You don’t need to spend any cash in creating your business profile in Facebook which is why it’s feasible for small businesses. You can also track how much your customers interact with the use of the insight page. However, if you want to boost your promotion, you do need to cough out some cash. Facebook is an essential tool for any enterprise that it has become a “standard” to have one.
2. Pinterest
In order for bead products to be better promoted it needs to be visually engaging. This is when Pinterest comes along. It’s another social media site that is more geared on images and shared interests. So, if you have a bead business, you can share your bead images and connect with customers who are really into beading. In this way, you can promote your business easier since the users are already “filtered” due to their interest and hobbies. Your Pinterest followers can share your images or promotions which is a great way to get the attention of users who have the same passion and liking.
3. Twitter
Twitter allows users to send out SMS that contain 140 characters or less. But what makes Twitter a must for businesses is not only because of its millions of users but its unique way to connect users. If you have a bead event you can create a “hashtag” and see how your followers interact with you and the event. Twitter is like an easy, fast, and hassle-free way to connect and interact with customers and potential prospects.
