A lot of businesses often misunderstand what it means to be a social business. Rather than just registering for a Twitter or a Facebook account, being social requires you to actively interact with your online audience on a regular basis (rather than relying on a Twitterbot to do your handy work).
And it’s not just about posting regular content, but making sure that your followers feel heard and creating a thriving community that identifies closely with your brand.
Social media is a great tool to gain more exposure for your business while at the same time interacting with your customers in a more conversational manner.
