Social Media – Can’t I do it myself?
When it comes to Social Networking for business, consistency is the key and visibility is all about participation, so there is no benefit in creating an account on Twitter or Facebook yourself, sending a few updates out and then forgetting about it for a week or two before you do it again. There simply must be regular updates being sent out, as well as maintained engagement with others using these mediums. Each update will be created and put in place by your dedicated account manager, allowing you to simply concentrate on the day-to-day running of your business, which of course is what you are most effective at.
Delegation is also vital due to the time it takes every day, seven days a week – believe us when we tell you that we’ve got the time for it when you haven’t! To give you an idea, the average time spent maintaining each Social Media account is 32 hours per month and you would in most cases be using more than one. It doesn’t take much of a mathematical genius to work out the expense you would incur in both resources and money if you were to do it yourself or delegate to an employee. If you agree that your business would benefit from a Social Media Campaign and that your time is better spent elsewhere then you can always outsource it to us. We would certainly love to work with you on it, so shoot us an email…
