Have you made your business irrelevant online? Astonishingly enough I still hear on a daily basis, at least one business person say they are not interested in Facebook or other social media to promote their business online. Apparently those business people want to stay invisible and irrelevant on a media platform that can brand their business on a global scale.
An associate mentioned to me that some people currently view social media for marketing and advertising like people back in the 1950’s viewed radio some new fad that wasn’t worth their making room in for in their marketing budget. Savvy business people who saw the value of radio back in the 1950’s used it too make their businesses more successful. Today savvy business people can use social media, especially Facebook to enhance awareness about their business to their target market on a huge scale for much less money than a radio ad in today’s media. Social media is the present and the future.

Check out the infographic of the world map of social networking changes from June 2009 to December 2010. Facebook use is spreading throughout the world.
Facebook and Twitter are the top two social networking sites. Are you promoting your business on Facebook and Twitter? If your answer is no then what’s holding you back?
If social media has the power to move people to change history think about what it can do for your business. We live in a global economy. It’s time to get the word out about your business on a global scale with a Facebook Fan Page and a Twitter account.
I’ve heard people worry about using social media because they aren’t sure how to handle negative comments or bad reviews. They’ve heard some nightmare situation where an unfounded complaint was posted on a review site or someone’s Facebook Wall and the business spent days in an ongoing dialogue refuting the complaint.
Consider social media networks as an extension of your customer service. Here are some tips in dealing with negative reviews and comments posted online:
If the issue is too involved send the person a direct message on Facebook or Twitter. You can even ask for the customer’s phone number so you can contact directly. In the past, when I’ve had issues with my web hosting services tech support scheduled a phone appointment to deal with my customer service and technical concerns.
The point is to be proactive and have a person designated to handle customer service issues that come up through your social media profiles.
