Consumers have certain expectations of brands on social media, but brands in general aren’t living up to those expectations.
Of course, there are companies who already get it, but brands in general just aren’t harnessing the real potential of social media—at least, not in the ways that help to build deep customer relationships.
What if there were people who loved to say great things about you, all of the time, in numerous different places… the kind of “raving fans” who continually share positive stories and give useful advice about why people should go to you for business? Wouldn’t that be fantastic?
This infographic was produced by BzzAgent, who found that “brand advocates are 83% more likely to share information about a product than typical web users, and 50% more likely to influence a purchase.”
Are you approachable? Do you introduce people to each other? Do you ask really good questions that start conversations? Do you keep your promises? Do you send out birthday cards to your customers and suppliers?
Making and maintaining connections via social networks is not that different than doing so in person. Using online social networks is still “real life.”
