Social Networking For Businesses - Is It Useful?
from:It is impossible to come across an office where any employee does not Facebook or tries to go through My Space while trying to work online. Though, it becomes an altogether different case if access to social networking sites is banned in the office. However, mixing work with pleasure is not a crime. In fact this trend seems to be on a rise in the recent past.
It is interesting to note that most of the business houses are trying to improve their profit rates and generate more clients simply by networking online. The business line has been a bit slow to catch on to the social networking wave. But the good news is that it finally has got a grip on it. And this grip only goes on to become stronger by the day.
Why network online?
There are a number of business oriented social networking sites which allow individuals to connect with each other, exchange business related information and build important contacts for their business. Till now, most of the business houses tried to connect with new clients via frequently used social networking sites.
But upon noticing the new trend, the latest buzz has it that especially dedicated sites to social networking for businesses will be introduced. In fact, several such sites are already launched and being used by business minded individuals. Some of them include LinkedIn, Plaxo and Visible Path. These sites allow individuals to have one-on-one interpersonal communications with one another without allowing the intimate online interaction which most of the regular social networking sites offer.
How do they help?
There are a number of social networking sites which influence lead generation, jobs and cracking of more profitable deals for the business. However, if a business is looking forward to engage their customers online and keep them coming back for more, the best bet would be to create a dedicated social networking site for businesses.
Sites, such as Edmunds.com are considered more appropriate if one wants to discuss the latest launched product in the market rather than discussing it on Facebook or My Space. This is the reason why dedicated social networking sites for businesses are considered more successful as compared to the other regular networking sites.
Being closer to the customer is better. A company or business house which is willing to dedicate part of its time and resources in order to connect with their existing and new customers online is bound to succeed one way or the other. More than half of the world is online today. Thus it is better to try and connect with business associates and clients online rather than spending thousands of dollars on advertisements and other promotional activities to showcase a business.
Social networking sites for businesses also allow the business house to provide a dedicated customer support and information center online. This can be accessed by the customers and the business house as soon as they log in and all they need to do then, is stay connected.
