In this report, I will be showcasing how businesses utilise social media and the benefits they can
gain from using social media.
How do businesses use social media to create a brand or image?
Businesses use social media to create a brand or image by promoting their business on
different social media platforms first. For instance, creating an Instagram account. They
fill out their profile and start to post their products with specific hashtags and they also
put their main logo on their display picture. The brand ‘Nike’ also puts up special offers
on their websites and also social media platforms. Due to this, it develops an audience
and encourages more customers to purchase from them... Having an appealing image
for your brand allows brand awareness to take place and more people visiting your
page. For example, Nike has different social media platforms they utilise to create a
brand or image. They use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram to show their
advertising to the world.

enquiry about it, they have the ability to send a DM to the owner asking a question about
the product. This allows great customer service for businesses and it is easier to reach
out to the owner without having to make a phone call or emailing.
