Week 12A: Other Social Media Tools

For my business, there are several other social media options that would help gain more interest and clientele to my services. Google Plus allows you to talk and share with clients just as you would in real life. You can create circles, or specific networks of people, events, and host hangouts. I like the fact that you can join communities that is in an area of interest and keep current with social media trends. Yelp would be another type of social media that could greatly help my business because it allows past and future clients see my work and here from experience how my services match to my competition. It allows me to see how my business and services are perceived by customers. To gain more clients, I would use Groupon because it allows you to create a promotional coupon that attracts new customers to your services and many times they will upgrade their services or buy more product once they are at your location or receiving your services. Living Social, also would help with gaining new clientele and getting feedback on services. It is much like Groupon as it contains deals on various local businesses; however, Living Social takes it one step further by encouraging customers to write a review and say whether they are a new or returning customer. This information is shared with the business owner, which allows you to make a good assessment on whether your product or service is successful or not. These other types of social media are extremely helpful to maintaining and receiving business and determining whether your business is a success!
