Though you have created Customer Services department to handle the issue regarding your product, according to researchers, a very few people do share their problems via Email and phones. They find it annoying to spend their time after spending a whopping amount of money. But, via Facebook, it seems like commenting on their friend’s timeline.

People wanted to be easily helped via brand; they can communicate with your through Social media easily. And it will be a genuine and real issue to handle, which would be mentioned on Social media on your business page.

 Disadvantages of Social Media Marketing for Business:

So discussing Advantages of Social Media Marketing for Business, Here are some Disadvantages of Social Media Marketing for Business:

There is another side of social media and social media marketing, you should read this at least once, and then it is upon you, what you are going to do after reading this. If one people are sharing your post, for making your image better, the other one also can share the false story regarding your business product. And you know the human psychology when we just hear a bad word; it takes our memory and saves for rest of the life.

  • Negative Comments:

The two faces of one coin, comment, it can convert people to your loyal fan or hater. If a person does not like your product, or somehow, he was feeling something else, other than what you delivered, he will put all upon you. The person will start commenting bad things about your product.

And as the other person got the capability to read all the negative and positive comments, they will understand this as the right aspect of the story. As people are going to put money on your product when they found one bad comment it momentarily changes their mind.

 There is another side of the story, your competitors might hire some people on social media, and their task is all about to write bad about your product. This is also known one of the best ways to defeat in the battle, there is nothing like character and honesty found in the marketing. So, Negative Feedback can spoil your entire product in a second, but as a whole, I have seen this, if your product is nice enough, averagely, it will get the positive feedback plus negative with some black sheep.
  • A Little Mistake:

A very little mistake can lead you and your business at the dead end. If you just posted something, you are a human and mistakes can be done by you, but the mistakes of the big products are unforgivable. Like happened with the Pizza Company last year, they just posted something, not as much deep as people started to make this, and that Pizza company has to apply to the people, and it will be a real embarrassment for a company and business product.

People are always there to react, on the social media, the news travels like never before, and there are greater chances of you to be caught if you really have done a little mistake.

  • Quick Response:

People really want a quick response on Social media, sometimes people needed a small answer regarding your brand or buying your product. If you did response after two days later or three days, they might forget why did he/she approach to a specific product? If you got a team of few members, you would not be able to do the task as efficiently and as successfully as your competitors are doing

  • Budget:

That is the most important and pivotal factor in social media marketing, according to a survey, Facebook earns more when your post got lower engagement. In this way, you will be eager to run ads via Facebook, and Facebook will earn a whopping amount. The meaning and importance of the social media are very evident, even your competitors have known the importance of the medium. If you got a very low budget, you really cannot survive on social media. You have to put a lot of money to compete, to make your product a brand on social media.

I have repeated this lines few times in this post as well, the real king is your product. If you got the product, which is really helping people or got worth for the people, you will start earning huge amount of money, this Social Media Marketing for Business can add Icing on the cake for you.
