Learning about your customers is just one of the valuable pieces of information you’ll take away from Shama’s team at the Techstars Startup Week Detroit, powered by Chase for Business. In Detroit, Zen Media will be leading social media consultations at the Chase for Business BizMobile – a 27-foot trailer business center providing free advice from Tuesday, June 19 to Thursday, June 21. On board, small business owners can learn about effective social media strategies, how to get their message above the noise, and ways to connect with their customers. In addition to providing social media advice, Shama and her Zen Media team helped conceptualize the BizMobile idea with Chase and the interior and exterior design.

We had a chance to catch up with Shama before the BizMobile tour to nab some quick pieces of advice to help boost your business presence via social.

Where Are Your Customers?

Remember, posts going viral is a rare occurrence in the social media world. So make sure to use social media as part of your strategy, not the only tool for success.

Start by building out an editorial road map and use reliable analytics to track what’s working or not.
