What is social media management and how can it help businesses? Social Media enables people to advocate for your business through compelling content. Through social media channels such as a blog, Facebook, Twitter and other outlets, businesses can listen to what people are saying and then being able to respond which gives businesses a tremendous amount of credibility and loyalty with customers. Social media management helps businesses grow their traffic by distributing content, growing links to a company’s website, manage a business’s reputation and branding, acquire email addresses and increase their fan base just to name a few. Social media creates opportunities for lead generation and ultimately grows a company’s revenue.
