Social Media Guide

Whether you personally use social media or not, there is no denying that UK consumers love it. With millions of consumers logging on to the internet and using social media every month, it’s no surprise that businesses have flocked to services like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Many small to mid-sized businesses see social media as the playground of the big brands such as ASOS, John Lewis and Marks and Spencer. But social media is all about conversation and engagement, so if anything it’s more important for SMEs.

In our recent survey many business partners asked for more information on social media. Requests ranged from a simple user guide to measurement and tracking; so we set out to produce a basic ‘how to’ guide to enable our partners to make the most of the key social media sites. What we are not aiming to do here is produce a definitive guide to social media – how one business uses social media will be totally different to another. But we do hope that this mini guide will answer lots of questions you asked.
