Ever subscriber is an individualThe more you know about them, the more effective your marketing can beIn-house created content is incredibly powerful as a SM strategy – it firstly positions you as an expert/resource, it increases your SEO rankings, and it is PR fodder. A mix of in house content and third party content makes this strategy manageable.If you outsource, outsource to a reputable firm, who have a deep understanding of your objectives and your business communication style. A good outsourced PR/Media firm will work closely with your company, so the “voice” of your communications seems as though it’s coming directly from the brand.Utilize tools that allow you to collect your Social media data. (i.e. Contests, and promo tools that allow you to gather data)THEN you have the power to market to your customers in platforms such as EDM, SMS, print, radio etc – knowing that you will create more effective campaigns by understanding your customer.Deep understanding of your market = micro niches = higher conversion rates = Hurrah!All of the above result in a more targeted following on your SM platforms, and ultimately reinforcing your marketing strategy.
Use tools to measure when your posts get the most engagement.Add a little fun.Understand Facebook’s Edgerank – Videos rank better than pictures rank better than plain text – but it ALL depends on who interacts.
Social Media gives you a great platform to open conversation – but it’s very limited in what you’re allowed to do and what you can measure.Test and measure everything.Use digital tools (google analytics, Binkd, and other third party apps (Tweetior for twitter)Do nothing with just fans in mind – aim for ROI – these aren’t just fans, they are LEADS. Leads are valueless unless eventually converted into referrees or customers.
