Advertise Through Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites have created a world where people and businesses can connect and keep in touch with one another on a personal level. Almost everyone has at least one type of social networking account and uses it to keep track of their friends, family, classmates, coworkers, or other interests. Social networking sites also create a great way for companies to stay connected with their clients and their community. Customers typically like to do business with companies that are on a personal level with them and listen to their feedback and opinions. Therefore, connecting with your customers through social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter help you keep in touch with your customers.

People generally keep tabs of their social networking sites on a daily basis, place updates, posts, and so forth for followers and friends to see. Companies advertising through social networks in essence do the same thing. By sharing information about public events, party tips, suggestions, discounts, promotions, new products, etc., you keep the customer informed and up to date about what’s going on with your company. Since the majority of sales for moonwalk rental companies come from repeat customers, this is a great way to keep them updated and informed, thus increasing the likelihood of retaining them as customers. So how do you get started?

First and foremost you would need to create an account at these sites. It is suggested you use your company name and create business profiles where allowed instead of personal pages. After creating a profile, you will then need to get connected with your customers. The fastest way to go about this is to send a mass email to your customers notifying them about your new networking sites and how to join. Some people might instantly add your company and get connected while others might disregard the email either because they are not interested or they don't use those services. A great way to motivate your customers to add your sites is to offer them an incentive like a discount on their next jumper rentals.

Now you have your list, but how do you grow it? To grow your list it is highly advised to post links to your social networking sites on all of your websites pages. You can also add the links to your email signature and any letters or faxes sent out. The more avenues you use to notify people of your networking sites the more people you will have joining or adding you to keep in touch.

So you have your list and people are joining, now how do you use it to promote your business? There are plenty of ways to promote your party rental business through social networking sites. Generally you should open up discussions with your customers to get them involved and participate in the networking sites. Any information regarding discounts, promotions, public events, new products, testimonials, videos, photos, should be shared with customers to keep them updated with all facets of your company. Since people keep track of their networking sites on a daily basis, notifying them of such things will keep them instantly updated with your company.

What are the costs? None, social networking sites are free. The only cost is time. Time to login and update your site with information. The fabric of our society is molded together through media news and social sites that streamline information to people. Keeping an updated and informative social networking campaign will greatly improve your customer's information regarding your company and services and help drive sales and increase revenue on any promotions and deals.
