How to create successful Social Media Marketing strategy

 

 One of the key factors in making social media marketing better is a strategy. If there is no strategy, you are posting on social media platforms for the benefit of posting. It’s hard to get results on social media without knowing what your goals are, who your target audience is, and what they want.

If you want to grow your brand through social media or bring it forward as a social media marketer you need to develop a social media marketing strategy.

Let’s look at the best way to create a winning social strategy.

It is interesting to note that there are many crossovers in social media marketing strategy and social media marketing plan.

You can think of it this way: there is a strategy where you are going. There is a plan for how you get there.

An easy way to build your social media marketing strategy is to ask questions yourself what you want

1. Why do you want to be on social media? -

Firstly, question to answer is the Why?

This relays to your social media goals. Are you on social media to promote your products or business? To bring traffic to your website?

Below are the some goals you can have-

Increase brand awareness

Drive traffic to your website

Generate new leads and sales

Grow your brand’s audience

Boost brand engagement.

Increases brand loyalty

Any combination of these goals is an effective and can help you better understand which network to deal with. If in doubt, keep your social media marketing strategy simple, instead of mixing multiple targets that could distract you. Choose one or two and stick them.

2. Focus on who is your target audience?

Once you have determined why, your next thing is your target audience.

Understanding your target audience will make it easier to answer the following questions about what, where, and when to share. If a fashion brand knows that its target audience likes to know about fashion tips, it can share such content on its social Media profile.

For targeting audience and sharing content you have to consider following steps:

1. Who they are? (Target according to demographic Ex. age, gender)

2. Their interest (in that what you can provide?)

2. Usually which platform they use the most

3. Which type of content they love to see (ex. read social media posts or watch videos, etc.)

You probably don't need to start from scratch. If your business has been running for a while, you already have a good sense for your target audience. Write down what's useful so you can share it with the team or use it for your future reference.

3. Decide what type of content you want to share

Of course, to be successful on social media you will need excellent content to share that means high quality content. Sharing too much advertising content is one of the biggest mistakes a business can make. Remember, social networks are designed to be socialized - your products were not intended to be a marketplace for sales.

That’s why you need to balance social sharing content with a few percent advertising content to mix information sharing and interesting items. You also need to like and share other people's content.

This is probably the most important reason why most influencers get that position. They know their audience well and create the right content for the desires of their followers. You need to do the same, as a brand.

4. be realistic about what you can create

When creating content you need to understand limitations you may encounter. For example, you might want to run a great YouTube channel, but if you don't have the tools, people, knowledge, and time to create high-quality videos, it's useless to get on that track. You don't want a YouTube channel in town with one or two poorly featured videos.

You need to balance your target audience with the content you like the most, with which you feel most equipped and most comfortable.

5. Consider Paid Promotion to Boost Your Audiences

Many social networks allow you to purchase certain types of paid advertising. Most will enable you to demographically target your ads, only those that are visible to your preferred target audience.

Paid ads allow you to reach an affiliate audience that you are not currently connecting with. You can use ads to enhance brand recognition, promote specific posts / videos, or sell products.

6. Track your Results and Adopt -

Of course, no matter how much you plan your efforts, there is no assurance that things will work out as you expect. You will never know the success of your social campaign if you do not keep track of the results.

You start the process by setting goals and then determining your most relevant metrics. Therefore, we need to constantly monitor how this metric is progressing. Is this metric having the desired effect on your social campaign?

Many social networks are provided with their own analytics tools that will provide the required amount of data. For example, you will find the Insights section for your Facebook page and the analytics section on Twitter and YouTube.

Usethese tools to track your results. If they are showing that you’re creating popular, good shared content, create more of that kind. If your content isn’t performing well either, take note of what works to focus on what kind of content your followers prefer, and optimize your social sharing.
