The Science of Social Media

How Local Businesses Can Crush It On Social (And Keep Customers Coming Back... Without Spending a Dime)


Listen Later

As of July 2020, more than half of all the people on Earth use social media.

With so much of the world’s population using social channels — and more joining for the first time each day — social media offers incredible opportunities to connect with your customers, no matter your business size.

And in this episode, we’re going to focus in on exactly how local businesses can get most out of social media. We'll discuss why social media is important for local businesses, share examples of local brands doing great things online, and discuss some ways businesses can build their audience and connect their online and offline customer experiences. 

Here are a few useful links from the show:

  • WAX Watergate Bay on Facebook
  • Callie's Hot Little Biscuit case study
  • I hope you enjoy the episode! And if you do, we'd really appreciate a review and five stars on Apple Podcasts (or wherever you listen to the show). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
