Social Media
Marketing

People’s use of social media has also changed! It was originally designed as a way for friends and family to communicate and socialize online, but it has evolved into much more. Yes, in today’s world, the primary use is still interacting with friends and family, but it’s also an opportunity for brands and consumers or leads to connect. Consider the following recent statistics. 71% of consumers who had a positive social media experience with a brand were likely to recommend it to others, and 21% of consumers are more likely to buy from brands they can reach on social media.

So, if you’re new to social media, as a business owner, you should understand that at its core, social media is a place for people to connect with friends, family, and brands alike. And, as it continues to grow at an exponential rate, you’ll want to capitalize on it for your business. Social media marketing services can help with this.

That all sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? So, where do you even begin? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest are some of the social media platforms you can use to accomplish this.

The important thing to understand is that social media marketing is divided into two parts: organic social media management (which you will read about on this page), and paid social media advertising services (which you can read about by clicking here). The best way to proceed with your social media marketing plan is to first determine your business and marketing goals, as well as what you hope to gain from social media marketing. So, let’s go over that in more detail below.

Social media marketing allows you to place strategic social media content and/or social ads in front of them where they already scroll and spend their time. This provides your company with valuable, extensive, and targeted exposure.

When you effectively use social media marketing, you increase your reach, qualified website traffic, and conversions. What exactly are conversions? Conversions can be a completed sale, a completed lead form, or any other action you deem valuable on your site. Conversions are typically the end goal action you want to receive from your social media efforts.

This is why it is critical to first determine your goals so that you can plan your social media marketing strategy to meet those goals!

As you can see, social media marketing is only one component of a larger digital marketing strategy. That is why, in addition to the other services listed above, we are a full-service agency that offers social media marketing. This is due to the fact that you want your social media efforts to complement and be supported by your other digital marketing efforts.

That’s where social media marketing, or SMM promotion, comes in. By establishing a strong social media presence for your brand, you can increase brand awareness and establish brand trust. But, how important is social media for your company? Let’s take a look at these numbers. Is Having A Presence On Social Media Platforms Important For Your Business?

Because each social media platform is unique, it attracts different types of people. For example, male and female Facebook users are fairly evenly split, whereas females prefer Pinterest. So, first, you’ll want to figure out who your ideal customer is, and then you can compare the features of various social media platforms to see which one will benefit you the most. Which of these represents the majority of your target audience? Once you’ve decided which social media platforms to use, you can use the additional
targeting options provided by each platform. You can target users based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and other factors. This will help to ensure that your social media content is up to date.This will help ensure that your social media content is reaching the intended audience.

How did you come across this information? There are a couple of options. Begin by simply looking at your competitors’ social media pages. What exactly are they posting? Do they receive a lot of engagement on their posts and/or have a large number of followers? There’s a feature on Facebook where you can literally click to see what Facebook ads they’re running. Overall, you should perform a social media audit on your competitors.

Take note of what they’re doing and make a mental note of it (either as something to try or something to avoid!). Then, assuming you share a target market, examine how people are reacting to their content. Do they leave a lot of comments or have a lot of reviews?

And, in both cases, is the overall effect positive or negative? When it comes to your customers, Facebook has a feature called Facebook Audience Insights that can give you some ideas of what your target audience appears to be interested in on Facebook based on their app behavior patterns.

Aside from that, think about what motivates your target audience’s purchasing decisions. What problem or goal are they attempting to solve or achieve by ordering your product or using your service? Understanding your customers should be at the heart of all marketing content you create.

Be aware of how people use the platform and tailor your content to their preferences. Here’s an illustration. Twitter may not be the best platform for a longform video because tweets are limited to 280 characters and people are used to consuming short bursts of content there. When people go to YouTube, they are prepared to consume longer-form content.

So, now that you’ve gathered all of your information about your competitors, target audience, and social media platforms, let’s move on to the next step.

Remember that the goal of social media marketing is to capture the attention of targeted, qualified, and relevant followers in order to move them to the top of your sales funnel. As a result, your social media content should be less sales-focused and more customer-centric. Provide informative, helpful content that positions you as a thought leader in your industry while also providing value to potential customers.

Another advantage of planning out your social media content is that it allows you to think about your messaging ahead of time. Determine your brand’s tone and how you want to interact with your followers.

Also, if you’re in charge of multiple social media accounts for your company, make sure everything looks consistent. Someone should be able to easily find you on any social media platform by typing in your company name. One good way to ensure this is to change your handle so that it is consistent across all platforms. Your handle is your @username, which is distinct from your “name” on social media platforms. To make your business accessible and convenient for users, ensure that they are all the same.

The final tip for optimizing your social media accounts is a relatively new feature. Social media platforms are gradually introducing their own native “SEO” processes. This means that when a user types specific words into the platform’s search bar, your account may appear in the search results even if the user did not search for a hashtag or location tag.

When optimizing your bio, especially on Instagram, include “keywords,” or words that people are likely to search for in relation to your business. For example, if you own a deli, include the words “deli” and “restaurant” in your bio because these are keywords that people will likely search for if they want to find a deli in their area.

Do you have the time to devote to an organic approach, or do you require instant website traffic?

Do you want to reach out to a larger audience than what organic social media can provide?

Do you already have a customer list, an email subscriber list, or other historical data to work with?

Are you willing to spend at least $20 per day on advertising?

The answers to these questions will help you decide whether you need to invest in social media advertising, social media management, or both!
