2 Seven steps to a social media strategy plan 1: Determine Your Business Objectives for Social Media
Make your goals concrete, measurable and achievable if possible. Here are some objectives: Get people to recognize your name and associate it with the product you are selling, by doing this you will build your brand. Promote your product on social media and try to attract people to those websites by telling it to friends and relatives. Support your sales by explaining to people how to use the product and by answering any doubt they have. Try to engage your fans by giving them a reason to speak about your product and tell other people to buy from you.
By setting objectives, it will be easier for you to define your social media metrics and make more effective social media marketing for you
Understand your target markets point of view and activities. Think in anything that can help you understand their tastes. Consider the people around the buyer, most of the times buying is not made only by one person, its influenced by other people. Know where your potential customers engages on social media. Not everyone is on Facebook. Consider your audiences social media behaviour. Does your market lurk, share or create social media content? What incentives will make them act? The more you know about your audience, the easier it will be to engage with them on social media and get the results youre looking for.
Branding is shorthand that helps customers to recognize your company without thinking, which means people can recognize your company by an image or a slogan. After youve claimed your space, remember to incorporate elements of your brand into your profile. Also post your store location, phone number and local hours. Remember to include a link to your website. A strong social presence will help you get the most out of your social media marketing.
Incorporate a social media call to action. Dont just assume prospects will take the next action without prompting. Guide them to engage and interact with contextually relevant calls to action.
Track indicators that help show that youve accomplished your objectives. For most businesses, this means more than comments and social media shares.
The bottom line is that your small business can successfully use social media to achieve your business objectives. To this end, plan ahead to ensure that your time spent on social media reinforces your other businesses messaging and engagement and yields measureable results.
