The level of engagement that is possible with audiences can be a fulltime position, but let’s start with the essentials since many of us don’t have someone working fulltime who is solely focused on social media.  To engage with your audiences means reaching out to the communities of friends and followers you’ve generated in various ways.  This can be done by mentioning and promoting top customers as a way of portraying your level of appreciation for their services.  You can additionally engage with your audiences and build followers by inserting your voice into conversations that your company is interested in.  This action places your company’s voice into a new community and can generate prospects; something that is always ideal.
