Monitor and respond quickly

It’s always important to post consistently but it’s even more important to check your notifications on a daily basis to make sure you aren’t missing anything.

Having social media for your small business will make it a lot easier for your customers to get a hold of you and let you know how they feel about your products or services. Customers love sharing their questions, thoughts, concerns, and reviews on social media. When replying to all of your social media feedback, always respond using their name to make it more personable. Thank them for taking time out of their day to leave a nice comment.

A great way to respond is to ask them if they have tried your newest product or service or ask them to continue their relationship with your small business.

Stay positive

Negative feedback is also an opportunity for your small business to learn from and grow. Make the most out of a negative situation!
