The benefits of social media

Social media allows your business to reach people and interact with people who are interested in what you do as a business, on a regular basis. You can tweet a link to your site on Twitter and it will be seen by all your followers, and potentially by all of their followers if they retweet your tweet. A status update or a post on Facebook will be seen by all of your followers, and if they like your status update or post then that will be seen by all of their followers.

The sheer numbers using social media means that there is the potential for your message to be seen by thousands of people very easily. Facebook is the second most used website on the planet after Google and Twitter is one of the top ten most used sites.

People also expect you to be on social media now. With social media being so well used, people are using Facebook like a new search engine. They will search for a business on Facebook and use it to contact them, and look at what other people have been saying about them.


Using social media properly can take time, but if used properly can bring huge rewards. DBS Internet Marketing can set up and manage your social media for you. If you’re not using social media, we strongly recommend that you consider it.
