There are companies that offer monthly rates assumable for a small business with different levels of service. Another option is to free a person from your company of his time or hire someone to manage it.

That, in principle, can be a risk for the company’s reputation, well managed customer care through this channel is an opportunity to increase the prestige of your company.
Increase customers confidence
Social networks allow you to be next to your customers and they know you. A close and transparent company creates confidence. And trust is the reason why customers can choose your company instead of your competition.
