Many of us now use social media in our daily lives. Whether it be for catching up with friends and family, promoting our business or products/ services or simply to keep in contact with the local community and find out about what’s going on in the area.

As a business owner you should not under estimate the power of social media marketing and if you are not already on the sites, you need to get yourself a business profile. There are so many different social media sites it can be hard to know which one will get you the best results. Some social media sites work better for some businesses than others but often you may not find this out until you try it for yourself.

You don’t have to invest a lot of money more just your time but if you want to go the whole hog you could do paid for ads to really promote your business.

When creating a profile on a social media site such as Facebook or Twitter, be sure to add as much information to it as possible such as your opening hours, your address and contact details, photos of your business as this will help visitors who want to find out more about you.
