Social Media Marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few years ago, the power and influence of social media were somehow debatable. Today, social\u00a0media has almost become part of our daily lives. Steadily, it has become a very powerful gateway for\u00a0marketers to connect with millions of new clients.<\/p>\n

In the US, research has shown that almost 50% of SMEs use social media to primarily market\u00a0themselves. Apart from connecting with millions of clients, social media marketing doesn’t cost a\u00a0fortune. Keep reading as we take you through some great social media marketing tips<\/a> you can adopt.<\/p>\n

1. Set your goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Social media activities require careful planning to be successful. First and foremost, don\u2019t only look at\u00a0the likes and the re-tweets but also focus on the conversion rates, website referrals and of course the\u00a0generated leads. Also, your goals should be relevant, attainable, measurable, specific and timely.\u00a0Your goal should basically be about \u201cwhy\u201d and you should decide on the \u201cwho\u201d.<\/p>\n

2. Conduct a social media audit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is where the \u201cwho\u201d comes in. Start by identifying who is already connected to you on social\u00a0media, what is their preferred network and how your presence will compare to other social media\u00a0competitors. The results are very important in assessing the targeted social media landscape.<\/p>\n

3. Identify your platform<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Always know that different social media platforms have different objectives and audiences. Therefore,\u00a0approach each platform with a unique strategy. For example, keep a friendly and light tone on\u00a0Facebook<\/a> because it\u2019s a place for friends to relax and chat. When trying to market to other\u00a0companies, LinkedIn could perform better.<\/p>\n

4. Identify your target group<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Conducting proper research on your audience\u2019s characteristics is a very important factor in attracting\u00a0their attention. For instance, you could start by identifying their age, gender, average income, and\u00a0residence. This demographic data could be collected from social media, surveys or focus groups.<\/p>\n

5. Focus on visuals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You could use pictures, GIFs, graphics and videos regardless of which platform you\u2019re on. Most\u00a0marketing executives like using visual content because of its engagement effect. Just ensure that it\u2019s\u00a0relevant to your audience and the post.<\/p>\n

6. Consider using social media management tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several social media management tools that could help you effectively manage several\u00a0accounts. Managing several social media accounts can be time consuming and overwhelming.\u00a0Consider tools such as Hootsuite, Buffer, Social Booster and many more to always stay ahead of\u00a0schedule.<\/p>\n

7. Employ a qualified social media manager\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Employing a social media manager has proven to be very successful in improving social media\u00a0marketing<\/a>. A great social media manager should be a strategic thinker who understands the short and\u00a0the long term goals of your company. Also, they need to possess organization skills, good in grammar<\/a>\u00a0and spelling, and effectively observe and control their calendars.<\/p>\n

8. Engage the audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In this digital era, some personal conversations take place on social media. Quick response to\u00a0questions will make your target feel like they are part of your business. Always respond to most social\u00a0media posts within 24 hours, according to a study in 2016. Also, take this as a golden opportunity for\u00a0you to connect with your target groups.<\/p>\n

9. Leverage current events<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Always stay current by keeping track on trending news on different social media platforms such\u00a0as trending hashtags on Twitter This strategy could help you expand your following by taking part in\u00a0bigger conversations.<\/p>\n

10. Adapt successful strategies from competitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

A little detective work on other social media brand competitors isn’t harmful, is it? Getting inspiration\u00a0from some of their successful tactics can turn out to be your golden breakthrough.<\/p>\n

To sum it up, successful social media marketing<\/a> can drive sales, solidify branding and create quality leads. These 10 great social media marketing tips can effectively help you achieve your social media<\/a>\u00a0success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
