Social Media ROI Solutions

Using the phone isn’t hard, but there are certain unspoken rules—i.e. you don’t call to say “hi” at 4AM and you say “Hello?” (or some variant) when you answer. Phones also have come with a few tools, like *69 and voicemail. Social media is very similar—not hard to use, but if you don’t know the etiquette, you’ll annoy a lot of people with a (figurative) 4AM phone call.

Also, while you could use the phone to randomly dial numbers and try to get new customers, it’s much more effective (and legal) to call potential customers within your target market and with their permission. Similarly, you can use social media to spam (and anger) millions, or you can employ tools and best practices for finding and interacting with your specific customer base.

Social media has an extraordinary number of snake oil salesmen in its midst. We want to protect you from them by showing you how to use social media tools yourself. Later, you may decide to hire someone to help with day-to-day social media tasks (just as you may hire a phone answering service), but you’ll be fully aware of what they should be doing.

There are many ways social media can bring in new customers, sell more products, and increase customer service—and there are many ways social media won’t do any of these things. Learn how to distinguish the tasks worth spending your time on from the ones that aren’t, so you can stay focused on your business.
