MORBiZ, a hyper-local Internet marketing company, has released a new blog to help small business owners take advantage of free tools on social media.

Hyper-local web presence experts at MORBiZ have released a new blog about the free perks often missed by small businesses. The blog, which reminds readers that not creating a profile for your company on Facebook, Instagram and other social media channels is akin to denying free billboards, covers a myriad of reasons why a small business should not delay signing up for free online profiles any longer.

A few of the main points that the new blog touches on are social media's ability to indicate a desire to grow and its ability to act as a virtual display case. Social media channels are the perfect place to show off both goods and services, the blog explains. Furthermore, shopping cart features on some social channels can help you sell items directly to consumers.

While selling products is great, if your business relies on appointments, social media has you covered there too.With Facebook's free appointment scheduling widget, customers can now book services automatically. You'll soon find your day is filled up open to close!

The blog goes on to detail benefits of social media that don't have direct monetary advantages on the surface, but offer bottom line benefits in the long term. This includes building thought leadership and community around your brand.
