Mobile Apps for Social Media Marketing Apps
Mobile Media Marketing - Mobile Apps to get more interest
With smart phones proliferating and new tablet devices like the iPad gaining in popularity, it’s not surprising that next year will mark an increased focus on mobile social networking by small businesses, according to SaleSpider. The survey found that 53 percent of respondents are using or plan to use social networking sites from their mobile devices via a mobile app. In addition to using a mobile app to access social networks, small business owners are expected to increase their usage of mobile apps that help run their business whether it’s an app to manage contracts or an app to input sales data on the go.
Social networking will be a main focus for small businesses in 2011, but it doesn’t mean that more education isn’t needed. People know how to use a social network, but Rothstein said they may not know how to use it effectively to boost their business. He said small business owners should avoid engaging in social networks from a personal perspective and keep the profile and pictures professional. At the end of the day, Rothstein said, small business owners just have to take the leap.
“Engage. Everyone is jumping into it, so you might as well jump into it,” said Rothstein.
