Dear ,
You need a social media strategy - don’t let anyone tell you any different. And we’re not talking about posting a cute cat video once a week on Facebook with the hope that your customers think you’re as adorable as said cat. You need to figure out where your target audience (you do know who that is, right?) is hanging out on the internet - is it Twitter, Facebook, Tinder, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram, or some other online nook you’re not yet aware of ?
Be Socialize Your Products To Reach More Audience
Without getting too deep here, the internet, like the universe, is constantly expanding. There are new tools, new sites, new platforms, new rules, and new galaxies being discovered all the time.
How To Determine The Social Media Strategy Step by Step:
Step 1: Everybody’s a Somebody When it Comes to Social Media.
Social media and its effects impacts all areas of your company - sales/marketing, production, customer service, legal, etc. That’s why no one person should be crowned king of social media in your company. To be really effective you need to be more representative - create a team from the various departments of your company to maximize their experience and perspective on your social media strategy. This will also make sure everyone knows what’s going on when it comes to your online activity.
Step 2: There’s a Time Listen
And that time is now. Being a good listener is an invaluable tool and never more so than in social media. You can learn a lot by listening to what your customers are saying - not just about your brand but about your competitors, and other things they value or are turned off by. And speaking of competitors, it’s also important to listen to what messages they’re pumping out and where they’re turning up.
Step 3: Stay Focused
You can’t be all things to all people nor can you accomplish all your goals in one campaign. You’ll be far more effective if you choose one goal, maybe two, TOPS, for your social media strategy. Do that, do it well. Then move on to slay the next dragon.
Step 4: Are We There Yet?
To figure out how successful we’ve been with our social media strategy, we need to define what success really means to your business. Is it more sales? Is it sign-ups? Downloads? Likes? How will you measure return on investment?
Step 5: Know The Customer
We need to know who your target audience is if we’re going to find them online. It’s crucial to understand their demographic, their wants, needs, challenges, and interests. Then we can craft a message they’re going to hear loud and clear in a place where they want to hear it.
Step 6: People first
Social media is just that, social. That means people interacting with other people, so to be successful you need to be sure your company is acting like a person, not a corporate entity. It’s important to start thinking about how you can express the human elements of your brand even if you’re in the B2B market because believe it or not, they’re people too.
Step 7: Create a Channel Plan
Once we understand your audience and your message, we need to create a tactical plan for how, where and when we’re going to reach out to on social media, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, etc.
