Social Media Marketing (SMM) is a great opportunity to communicate with your clients in an informal way.

You can show them your new goods, give a discount, share useful tips with them and just tell about your business or company.

In other words, social media is the best place to be closer to your audience (and get even more insights, of course).

Ok, communicating is fine but how can it impact on your profit? Significantly, the number of social media users worldwide in 2018 is 3.196 billion, up 13 percent year-on-year! For you and your business, that means that a huge part of your target audience (people who want to buy your product or order your service) can be found here, on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter. So, with the help of social media accounts, you can get high-quality traffic and increase sales several times over.

Weak sides

Finally, let’s look at the disadvantages of each promotional method. Of course, SMM managers and the Rabbit have weaknesses.

An SMM manager, as we said, is a human. He or she can make a mistake, be late or forget something. In addition, results of the SMM manager’s work depends on his/her competence and knowledge. Instead of bringing increased traffic and sales, wrong actions can harm your business. Also, you should oversee the work of the SMM specialist, learn from their suggestions and offer your ideas.
