Social media is a sensible way for us to

converse with clients, partners, vendors,

prospects and friends. The various channels

give us the ability to engage with people

and promote our business at scale.

Social media channels can be used as

customer service forums, to promote events

and contests, offer coupons and giveaway

deals and much more.

Before you dive in, think about what you want to achieve with your marketing goals. As you evaluate your goals, pull together a list of challenges and

opportunities you hope to address with your efforts. Start with the audience you want to address and think about how that community currently

perceives your business. What are the beliefs and attitudes they have toward your business? How do their attitudes need to change so you can be

successful?

Set Clear Goals

“Do the right things to be effective. Be

efficient by doing those things right.”

“Listening is a critical part of the

conversation.” Listen to what people are saying and seek to understand them and their beliefs. Craft your

story in response to listening and use messaging to convey understanding.

Tell Your Story What do you want your audience to understand about you? Use social media to share things that will build that understanding over time. Layer your story with snackable bites so your audience has time to digest your message at a comfortable pace. Avoid saturated content heartburn.

With so many social media channels

available it can be overwhelming to

try and manage multiple outlets of

communication. Each platform

offers unique benefits based on

what outcome you are trying to

achieve.

Evaluate your brand and determine

the type of content that makes the

most sense for you to publish. Is

your business best represented by

videos, pictures, written stories or

fast facts? Do you use coupons in

your promotions? Ask yourself what

works for your market.

Start with consistently posting to 3

channels and then scale your

marketing from that benchmark.

Trends and changes are the most valuable insight that can be pulled from any report. Analytics should be measured through a single tool for a universal view of

the health of your content. Once you select the tool that works best for you, get familiar with it and set up a few standard reports that will allow you to push a

button to see a snapshot of your work and how it’s performing online.

Metrics That Matter

“It’s the true experience of the journey that people gravitate toward.”
