Picking the best social media platforms for your business will benefit you as a business owner, as well as benefiting your customers, we suggest the following:

  1. Go to where your audience is. Don’t set up a Snapchat account if you’re trying to target 50-year-old professionals and executives.
  2. Only pick two or three social media platforms and do them really well. There’s no use in spreading yourself thin across multiple platforms and failing to reach your audience on each one.
  3. Check out which platforms your competitors are using to get an extra idea of what content goes where and how your target audience is being reached.

There are a lot of social media platforms out there. A lot. With so many options, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or feel like there’s a better platform out there. So let’s break down our recommended social media platforms for small business marketing.
