Customer engagement is the basis of all marketing activities. Be it offline or online, marketers aimed at reaching out to their target audience with their every marketing effort. In today's era of stiff competition, it has become very essential for marketers to enhance customer collaboration. Any opportunity miss can provide major setback to an organization's marketing efforts. However, sometimes it becomes very difficult for an organization, especially small, to tap every collaboration opportunity. And there are several reasons associated with it. Let's not talk about them at this moment. Today, the focus is all on social media to increase customer collaboration. Here's the way to do it.

1) Real-time engagement: The biggest advantage of social media is to ability to engage in real-time. This real-time engagement paves the way for enhanced customer interaction, even for small marketers. Through increased customer participation, marketers can really come up with improved branding and product strategies.

2) Reach: With platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, modern marketers can really have enhanced customer base irrespective of geographical boundaries. And this becomes very important for improved customer collaboration. This extended customer reach allows marketers to get exposed to wider clientele-base with limited resources and financial capabilities.

3) Effective customer management: Getting new customers, and managing old customers are critical factors of any successful marketing strategy. No company can really afford to lose old customers for getting new customer base. Therefore, there has to be a balance between these two critical factors. And social media can do it. It allows marketers to address concerns, issues, and queries of both old and new customers with same intensity and speed. This balancing act really paves the way for efficient and effective customer collaboration for marketers.

Listen carefully what customer has to say about your company, your product and the competition, and use social platforms to offer quick and efficient feedback to them. Social media marketing is all about communications marketing. How you communicate with your target audience decides your fate on the social media platforms. Be quick and efficient in answering your customer queries, and make them believe that 'You are listening to them.'
