What Is Social Media? 

Social media is based on the idea of a virtual network. It allows people to connect with others and engage, share, and consume their content.

How Can Courier Franchisees Benefit From Using Social Media?

Social Media can be a powerful tool when acquiring new customers, but it takes plenty of work to take off first. If you just start a social media channel, it can take years till you see quotable leads coming through social media.

However, if you do, it can be a low-cost way to give your existing customers a place to refer back to and find out more about you and your services, as well as a place for new customers to discover you.

Social media is not just for gaining new customers. It also helps with keeping existing ones. 

When using social media for your franchise, ensure they are distinguishable from the franchisor's social media page. You do that by showing more behind-the-scenes content and pictures of you, your customers and your services.

Social media is driven by personality, so with a strong personality and a plan, social media can be your go-to marketing tool. 

Social Media Tips For Courier Delivery Franchises

Being Athentic

Being authentic is one of the most important things to keep in mind when being on social media. While you want to seem professional, you can still have fun or a personal twist to your story.

Instead of using a stock image as a background for a testimonial, use a picture from the actual customer, for example.

This raises the trust, gives a behind-the-scenes look, and also boosts your customer's business. If they benefit from your advertisement, so do you.

Networking

Connecting with people and businesses should be the main reason you enter social media. You strengthen your connections and visibility by tagging people to your images and reacting to and sharing their posts.

Another great way to connect is through groups. LinkedIn and Facebook groups, for example, allow you to get right into the middle of your target group and help small businesses with your services.

Personal- vs. Businessprofile

Choose a personal profile over a business profile. People connect to people, not to businesses. Therefore, you have better chances of expanding your network when being on social media yourself.

You also have more functionality that you don't have with a business account. Entering groups and simply reacting and commenting on posts is only easily possible with a personal LinkedIn or Facebook account.

If you want to see results and actively grow your franchise, act on social media as you.
