We can all agree that social media is a great part of our lives, and the various platforms have revolutionized how corporations and businesses reach and interact with their audiences. Having a strong brand presence and consistent audience engagement on social media will (should!) help to generate leads and ultimately convert those leads into sales. Social media marketing isn’t a popularity contest, it really doesn’t matter how many followers you have – what really matters is the content you post and the engagement you receive from it.
The Art of Business believes in quality over quantity, and that our clients are going to come from the calls to action within our social media accounts – driving them to our website and turning them into leads from there. For us, our workhorse is our website, and email marketing campaigns… our social media efforts are a means to get people off of those platforms and over to something we have complete control of – remember when Facebook, Instagram and What’s App were down??? Things like this are exactly why we do not want to depend on social media for our marketing – we use it as a tool to move people along in our sales process, it is a small stop along the way to a discovery call with us.
Today, if you don’t have any social accounts for your business, you’re not doing it right. 90% of social media users have already connected with a brand or business through their chosen platform (Source: Smartinsights) – that’s huge! That’s where we can come in to help as a full-stack Calgary marketing agency. The Art of Business is the best digital marketing agency in Calgary, a modern partner for progressive brands that want to be noticed within their respective markets.

With our headquarters located in Calgary, Canada, and a remote team of marketing experts from around the globe, we don’t see ourselves as one-off service providers, we become an extension of your team helping clients with every aspect of their marketing allowing for owners to get back to doing the aspects of their business that they are most passionate about, most of the time it does not involve posting on social media – we get it, we are good at it, and we love doing it – let us take social media marketing off your hands.
Here at The Art of B, we have found that social media marketing needs to be interwoven with the many other marketing efforts, as we have mentioned before – it is not social media that is going to get you more business – it is a stepping stone to bigger and better things!
HOT TIP: Link the call to actions on your social media posts to your website, email campaigns, landing pages, or freebies – use your social media platform to redirect consumers to a place that you have control over (not having to worry about the ever-changing algorithms), at the same time, you can expand your reach further building on the know, like, trust factor with regular posting.
Juicy results come with consistency. Just having a social media account won’t cut it. The brightest brands out there continue to engage with their consumers, understand trends, and post interesting and valuable content.
