For Startups: 6 Influencers To Follow On Snapchat

What is the most difficult thing to do in business?

Start a business

There you are, doors are about to open for your Grand Opening and you think to yourself “Yes, I did it, we are open for business”, all the while you are thinking “How do I let customers know I am here?” 

Times have changed… even in the past year. 

Starting out, you probably don't have much of a marketing budget but need to get your word out.  The best way to do that on a limited budget is Social Media. 

Social Media has become a pivotal part of starting and growing your business.  2016 was dubbed the “Year of Engagement” and rightly so.  Across the board companies are interacting with fans and customers on a personal level.

Why the personal attention?  It makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside and apart of the brand. 

What is the first thing that happens when someone gets retweeted, mentioned or commented back by the company?  THEY TELL THEIR FRIENDS.  Now that company has instantly connected to not just the consumer but future consumers (if the interaction was a positive experience)

Now mix that personal engagement with what has steadily gaining momentum on the web… Video, better yet Live Video.

What is better than Video Personal Engagement by a celebrity/brand?  Other than standing beside that Celebrity/Brand and have them mention your name, I really don't know.
