Empower your business with the support of your employees
Every company is shifting from traditional marketing to digital marketing.
In today’s world having a digital presence is an utmost priority for every company irrespective of whom they cater to (BtoB or BtoC).
Why digital?
Marketing digitally helps you filter your audience, reach out to them exactly when they need or require your product and services and also understand what your end customers think about your product and if there is any scope of improvement because you get authentic feedback which is also called as user generated content if used wisely.
Apart from the digital presence of the company and the brand image, Employees are the face of your organization.
People/audience are more likely to trust what your employees speak about the company than what you put online.
It is said that approximately 7% of your sales can increase because of employee advocacy and engagement.
An employee talking about a new product launch or achieving a milestone or success to his friends will gain attraction and add-on to the marketing of your product or achievement. This happens when your employee is content with his / her job and prefers to become an employee advocate.
However, the reach of such instance is quite minimal but if your employee posts it on LinkedIn or Facebook or also tweet about it on Twitter, imagine the amount of reach your employee will attain?
Better than what you as a company would post, right?
Now imagine if each of your employees did speak positively about your brand on digital/social media what would be the amount of reach, you as a company can attain?
Immense right?
That is why we say – Employee Advocacy and Employee Engagement can work wonders for the company when we talk about increasing sales, building the trust of your consumers and also the brand image.
Employee loyalty begins with employer loyalty. Your employees should know that if they do the job they were hired to do with a reasonable amount of competence and efficiency, you will support them.
-Harvey Mackay
However, this can totally backfire if your employee is not well-versed in the digital space or social media and the available tools.
Investing in the skill upgradations of your employees when it comes to being digital will eventually bring in a lot of Return On Investment (ROI) for your company itself.
Employees can be a lot more than just people working in your company. They can be an asset worth investing in because the return on this investment is far more.
