Advertise in store with posters and QR codes and if you have a website make sure you have links to your social channels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encourage customers to \u201cCheck-in\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0to you business\u2019s shop with Four Sqaure app or via Facebook Places. Once again, use posters to prompt users to &#8220;Check-In&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incentivise customers<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>to do so by offering<\/strong> a\u00a0discount with purchase, for example &#8220;spend \u00a3100 and get \u00a310 off when you check-in\u201d. Something for free; \u201cenjoy a free chocolate fudge cake if you buy a starter and main course\u201d. Special treatment; &#8220;check-in on Foursquare for private access to our VIP area\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reward your best customers\u00a0<\/strong>with special offers such as; \u201con your fifth check-in receive a free gift\u2019. This is much like a digital version of a stamp-card you see in places like Cafe Nero, Waterstones and Nandos.<img title=\"More...\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curve-interactive.com\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1176\" title=\"Local Social Media Strategy\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Local-Social-Media-Strategy.bmp\" alt=\"Local Social Media Strategy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This starter\u00a0<strong>social media strategy<\/strong>\u00a0will generate buzz within the local area and draw attention to you brand. Buzz will be created fundamentally by customers \u201cChecking-in\u201d to your business. Customers doing so in essence will be leaving a free advert for your business on their Facebook timeline (See images below).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Local_social_media_strategy_Facebook_Foursquare.bmp\" alt=\"local\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Every time someone\u00a0<strong>\u201cchecks-in\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0to your business, the message posted on Facebook has the potential to reach each of that customer\u2019s friends (on average 150 people). Giving a customer a special deal in exchange for an advert? Why not?<\/p>\n<p>It is a fact of human nature, proved in psychological studies, that if your friend does something you will be more likely to do it too. It\u2019s called peer pressure, or social proofing if you like. So get the ball rolling at start getting your customers to <strong>&#8220;check in&#8221;<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;like&#8221;<\/strong> your social networking pages.<\/p>\n<p>The most trusted source of marketing is word of mouth. Nielsen\u2019s Global Trust in Advertising study (April 2012) found that 92% of us trust messages from our friends and family about brands against 47% of us trusting direct messages from companies.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Social-Media-Strategy.png\" alt=\"social\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Facebook\u2019s (2012) own research concludes that if a friend <strong>\u201clikes\u201d<\/strong> a brand on Facebook there is a 65% chance of that individuals close friend\u2019s liking it too! That is quite an\u00a0astonishing\u00a0fact, and something that should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>By getting your customers to \u201clike\u201d your business\u2019 Facebook or Foursquare page you are opening up the possibility of more and more people finding out about your company and what it does, thus building brand awareness.<\/p>\n<p>This coupled with offering incentives for people to actually come in to your shop and buy things will see a direct increase in sales. This is a very cheap and effective means of advertising that is targeted at your current customers and their similar friends.<\/p>\n<h3>Incorporating Twitter<\/h3>\n<p>Many people have never heard of Search.Twitter.com and that to me is a great shame. This advanced search tool allows you to search for people talking about your brand quickly and easily. It gives you the opportunity to see what your customers are saying about you. It gives you the opportunity to interact with these people and start a relationship with them. By being so direct with customers you will enhance your customer service, understand in real-time how to improve your business and build emotional equity with people through relationship building.<\/p>\n<p>Search.Twitter is also useful to see what&#8217;s going on locally in your area. The functionality of the search tool allows you to search for Tweets via city, town or postcode. If you are a local merchant think how useful this could be&#8230; Little Johny Smith tweets &#8220;I&#8217;m soooo hungry, I&#8217;ve been walking through ABC Park all day and I&#8217;m ravished!&#8221;. You, as a local bakery see this tweet by searching for &#8220;hungry&#8221; people in the local vicinity and hey presto you have a potential lead. You can now directly engage with this person and perhaps offer him a little incentive to come and buy from you. Cheap marketing if I&#8217;ve ever seen it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This is just one example of how using social media can be used to drive sales and increase brand awareness. There are numerous other strategies that can help a business build from this solid social media platform and we will outline these in furhter blog posts!
