Developing a Strong Social Media Strategy





Developing a strong social media marketing strategy will help boost brand awareness, increase follower-ship, drive traffic to your website and generate leads for your sales funnel. In 2017, no brand should be without a plan that actively places their business on social media.
Here are few simple tips to help you formulate your social strategy in order to build a stronger presence.

·     BE SOCIAL:  Don't simply share your content and hope people will interact with your business. Be social - it is, after all, called 'social' media. Comment, like and share your follower’s content. When fans respond to your content, highlight them in the comments. You could     also message customers and prospects personally to show appreciation for their support.
·   TEST YOUR RESULTS: When executing your strategy, you need to test your efforts to ensure what you’re doing is actually working, and resonates with your audience. Leveraging a social media management tool like Hoot suite or Buffer will give you access to analytics tools which enable you to get a better understanding of the shares and content which are generating the most engagement - along with those that are not.
This is invaluable information, as you’ll be able to determine which content to focus on and provide your audience with more of what they want.
·  SHARE ENGAGING CONTENT: Sharing valuable content is at the heart of any working inbound marketing strategy - by offering helpful advice, tips, and expertise, you work to position your brand as a leader in your field, which will then attract prospects to your business.
This same concept applies to your social media marketing strategy - the goal is not to solely promote your products but to share value so your followers view your brand as a credible, valuable source that they can turn to for assistance.

·  BE CLEAR ON YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE: Knowing and understanding your target audience is the prerequisite to a working digital marketing strategy. It’s important to know who you’re aiming to reach in your marketing so you can focus your efforts on engaging and connecting with that audience.

·     KNOW YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA GOALS: Every post that you publish and share on your social networks must have a goal, an intent.
Do you want to drive traffic to your website? Are you looking to boost engagement (i.e. Likes, shares, and comments)? Or do you want to build your leads list?
Having a clear goal in mind for each post helps you tailor your content in a way that focuses on meeting it.




Implementing these simple tips will help guide your social media strategy in the right direction, and move your further towards your goal of building brand awareness, gaining followers, boosting engagement, and ultimately, growing your leads.
