What Is Social Media Marketing?

Social media marketing leverages social media platforms to connect with your audience to build your brand, increase sales, and drive website traffic. A successful approach consists of publishing relevant content, engaging your followers, monitoring your performance, and running ads.

Your customers are already interacting with several brands through social media. If you’re not speaking directly to your audience through social platforms, you’re missing opportunities to build trust in your brand.

A few tips for creating your social media marketing campaign:

  • Know your goals
    Before you begin any social media marketing campaign, you must lay out your business goals. What do you want to gain from social media? Perhaps you want to increase your followers, promote a new product, or increase your revenue. Your goals will define the time and energy you will need to spend on your campaigns.
  • Research your audience
    Different platforms attract different crowds. Once you understand your audience, you can determine the social platforms to reach them best. From there, you can analyze performance using a social media dashboard. The dashboard will display your total followers, their interactions, and where you see the most activity.
  • Create engaging content
    Your social posts need to be relevant and exciting, addressing your audience’s wants and needs. They also need to be consistent with your brand’s image and values. Visual content does exceptionally well with viewers. Consider incorporating videos and photography of your workspace and projects.
  • Post timely and be responsive
    Figure out when your audience is most active online so that you can capture their attention and inspire interaction. Be sure to respond both when commenters give you praise and criticism. You gain respect by being present and addressing your audience.
  • Track your performance
    It’s essential to keep up with how you’re resonating with your audience. Monitoring the metrics behind your campaigns provides valuable insights into what’s working and what could use improvement.
