What is Social Media?
The term, social media, generally refers to the social discussion of topics, rather than the professional reviews in trade magazines, that were the norm of the past. Anyone can write anything, it is a free world. Due to this, it is necessary to manage and control the various platforms where your property appears in a search on the site. Most of these platforms, including Google Business and Tripadvisor allow you to claim your business listed with them and it is necessary to do so to present the correct view of your property, as well as to deal with comments, both negative and positive. This is where these two platforms are included in the Social Media section, as they have open comments, as well as being platforms to sell rooms and food in your restaurants.
Facebook and Instagram
Others such as the ubiquitous Facebook, seem on the face of it, to be just solely social media platforms, however, the underlying business model is income generated from advertising. This is the most powerful marketing platform in the world for your business, you just need to understand it and take advantage of it. There are direct sales tools built into the Facebook platform that can drive business to you as well as manage the completion of the sale. Others such as Instagram and Twitter do not make sales, their function is to drive people to the place where you want them to come to make the sale. It is the generation of compelling content that drives all of this.
