The candidates are using social media to their advantage. Are you doing the same with your business?

Hey Holli,

I've been following the US elections myself and must write some blog posts about it too. I loved the simplicity of the article.

I would also like to add to your article that yes, every business should be on SM but also that they should have a consistent communication strategy for using them.

They are a fantastic way for engaging with fans but they do need to be managed. My particular interest is the communication and how clearly and consistent it is with the candidates and their peoples. It's conflicting.

A small business should know what they want to achieve and how they are going to communicate with their new audience.

Great to have you on board the bizsugar community.

Take care,

Denise

Politicians are great examples of social media experts. They use social media to connect with the masses and get on their good side.

Hi Holli,

Thanks so much for sharing this post with the BizSugar community. The political campaigns are indeed a great example of branding in social media and something every small business owner large and small should be watching. The channels available to get a message out are changing rapidly and with them, the structure of the messages themselves. Learning this new vocabulary is critical for modern marketers.
