Experiment with letting your customers help out each other. Many social media sites will allow you to put a user discussion forum on your social media page. Not only does this help build a community among your customers, it can help enhance your customer service. Customers may discuss different products with others and come to your sales representatives already knowing what they want.

Try using time-sensitive deals and coupons to generate buzz about your social media pages. This will create a sense of urgency and fans will be more inclined to pay attention to your social media profiles because they do not want to miss out on a deal. They will also be more likely to share the links to these types of deals with their friends.
