You can quickly pivot to damage control by responding appropriately to negative news through your social media profile.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-get-customer-feedback-and-market-research\">8 &#8211; Get customer feedback and market research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The immediate nature of social media also makes it a great place to get customer feedback and perform market research. You can use your business\u2019s social media account to<a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/surveys\/\"> conduct surveys<\/a>. Or use<a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/customer-insights\/\"> insights<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/competitive-benchmarking\/\"> benchmarking<\/a> to learn more about your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-build-social-proof-with-authority\">9 &#8211; Build social proof with authority<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already mentioned that customers and potential employees will scope your social media profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What they\u2019re looking for is <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/social-proof-examples\/\">social proof<\/a> that you\u2019re an authority within your industry.

Below, we\u2019ve listed common ways companies botch up their social media strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not having a clear purpose. Instead, create SMART goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not posting relevant industry news or blogs regularly. Instead, posting regularly will keep social media users interested and keep your social media posts visible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not using relevant hashtags. Instead, be part of the conversation and expand your reach by using hashtags smartly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not being authentic. Social media users can spot a fake. Instead, be genuine and show empathy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not having a plan. Instead, create a roadmap to achieving your SMART goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relying solely on automated responses. You\u2019ll come across as spammy and cold. Instead, use the human touch to connect authentically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ignoring or responding defensively to negative feedback. Remember, your potential customers are watching. Instead, always be polite and professional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bombarding your audience with too much promotional content. Social media users don\u2019t like advertisements. Instead, show your worth with informational, thought-leading content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not using social media platform-specific features like Stories and Reels effectively. Instead, make the most of your social media profiles by diving deep into what each platform offers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-1-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"Overview of Birdeye Social.
