The Volunteer Sales Force has teamed up with one of Ireland’s leading social media companies ‘Go Create Marketing’ to offer our FaceIT service for businesses.
We work with small and medium businesses to help them grow using Social Media by maintaining relationships with their current customers, finding new customers, reducing advertising costs and taking advantage of the viral aspect of Social Media and the power of referral marketing.
Here is why your business needs to be on Social Media:
- Facebook has over 2 million Irish users, almost 30m UK users and 750m users worldwide ( August, 2011) and this number is constantly growing
- Your business needs to be where your customers are
- Only 14% of consumers trust advertising, but 78% trust peer recommendations – and that’s what Social Media is – online referral marketing
- Connect and maintain relationships with your existing customers through social media marketing – this can help with up selling and let current customers know about other services or products you provide
- Listen to your customers, ask them questions, get answers, improve your services and product range
- Stay on the top of your followers minds
- Get new potential customers to connect with your business and get constant updates from you through social media advertising
- Reduce your costs on traditional media advertising
- Advertise your vouchers, sales, discounts, special offers in a low cost way
- Create high Page Rank links to your website (for SEO) – this will help your website appear higher in the search results in Google
- Use the viral aspect of social media to your business benefit
While most small and medium businesses know that they need to be on Facebook, many have neither the time, inclination nor the know-how to set up their page, manage it and make it work for their business. Social Media might be free, but it’s very time consuming and can be really frustrating for those who are just getting started. That’s where the FaceIT service comes in. We will work with business owners and managers to develop a successful social media and online marketing strategy to fit their specific needs and budget and take advantage of the huge opportunity Facebook can offer their business.
