Attention all Nurseries: Social Media Is The New Word Of Mouth!

Join in with the conversation!       0a74c2e
Your customers are chatting about you on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. So capture their “energy” and turn it to your advantage.
Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. We use Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Blogspot, and many other social networking services to converse with friends and colleagues and to share family photos, videos, and important moments in our lives, so why think its any different with your business!
The biggest roadblock to social media is its defining principle: Openness.
Our traditional business culture, where information is shared only when absolutely necessary and only among key people, doesn’t align with a culture that gives away knowledge for free and where interactions are open for everyone to see and hear. Evenmore, it can be disruptive, to say the least, when interactions once considered confidential are made public.
Engage with your audience
Engaging your customers in social media not only allows for a more intimate relationship with them but also converts their enthusiasm into support for your services.

Social media is not difficult; it is all about the conversation

Some nurseries just don’t think that social media is important and some even believe that social media will actually harm their reputation, but the internet is becoming more and more important for marketing your nursery and social media is the new “word of mouth”. Sure, negative posts and comments can be damaging, if dealt with badly.

One common misconception is that not “being on Twitter or Facebook” will prevent them, unfortunately it will not,  it will only stop you from responding in a professional and positive manner.

So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain
