Why Small Business Need Social Media
Social Media and Your Internet Business
internet marketing continues to be the biggest challenge for most local businesses, many of whom are working with very small budgets and almost no marketing resources. A survey undertaken by Mercantile showed that more than half of local businesses where spending less than £1000 a year on marketing, and 60 percent had no plans to raise their budgets this year.
These business owners who are time limited and have little cash for marketing, are gravitating toward simple, low-cost online marketing methods such as Facebook, Twitter and other social media, as well as toward tried-and-true methods such as search and email marketing to blend a solution that suits their business constraints.
Social media marketing is one of the marketing methods that seem to work best for small business because it offers internet business owners simplicity, low costs and immediate results. With its huge consumer up take, ease-of-use and low barrier to entry, Social media such as Facebook continues to be a popular way for internet business owners to market their business, with 70 percent using the social network for marketing, up from 50 percent one year ago.
