Explain the different ways in which a business can use social media.
Introduction
Social media are collaborative virtual interactive technologies that allow production,
sharing, and exchange of information, ideas, and professional goals. About 4 billion users
use social media which is about half the population. There are many reasons why people are
attracted to social media and use it on a daily basis. It can allow businesses like e-commerce
companies or retail to get more customers and compete with other companies and also
increase sales. Most businesses can use social media to create an image or brand for their
products. With social media, each site has its own pros and cons. These social media sites
have to constantly add new facilities to attract new members and to keep existing accounts.
There many ways businesses can use social media.
An efficient way they can use social media is to do marketing. Marketing involve advertising
and promoting the buying or selling of a product. In addition, marketing can raise brand and
product awareness, establishes brand credibility and increase the customers trust. Every
business's target is to make money, and marketing is a critical channel for achieving that
target. Various different companies do use many social media platforms to promote their
product because it can increase their sales as the more people view the product, the more
people can make a purchase. Normally, companies use twitter and Instagram to advertise
products because it has the most users and also Facebook. These advertisements can
remind the audience about the brand and create more brand recognition.

make a living out of it. LinkedIn will help you establish a professional reputation, building an
effective network, and gain access to insider knowledge from approved experts. More than
30 million companies use LinkedIn Not only because it's the leading social network for hiring
and recruiting top talent.

shows Nike is promoting their Jobs so
more people can work for them.
The reason for businesses using Linked in is because they want to show they are willing to
invest into customers which can benefit them. The more people work for them, the more
sales they can achieve.
Another way businesses’s can use social media is to communicate with customers.
Companies can modify and develop their goods and services by listening to their customer’s
needs. When trying to figure out what the consumer really wants, clarity is crucial. Asking
key questions to obtain a deeper understanding of the customer's situation is a common
way to achieve clarification. This is what all businesses should do as communicating with
communicating with customers and understanding their situation is a vital way of success.

pollution and make a difference. They are making shoes out of plastic materials in the ocean
which can stop wildlife from getting intoxicated. This can hugely benefit their business
