Social media is a powerful tool for businesses. It allows companies to build their brand, generate sales leads, manage their reputation, get real-time consumer feedback, and improve customer service. Dell, car companies, and local plumbers have all successfully used social media for business purposes. Monitoring social media conversations allows companies to understand what customers are thinking and discussing in real time. As social media becomes more integrated into people's lives, it will continue to transform marketing and business communications by making recommendations and conversations more public and transparent. Businesses must learn to engage in quiet conversations by creating shareable content and lighting up online discussions gradually through baby steps.
