What is brand equity?
By definition, brand equity is the value of a brand, determined by the consumer’s perception of the brand. In other words, it’s how much customers are willing to pay for a product or service because of the positive associations they have with the brand.
There are many factors that go into building brand equity, but social media is one of the most important. Why? Because social media allows you to humanize your brand, connect with customers on a personal level, and create customer loyalty.
So, how exactly does social media marketing help to build brand equity? Let’s take a look at some of the ways social media platforms can help:
Facebook:
Facebook is the perfect platform to humanize your brand. By creating a social media profile, you’re able to show customers that there are real people behind your brand.
