A staggering 45% of people use at least one social media platform, so it is no wonder people are investing in to social media management in Plymouth businesses and across the nationwide. That is nearly every other person you pass in the street. Whatever industry you’re in, your business is going to be impacted by social media whether it is for recommendations, reviews or general information about your business. There are two ‘go-to’ search platforms that the majority of people will use to find a business; Google and Facebook, however just signing up to any platform in the hope it is the right one to suit your business may leave you wasting time, and possibly money, advertising to people who you’re unlikely to convert to customers.
So where do you start?
First, you need to understand what social media platforms are out there from the mega-famous like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, to medium-sized platforms like Pinterest and Google+, to the up and coming, rapidly growing platforms like Snapchat and LinkedIn. Deciding which platforms to use depends on your business and who your customers are.
If your customers are other businesses and professional’s, then LinkedIn is a great B2B platform. LinkedIn can (and in our opinion should be) used for most professional services, like posting job vacancies, networking and collaborating.

Facebook is the most used social media platform in the UK with 61-67% of adults using the site at least monthly.
Instagram is a perfect platform to use if you have visually appealing products or services. Instagram was specifically designed for visual appease, so when you’re using Instagram, make sure your images or graphics are fantastic quality.
