The importance of social media has increased dramatically in recent years, becoming central to our daily lives. Social media has evolved to a massive platform for businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals and organizations that seek greater recognition, interaction and identification all in a simple and cost-effective manner.
Now more than ever, with people across the country practicing social distancing and self-isolating, the virtual world has become vital for people to connect with others, businesses included. If your business is not so “business as usual” at the moment why not reach out to your customers, staying connected with them through Social Media.
When using Social Media for business, remember that whatever consumers and clients see online is a reflection of your business, (which might be their first impression so make it a good one! It’s worth remembering that 37% of consumers make their buying decisions on social media.*) think about how you would treat your customer when they walk into your business, now think about you could achieve this online? A simple Fáilte or Go raibh maith agat could go a long way in changing the mind of the potential consumer and lead to them becoming a customer.
We might not realise it but Irish is ingrained into the psyche of the mind and when our consumers see Irish walking down the street or on their phone through social media, they will resonate emotionally to it which might just be the difference between them liking your post, entering your shop or choosing your product / service over another one.
