5 reasons why social media is important to your business

People’s behavior, their purchasing habits, and the way they consume information is increasingly influenced by social media. Businesses who leverage social media properly can reach a broad demographic and convert first time buyers into brand evangelists. As of 2020, three billion people use social media, that’s 50% of the world’s population. This percentage is probably much higher for the audience you’re trying to reach.

Your competitors are already leveraging social media to their advantage. Even if you’re using it too, social media should play a bigger role in your marketing strategy.

Here’s why:
