You may think that Instagram and Facebook is enough for your business, but if you’re running a company you want people to interact with, you need to go beyond these basic social media sites. Ignoring social media entirely isn't an option for you if you want your business to be noticed and taken seriously. You need to remember that any business that wants to be promoted needs to be on every single social media page possible - especially on those where your audience tends to frequent. 


When you learn that your clients aren't just on Instagram and Facebook but they’re on LinkedIn and TikTok, too, you need to expand your social media efforts to be able to promote what you can offer in a better way. You cannot be without social media in the digital world that we live in today; your business won’t be able to thrive without it. Below, we’ve got five reasons your business really does need social media and you can’t be without it!

The market out there? It’s huge. You need to know that around the world, more people have a LinkedIn or Facebook page than any other social media. LinkedIn is the business version of Facebook and one of the best places that you can network your business. If you consider all the other social media options on top of these two, it shouldn't be a shock to you that you need it to be seen!

  1. You want to go viral. You want your business to reach all corners of the world and for this to happen, you need to be on social media. Your ability to be a viral business star is only possible if you know that you have the right social media strategy. All of the tools for sharing are available here and the networks are already in place, so you need to get on it!

  2. Social media is interactive. Conversations, questions, polls, sharing and more, social media enables your business to be social - that’s the point! You can actively engage with customers and build a good relationship with them in one place.

  3. Social media is personal. Businesses offer a professional front, but if your business is such that engages on social media, you’re going to find people get that personal touch from your business. You have to be able to trust someone to post on your behalf and keep the conversation going, too.

  4. It’s targeted! Social media channels are targeted and when you start out by giving your personal details here, you can ensure that your business shows up in the search engine results pages, which is what you want to happen! It’s a tailored way to be seen online and that’s what your business needs.

Of course, these are only five benefits of using social media, and there are so many others out there. The point is that without it, your business won't be as visible as with it. Don't hold back, social media could change your business entirely.
