It will create brand awareness for your business and you will get instant exposure from social media. But simply having an account on social media platforms cannot help you to establish your business. You need to update your social media accounts on a regular basis and you should interact with people through your social media pages.
  • Without social marketing, you cannot get new customers. You can interact with your existing customers over the phone and send some promotional SMS to increase your sales. But, in this way you will only play within your known circle and you will lose a huge percentage of unknown potential customers. With the help of social marketing, you will receive more inbound traffic. You can even integrate your social media pages with your website and people can easily find your products on your social media pages and click on your images to purchase the same from your website. But, you should not restrict yourself within one social media platform because some people prefer to search their requirements on different other social media platforms also. So you need to create your profile on every social media platform and you must create your posts with the right keywords. 
  • Search engine optimization or SEO is very important for your online business and you need to maintain some SEO rules to place your website at the top results of search engines. Social media marketing can help you to improve your search engine ranking. If you are not able to place your website on the top of search engine results then you can create some posts with relevant keywords on your social media pages. It will help you to increase your website traffic and your website will rank on the top of search engine results. You can even talk to some social media influencers in this regard and they can promote your brand on their pages. They have a huge audience on their social media pages and they can create some posts with your website link. 
  • It is true that you can increase the visibility of your website by creating a regular blog post and you can promote your brand with some impressive blogs. But people do not have much time to read and they will not stay on your blog for hours. You will find only a few comments on your blogs and you also cannot interact with those people directly from your blog page. In this case, you can use such blog posts on your social media and link them with your social media pages. People can read your blog by clicking on your page and you can interact with them to know about their feedback. In this way, social marketing can increase the conversion rate of your business.  

So, these were some of the major pointers that clearly indicate the importance of social marketing in enhancing the revenue of businesses and building brand awareness among the existing and potential audience.
