In this blog, we provide a list of the advantages social media can offer your firm. Your firm can use social media marketing to build brand recognition and connect with potential customers. Here are a few tips from Shelli Tench that can help guide your firm's social media efforts.
With most Americans being active on social media, establishing an online presence in the right places will allow you and your colleagues to connect with a larger audience.
You can also create a community using social media as well as connect with active users who need your services. By establishing a solid online presence, you will be able to build an emotional connection with potential clients through your posts and engagement through digital platforms.
1. Setting Goals
It’s important to strategize about your content and how you will use it to connect with your audience and promote your firm. Create goals on what sort of media you would like to post and potentially advertise.
2. Staying Up to Date with FTC Regulations
