Social Media gives you the opportunity to create a brand identity for your company. You'll no longer be talking at your customers but you'll be talking to each and every one of them. You might be 'THE' company that offer weekly giveaways or regular discounts or amazing annual sweepstakes. A great way to boost your customer service is to truly understand your industry, let your customers ask you questions so you can answer them confidently, respond to what they have to say. This proves to your customers that you care and helps build a bond and a relationship.

When your business is willing to share its knowledge and wants to help people it, can really show how great your employees are.

Social media has really blossomed into a truly interactive form of marketing. So it's up to you how your business interacts with its customers.
