Social Media Marketing For Small Businesses: Best Practices & Techniques | Panel Discussion
Brand loyalty and customer satisfaction are the major factors to make any #business more powerful. And, both can be only attained through communication.
Today, #socialmedia is one of the result-oriented tools used for brand communication. When customers see your company posting on social media, especially replying to their queries and posting original content, it helps them build a positive image in their minds.
For many small #businessowners, keeping connected with customers on social media can feel overwhelming. Therefore, #Designhill conducted a panel discussion for fellow business owners on 8th June 2020 where our panelists from different industries shared #tips and #strategies on how to keep up with the ever-changing social media platforms.
This free session is a part of our "Fight & Grow" initiative, a virtual event series to help small businesses during this difficult time!
