![]() Today the business world, especially ours, depends a lot on social media, but what is it exactly supposed to be doing for your company? Hello, Summerville! Hello, Readers! Welcome to the Creative Consulting blog. We hope you've been doing well, working hard to grow within your business and team, and have had your favorite caffeinated beverage close by the whole time! Anyone who uses social media for their business and who makes it a part of their media and sales strategy put a lot of pressure and responsibility on the shoulders of the apps that were once created by very young nobodies whose products were once called fads. Now the creators and their apps are household names, and a daily part of some of the most important and integral parts of many businesses, and they are the margin line for success for many content creators. However, these powerful apps are still just that. They're apps. They were created to bring people together and to keep them connected. Today, a lot of business and important decisions happen right at our fingertips. Companies can spend countless hours creating content and keeping up to date with all of the social media apps updates and algorithm changes. Hours can be spent tracking your followers, learning about them, and discovering your target audience. It truly is a full-time part of running your business. One of the greatest things about social media is the fact that it's free and so accessible to anyone and everyone. Somewhere in between the conception of social media and using it for business, something changed. Something shifted in these apps from their humble beginnings as social tools to becoming some of the key cornerstones in modern business. So many of us expect social media to be the end all be all to make our ideas, companies, and products go viral and to make us millions overnight. While we wish this was always true, that's not the case. Today, we are going to take a step back and talk about what social media is really supposed to do for your business, what your expectations should be. 2020 was a strange plane for all of us to cross and figure out. Everything changed, we all had to adjust, everything was difficult, and we all had to get used to it very quickly. When we all had to spend time away from our friends and loved ones to stay safe, we turned to our electronic devices and apps to keep us connected. This changed our relationship to social media, and this change has raised our expectations on both the consumer and producer side of things. As social media gets closer and closer to providing almost perfect instant gratification with rushed shipping, instant streaming, and a constant flow of information and news, our expectations of the social world are becoming even higher as the days go on. This puts pressure on every aspect of social media, those working behind it and creating it, and those depending on it to help create and maintain a successful business. This has caused a unique brand of pandemic fatigue on the entire social media industry. It had to do its own pandemic pivot, support its followers as they went through an unimaginable global epidemic, and once again switch gears as the world returns to life after a pandemic both online and off. Understanding Social Media
How To Help Your Social Media! Get Out Of It What You Want! Social media is a mouthpiece for all the hard work that you and your marketing team have done. It's a tool in your marketing toolbox. A mouthpiece doesn't work without brains behind it, and a hammer won't work without a nail. Social media is a three-part equation; you use it to learn about who you need to sell to, how best to sell to them, you create content based on everything you've learned, and to solve the equation, you post your findings. For extra credit, you need to interact in the social world yourself. What else can you do to optimize your social media so it works as it should?
You can no longer sleep on the idea of social media, and you can't place all of your expectations on it without doing any legwork yourself. Social media and all the apps it is connected to are tools of any successful trade. Make sure you're using it correctly, growing with it, and know exactly what to expect out of it and the work you need to do!
