How to market your business on social media.
You’re all set up on all the major social platforms, but you’re not seeing any growth. It’s a tale as old as…well, as old as social media. Don’t worry! It’s not that social media is a waste of time; you just need a hand marketing your business. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Make a plan.
You didn’t start your business without a plan (well…hopefully not), so why would you market your business on social media without making a plan first? You shouldn’t! Having a clear course of action defines your goals, keeps your business on course, and ensures everything remains within budget. It becomes the guiding light informing everything you do on social media, making decisions much easier.
Know the market.
All industries are different. The space you’re operating in has unique audiences, competitors, and expectations. Before you can succeed at marketing on social media, you have to develop a deep understanding of these market dynamics. You probably have a good idea of how your business functions, but you’ll need to supplement that with learning about the ins and outs of how the market operates, especially on social media.
Maintain brand consistency.
A comprehensive social media strategy takes place across multiple platforms. The unifying component that pulls everything together is your brand. You need to make sure your logo, colors, slogans, phrasing, and other crucial branding factors are consistent across all social media profiles to boost brand awareness. The more people recognize your business, the greater the trust becomes.
Add value.
People are most likely to respond positively to your business when they receive value from it. This can come in the form of information, news, and even entertainment. No matter what it is, your audience needs to see your business as a source of value on social media before they decide to continue engaging with your brand. This will eventually lead to increased loyalty which drives conversions.
Track the results.
An indispensable component of any social media marketing strategy is metrics. This is how you determine whether your current strategy is working and what tweaks need to be made to increase success. You choose your metrics based on the goals you set when making your social media marketing plan. For example, if your goal was to increase site traffic, you should be monitoring how many visitors come from social media.
