The Benefits of Social Media Marketing for Nepalese Businesses

In today’s digital era, it’s no surprise that everyone is glued to their phones, scrolling through feeds and liking posts. Social media has transformed how businesses connect with their audiences, and in Nepal, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and even TikTok have become powerful tools to grow and thrive. Whether you’re a cozy café in Pokhara or a bustling local store in Kathmandu, social media marketing helps you reach your customers where they spend most of their time—on their screens.

Let’s dive into how embracing these platforms can skyrocket your business and how ABCD Group can help you make it happen.

Why Social Media Marketing Matters for Nepalese Businesses

Social media is no longer just a hub for selfies and dance challenges; it’s where people discover brands, build relationships, and make purchase decisions. For Nepalese businesses, social media marketing offers an opportunity to engage customers, spread brand awareness, and drive growth.

1. The Sheer Number of Users

In Nepal, social media usage is climbing fast. Here are some surprising figures:

• Instagram: In January 2024, there were 3,881,200 Instagram users in Nepal, accounting for 12.2% of the population. Men represented 56.8% of users, and the largest user group was people aged 18-24, with over 1.8 million users.

• Facebook: In February 2024, 15,698,400 people were active on Facebook in Nepal, making up nearly 49.5% of the population. Men comprised 56.6% of users, with 5.7 million in the 18-24 age group being the largest segment.

• TikTok: Although official TikTok data isn’t publicly available, AI-based calculations estimate around 2,207,318 people in Nepal use TikTok daily. These numbers highlight the massive engagement across different social platforms, especially among people aged 18-34, making social media an invaluable asset for business outreach.

These figures are clear proof that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are exactly where your business should be to reach potential customers.

2. Connect with Your Ideal Audience

The beauty of social media is its ability to target specific audiences. You can get as detailed as you want—target people by location, age, interests, and more. Imagine you’re running a trekking equipment store; you can easily target adventurers in the Himalayas or enthusiasts interested in mountain hiking. Social media advertising is like having a magic key to open the doors of opportunities with audiences that matter.

3. Build Strong Brand Presence

Social media is about creating memorable experiences. With platforms like Facebook and Instagram, businesses can create engaging content that showcases their personality—think stunning images, fun behind-the-scenes Reels, and interactive Stories. By staying consistent and active, your business becomes a familiar and trusted name in your customers' minds.

4. High Engagement Opportunities

Nepal has a highly engaged social media audience, especially among those aged 18 to 34 years. This age group loves interacting, sharing, and exploring, making it perfect for businesses to develop strong connections. Whether it’s sharing a funny video, running a poll, or responding to comments, social media offers opportunities to engage with customers in real-time, helping them feel valued and heard.

5. Cost-Effective Marketing

Social media marketing offers incredible value for businesses of all sizes. Traditional advertising can be expensive, but social platforms allow you to set budgets that fit your needs and goals. Whether you’re promoting a limited-time offer or building brand recognition, social media ads are a cost-effective way to reach thousands of potential customers at a relatively low cost.

Popular Platforms in Nepal: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok

When it comes to reaching customers in Nepal, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are leading the way. Here’s why:

• Facebook: The king of social media in Nepal, with over 15 million users. It’s perfect for sharing updates, creating groups, and directly interacting with your audience.

• Instagram: With nearly 3.9 million users, Instagram is a fantastic way to showcase your business visually. Whether it’s a visually appealing post or an exciting Reel, Instagram helps you stay on top of mind.

• TikTok: Nepalis love TikTok for its fun, short-form content. With over 2.2 million users daily, it’s an excellent platform to build brand visibility among young and creative audiences.
