Social Media
Social Media is an electronic communication where users create online communities to share information, ideas, messages, photos, videos and other content to promotion purposes.
The ability to share photos, opinions, events, etc. in real-time has transformed the way we live and, the way we do business. Retailers who use social media as an integral part of their marketing strategy usually see measurable results. The key to successful social media is to treat it with the same care, respect, and attention you do all of your marketing efforts.
Since it’s becoming difficult to keep up with social media definitions that seem to emerge every month. Hootsuite has created a comprehensive glossary of social media terms, which provide definitions for the most important social media terms to help you navigate social media platforms.

Social Media is Changing Everything
Facebook is by far the largest social platform on the planet, with 2.9 billion monthly active users. It’s followed by YouTube, which although it is about videos and music, is also generally considered a social network of sorts. YouTube has 2.5 billion monthly active users. WhatsApp, also owned by Facebook, has 2 billion users, and Facebook Messenger has about a billion monthly active users and are part of the biggest social media platforms.
While social media is generally accepted, the fact that people don’t question its value is all the more reason to think about exactly what its value is. Social media marketing is far more than an online popularity contest, and the better business owners understand that, the better they can use it for their companies.

The Most Targeted Form of Advertising

Just because it’s accessible, doesn’t mean it’s easy to use…properly.

“make sure you’re ready to respond to inquiries asap”
Facebook ads really work. We ran an ad campaign for 2 months, and it brought over 100 leads! We ended up having to stop running the ads because we couldn’t handle that many customers.
We’re starting a new campaign in 2022, but this time around we will be ready, you get the best results when you respond to them within an hour. I strongly recommend Local Digital Works. Just make sure you’re ready to respond to inquiries immediately to take full advantage of the incredible opportunity that Facebook ads provide.
