How Social Networks Help to Develop a Business
A common mistake of an online business owner is to think that social networks are just for fun and have nothing to offer for a serious business. Maybe this point of view was right once upon a time (in the early `90, for instance). Now social networks are the main sources of targeted traffic and real customers for your business.
So, there is a crucial need to present your business in social networks, if you want to compete in the modern marketing world. Creating your branded pages, gaining fans, their attention and trust — these are only the first steps, not the final goal. After those steps you need to somehow convert your social networks` fans to your customers and advocates of the brand (in a perfect scenario, of course). This is where Flow-Flow Social Stream comes to the play.
Flow-Flow gives you unlimited opportunities to stream social media content within your website. It means, you can create your either testimonials` wall, or product gallery, or news and reviews feed, or events schedule, or all of that combined and flavored by your unique ideas. And it works for more than 13 social networks with a wide variety of feed types — absolutely amazing and mind blowing!
Let us now show you some examples of social streams working for the sake of your business online. These are only the most obvious examples but they are verified to work smoothly and effectively for the most types of online shops. The examples involve 3 of the most popular social networks: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Facebook Social Streams
Facebook is the place where most people look for true testimonials on a product or service. It means you have a perfect opportunity to gather users` feedback for your business development and users` testimonials for your business promotion.
Flow-Flow not only allows you to gather Facebook users` comments but also to premoderate them to get rid of the bad ones. We are sure you do not want to show bad reviews as your advertisement inside the social stream. That is why Flow-Flow provides you with both automatic and manual moderation tools. These tools ensure you will bring only the good testimonials for your social wall that serves as the additional promotional tool for your service or product.
You can also gather testimonials and reviews not only from your branded Facebook page but from any open community inside the social network. And again, moderation tools will allow you to to separate seeds from chaff and set up your perfect branded social wall.
Instagram Social Streams
Instagram appears to be the most fast-developing social network nowadays. Instagram is often seen as the entertainment network for the most part of users. This feature only makes Instagram more attractive for business owners because it means people there are open to your messages even if the advertise something.
There are two of the most popular ways to build your effective social wall based on Instagram: public account and hashtag sources. It is worth mentioning that you can use any public account within Flow-Flow Social Stream, not only your branded one. The moderation options will secure that you put only the desirable content inside your Instagram social wall.
With Flow-Flow you can gather all the mentions of your brand around Instagram by means of hashtags. This content can include testimonials, reviews or just photos of users with your products or while using your service. All these Instagram posts will work for the sake of your brand awareness and new customers` engagement.
Twitter Social Streams
Twitter is another perfect source of testimonials and reviews on your products or services. Twitter users are encouraged to write their opinion on any matter or subject, that is way product reviews can be found here very often. The most interesting Twitter feeds are hashtag and like feeds.
Twitter hashtags will allow you to gather information from all around the social network, just like in Instagram. But here you can get both media and text content generated by users (while Instagram provides you mostly with photo content). Twitter like feeds provides even more opportunities: you can enter the name of your account and transfer all Twitter posts you mark with likes to your social stream automatically.
