Many business owners struggle trying to run a successful business while promoting that business. Like it or not, social media is becoming an increasingly valuable marketing tool and one that business owners would be foolish to ignore.
Some recent stats (according to BusinessDIT):
- 71% of small- to medium-sized businesses use social media to market themselves
- 52% percent of those who do so post at least once a day
-
63% of customers actually expect businesses to provide customer service through their social media
- 90% of social media users have already connected with a brand or business through their preferred platform.
So what are you waiting for? One of the many benefits of a Sustaining Chamber Membership is social media assistance. We promote our Sustaining Members across our social media platforms. These professionally designed posts can be utilized on your social media at no additional cost.
We also engage in reciprocal social media sharing. We monitor the pages of our Sustaining Members and frequently share their posts across our social media platforms. If there is something of importance a Sustaining Member wants us to promote, they can forward it to our Executive Director who will help to spread the word across our platforms.
This is a major membership benefit that only a few members take advantage of. If you are a Sustaining Member, make it a priority in 2023 to forward your social media posts to the Chamber for sharing on our network.
If you are thinking about an annual Sustaining Membership, the social media assistance alone makes it a great deal! Contact Executive Director Carla Olivo at SFCCExecDirector@gmail.com for details on upgrading to an annual Sustaining Membership and start making social media work for your business.
