Small Businesses Go Social provides social media marketing advice and assistance to small businesses as an integral, but important component of a customized marketing plan.

Our services aim at empowering you to boost sales by increasing your effectiveness in activities such as getting referrals, reaching and enticing your target customers’ influencers to help you market your brand, conducting highly effective, but low cost customer research, and involving your customers to help you develop better and new products and service. We will also enable you to compete with larger companies at a level not possible through traditional marketing approaches.

We will help you to build and maintain strong and quality relationships with customers faster and more cost-effectively by focusing your marketing efforts on establishing conversation, offering value and securing trust.

Our principal approach is to assist you, based on your business’s specific needs, in planning and implementing social media marketing tactics through channels, such as blogs, social networks like Facebook, podcasts and video sharing sites like YouTube to:

  • reach out and connect to customers and their potential influencers where they gather, converse and create media
  • attract customers’ attention in their way and in their language, and engage them through what is important to them.
  • enable and encourage your customers and their social influencers to talk about and refer your brand, and build a community of interested people around your business
  • gain customers’ trust by listening, being helpful, offering value and demonstrating your authenticity and expertise.
  • get customers involved in what you are offering, allowing and encouraging them to contribute to the design, development and marketing of your products and services.
  • discover new business models, new ways to generate revenue and figure out what to sell and what to give away for free.

We are focused on assisting small business owners who do not have the required time or the expertise to effectively leverage the ever increasing and changing social media channels.
