Which Social media channel is best for business promotion ?

Featured Replies

None of them.

 

If you want to promote your business you need to advertise. Google is a good place to start as are posters, leaflets, flyers and other media in pubs, clubs, restaurants, shops, newspapers and so on.

hy friends i am running minicabs and taxi business in london can you tell me which social media channel is best for promotion ,i will be thank full to you.

Whatever your customers use.

Whatever your customers use.

Indeed, but unless they are using it at the exact moment they want a taxi the chances of them seeing your promotion is slim.

The most famous social media platforms are Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube. But before deciding for a platform it is best to perform some research to know which platforms are mostly used by your targeted audience. After finding the right platform for your business, you need to create a marketing strategy. You need to be punctual in using the social media platforms that is why you need an accurate marketing plan.

I have to say you.Facebook , WhatsApp, and other social media like Instagram, twitter gives you better popularity.You have to give ads to google become popular, for that use proper meta tags and keywords and relevant and attractive information about your Business

You can start with Facebook, Google plus and twitter for promotion posting. then do video posting through you tube and image posting through pinterest.

Share news about your business and start to join groups related your business.

Hope it helps...

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram according to me. You will need some paid promotion at first, for this Facebook is the best medium. Since its a single city business, Facebook should be your target medium In my opinion.

It’s free, easy to get started and offers a massive network of potential customers. The hard part is increasing your followers without wasting your precious time. Make sure you focus on value over volume. Identify the social channels that reach your customers best – including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn. Email marketing is a great tool because most people need to be engaged multiple times before they buy. It’s been around for years and is still one of the strongest ways to engage potential and current customers. You have some tools that can help you get quality mail ids such as LeadLake and Mattermark.

What a load of guff posted in this thread.

 

When was the last time any of you used any social media channel to find and book a minicab?

 

I'd put money on nearly everyone using Google or Bing or some other search engine to look up the number of the local minicab company.

If you think it's about mini cabs you are wrong. Veronica (made up name) has just come by to copy paste some **** which has been pasted into blogs all over the internet for several years

It's non-mini-cab-specific ****. Quite why anyone would bother remains a mystery. Veronica? can you tell us?

Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Google AdWord best for business promotion

Hello,

There are many social media channels for your business promotions, but facebook is the best and the biggest social network on the web.

Twitter, instagram, snapchat, youtube are also the best for busienss promotions..

Hi,

You cannot afford to miss out on the massive opportunity social media can give you. The best tip for promoting your brand on social media is to make sure it's visual.

 

With Tweets, images get more engagement. Facebook photos get more engagement. Images on LinkedIn get more engagement. Three of the newest social networks—Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat, are based entirely on images! So get visual, you can't afford to be in the dark.

 

Hope this helps!

I feel that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Email Marketing are the best sources for business promotion. Instead of reaching out to buyers via the traditional methods, marketers must now focus their efforts on standing out in the crowd and leaving a lasting impression with buyers.

Most of the tools I have gone through for the B2B lead generation. These tools namely are, LeadLake and Builtwith.

If you want to promote your business you need to advertise. Google is the best place to start as are other Socail Networks like Linkdin, Tumblr, Reddit, Goolge plus, Stumbleupon.

Sorry but IMO all social networks are now so overrun with people doing social network marketing there's virtually no chance of getting your message to actual customers.

 

Google is the answer.

Nobody has to name the obvious facebook etc. if he did not know about facebook and the likes he will never get a client in his taxi...which is probably still steam powered.

 

Besides how to get people to your social ad is more important then having one, facebook whatsapp etc. are bloated and bad, who uses ads from facebook.

 

Make actual flyers..from paper at a printer and spread thousands locally.

 

Or just get a job at uber.

Hi, 

Social media is playing a major role in the promotion of a brand and quick conversion if we opt for paid promotion services. Using remarketing methods one website can earn targeted visitors and potential buyers for their product and services. 

I would say go for Google local listing ads, PPC ads and Facebook will surely help you in getting customers.

There are many social media channels available which you can use for your business promotion, considering which platform you are comfortable using for the same. And we must say that facebook will work best for you as it is used by the majority of people around.

It wouldn’t hurt to create a page on Facebook as it is free, but you may need to pay to advertise that page on some particular searches. You could create an account on Twitter and start posting, but how many people find a taxi using Twitter.


If you have a website, I really think the best bet is to pay for a Google advert so that you come up on local searches for taxis. I am sure a very large number of people would use Google to find a taxi in the local area.

Hey Alice, while running social media ads you need to understand what channels your users/customers use often. You have to create a buyer  persona this should include age, demographic, interests, salary range, etc then you target your customers effectively. This is exactly what we are doing at openborder as we are about to commence operations in air flight bookings
