Focus on social networks
Having a neat content goes with being active on social networks. Indeed, these days it is rare not to have an active presence on social networks. But be aware to use social networking to your advantage. It is not about creating and sharing information with simple, cheap ways but know how to differentiate and interact the most with its customers. Social networks are not a place to promote but rather show that we are listening to the customer.
Take the example of Airbnb. Airbnb is a global community of guests from around the world offering travelers a place to stay in a friendly atmosphere and a unique experience.
Airbnb soon became popular with over 25 million visitors, reservations are made almost every 2 seconds on the site. Its popularity comes from word of mouth of many passionate travelers. Airbnb has managed to bring a discussion to an online world. With personal and touching experiences that each shared, Airbnb has managed to humanize and win the trust of all. On the accounts of social networks Airbnb, travelers can share their time, experiences, tips for everyone which really added value for future clients.

In addition, social networks can serve as customer service. By providing a quick response to the client shows the involvement of the brand and a satisfied customer is likely to return and also recommend the brand to his relatives.
Regardless of the size of the company, listen to customers must be instantly. For example, Nike has a very good customer service. The brand is guaranteed to be as active as possible on social networks to respond quickly to the needs of its customers.
Customization and interaction
Brands must learn to customize the shopping experience for each customer. It is about keeping in touch with the client without invading his personal space.
With new technology and the use of many social networks, it is now easy to find personal information of anyone online. When speaking of personal data, people can be very reluctant so companies must find the right balance for playing on personal identity but without going too far.
The brand must show that it pays attention to every customer, every interaction it has with a customer or potential customer must be useful for the future. The brand must be sure to target the individual needs to sell more.
A company can create a profile of customers by collecting information from past clients, asking clients to subscribe to the newsletter, doing promotions … By creating profiles, it can better target its customers and thus offer them personalized offers, encouraging them to continue their shopping experience, loyalty by sending them news on products of interest to clients. For example, when you buy a product at Sephora, a few months later you can receive an email from them reminding you that your cream is almost finished and it’s time to renew!
It’s very important to show customers that they are not anonymous but different consumers and valued individuals.
