Why your company should get social.
What is the first thing you do when you get home from work? Check Facebook. How do employees pass the time on their lunch break? With social media. Social media has established itself into everyday life, and it’s not going to budge anytime soon.
Businesses should stop looking at social media as a social out of work activity.
Some of the biggest companies in the world are using Facebook, and Twitter for marketing purposes. The computer company Dell uses Twitter for customer service purposes and provides special offers, deals for those following them on the networking site.
Companies using social media networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are now starting to see the benefits. Did you know, Dell announced it made £6.5 million US dollars in revenue from their involvement with Twitter.
Dell uses Twitter to “listen and learn” from their customers directly. The number of customers following Dell online has increased considerably, with “11,844” people following them on Twitter @DellOutLet.
The message is clear, get social, social networks are here to stay.
