The Social Media Playbook for Small Business
Small businesses have limited time and resources to do just about everything—and that includes reaching customers on social.
But what you might not realize is that small businesses like yours also have a leg up when it comes to social media. You can be more agile, try more things, and have more fun than most large corporations. And that can be a huge win when it comes to social—you’ve just got to be willing to jump in, take some risks, test, and learn.
In this playbook, we’ll show you how to spend your time focusing on the right areas so you can get results and grow your business on social.
O que você vai aprender
- Ways to build brand awareness and community
- How to get people to buy your products and services
- Tips for keeping customers coming back for years to come
