The TRUE benefits of Social Media Marketing
Why should my business use Social Media Marketing as a tool to grow my business?
That’s a great question, and hopefully I can answer it with this true-life testimonial of a small business owner in Marietta, Georgia. It may seem far-fetched to you, but I can assure you…. this all happened, and so can Sabina – the owner of this Authentic African Restaurant!
Motherland Kitchen & Spices (and catering, too), just like any other small business owner, wondered “how can social media possibly grow my business?” Hmmmmm…… where should I start with answering this question?
Let’s start with their Facebook page. In just 1 week, and YES that isn’t a typo. After 1 week of launching their Facebook page, here’s a summary of what happened as a result of Social Media:
1. This small town African Restaurant received an order for their world famous MommyDoro™ African spices. The order came from Afar! Or that’s what most small business owners would think… because Social Media seems so far-fetched, and so “that’s not for me” to a small business owner. The order actually came from Maryland!
2. On Friday, an order came in for a $150 take out order. Goat Stew!
3. And now for the best one! On Friday, an order came in (yes, from their Social Media presence aka Facebook), a 300 person catering job came in!
I’m not educated from the Harvard School of Business Mathematics Department (as Glenn Beck would say), but to me it sounds like an incredibly wise business decision to launch your Social Media Marketing campaign today!
