Social Media and Young People

By Adam  |  16 Jul 2015 19:00:00

I've spoken many times about the importance of using social media in order to promote your eCommerce website. Everybody is on social media and they'll expect your business to be there too. If you're still not convinced about the popularity of social media, a recent study shows that social media has started to become more popular than alcohol amongst young people. Classically, alcohol has always been very popular with young people, so that should say something about social media!

So what are you waiting for? Get on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or whatever else and make your business an account! They’re all completely free and so, so long as you conduct yourself properly, you won’t have anything to lose! Depending on what service you use, you'll be able to do the following: keep in touch with old customers, reach new customers, have customers advertise your work for you, attract people new and old alike with social media promotions and much more! Its value cannot be overstated.

It's especially valuable for people who have (or who will soon have) eCommerce websites, such as yourself, because, unlike shops that exist within a physical space in the world who will attract people who just happen to walk past, an eCommerce website could lie unknown in a forgotten corner of the internet with nobody ever 'walking past'. So social marketing could be key to the success of your eCommerce website, especially if teenagers and young people are your target audience (in light of the study). At Sellr, we know that this is very important and that's why we give you the tools to spearhead your own social media marketing campaign!
