Advertising & Social Media Tools to Launch Your Business to the Next Level

As a small business owner, you can use social media and other advertising tools to reach new customers and grow your brand. Social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Youtube LinkedIn and Instagram offer a great way to connect with potential and current customers. Each platform has their own type of posts and specific audience, so your posts on each platform can be tailored to reach a difference type of audience in a different way. By creating engaging content and running targeted ads, you can reach a wider audience and build relationships with customers.

Social media can be used to drive traffic to your website or online store – with free advertising – or with promoted posts. Platforms like Google AdWords allow you to target potential customers with ads based on their search terms. This ensures that your ad is seen by people who have already expressed interest in that particular category.

There are also several third-party websites like HootSuite or Witly that can post social posts to all of your platforms at once, or run campaigns to targeted email lists. To get started, consider creating a social media advertising budget and using tools like Hootsuite to schedule and track your posts. You should also regularly monitor your social media metrics to see what’s working and adjust your strategy accordingly. With a little effort and a very small budget, you can harness the power of social media advertising to take your business to the next level.

Utilizing the advertising tools that work alongside your consistent social media presence, you can build relationships with potential and current customers, share important information about your products and services, and build brand awareness to connect with other businesses in your industry. But in order to be successful on social media, it is important to post regularly and to interact with your followers. You’ll want to post consistently every day with graphics, testimonials, market updates, words of wisdom, questions & answers, and more. (Remember, you can design free graphics in Canva or free videos in Quik to add an extra spice to your posts!)

As you get started, you’ll want to consider what your goals are. What do you hope to achieve by using social media advertising? Then you can begin to develop a strategy for reaching these goals. You’ll also want to consider who your target audience is…Who do you want to reach with your social media ads? Identifying your target audience will help you to create ads that are more likely to resonate with them – and to narrow down which social platforms you may need to consider utilizing. As briefly mentioned above, you’ll need to regularly keep track of your results. Check in on your social media analytics will help you to see how well your ads are performing and make adjustments as needed.
