Certainly, social media has at times been seen as a tool to increase customer loyalty and increase repeat investments through customer retention. But there are clear examples of when social media is used to develop brand awareness through viral content or paid advertising on Facebook, for example.
Not seeing the possibility of social media as a sales tool or to reach new audiences overlooks three key features;
As people’s relationship with social media has evolved, we’re increasingly seeing brands use social media to leverage the power of influencers and achieve or amplify PR coverage.
