As social media develops, so should your marketing campaign! You can use social media to connect with existing customers and attract new customers by discussing the procedures you offer that they are interested in.

Should You Have a Social Media Account?

Social media is a great way to connect with your clients in a casual environment. Many people think it is just the younger crowd on social media, but a demographic breakdown reveals the surprisingly high percentages of people with at least one social media profile:

• Ages 18-29: 84%
• Ages 30-49: 81%
• Ages 50-64: 73%
• Ages 65+: 45%

It may be true that millennials and Gen Z utilize social media the most, but the older population has become more tech-savvy in recent years, and everyone is using social media as a way to connect with others.
