Engage with followers and provide customer service. Don't miss this opportunity to listen to what they're saying to and about you, and to provide the best customer service.

Responding to customer questions and resolving issues over social media shows everyone who's following you -- and potentially anyone who is online -- that your company cares about its customers

Crowd source ideas. Asking Customer for their opinionsUse social media as a marketing research tool.

Say, for instance, you're getting ready to launch a new product. You can ask your fans and followers what they think about specific details like what types of features they want. When they see their ideas become a reality, ideally you create brand and product champions.

Keep an eye on the competition.Remember the old saying: Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. 

Establish yourself as an industry expert. Then let your customers know..Nobody can know what you know unless you share your knowledge. By sharing information like tips, advice and answering questions about your industry, you can position yourself as a valuable resource.

Develop a content-sharing strategy where you respond to questions daily, provide unsolicited tips and share your perspective on industry news

Thank You
