Nearly three-quarters of American adults use social media—making it a critical part of any business strategy.

Indeed, social media is one of the best ways to connect with people who already love your brand. It’s also important for reaching those who haven’t heard of your business yet.

Using social media to promote your small business is more than just maintaining a regular posting schedule and inviting people to like your posts—although you should do both!
