Remember, when someone takes the time to share their thoughts or preferences with you make sure you respond back. The best possible way is by asking another question based on their answer. Keep the conversation going as much as possible and the social media channels will deem your content important to your audience. Plus, you’ll get to know each other a little better. Since people buy from who they know, like, and trust, that’s always a good thing.
