Social media marketing is the perfect tool to help your small business compete with much larger brands. The problem for many businesses is that they underestimate the power of social media platforms, and more importantly, they underestimate the sophistication of the social media audience. We want to suggest 4 crucial components that will help you define, visualize, and maintain social media success. We want your small business to become a thriving, competitive, and profitable business. Consider the following components:
- Define realistic goals
Defining your goals. It is important to know what you expect, and what you want to achieve with social media platforms. Written and clearly defined goals helps you to remain accountable to yourself and will helps you to have measurable success. The goals that you set must be measurable, allowing you to observe your growth and progress. The goals you set should be for yourself and your business. Keep yourself accountable.
- Define your target audience
Knowing who your target audience is, is vitally crucial when drafting your social media strategy. The people that you need to reach with your social campaigns are the foundation of your business. Every contact, exchange, and interaction will lead to increased social media efforts or direct sales. Your efforts will only be beneficial if you know who is, and if you recognize who you are targeting. You also need a solid understanding of why they are coming to you.
- Build your brand
Whether you are an individual or a company, your brand is what makes you unique, and what makes you differentiate from the competition. To complete the picture, you will use a combination of photos, posts, profile information, customer anecdotes, and many other elements. All to provide a clear and consistent image to the public. As time goes on, maintaining that face becomes critical. You want people to become familiar with your logo, products, and your personality as a brand.
- Stay committed
You must stay committed to using social media to grow your business. Do not be fooled, the platforms are cute and easily interfaced, but it can be a lot of work at times. Maintaining an active presence and keeping a consistent stream of content for your followers to read is a daily process. Most people take their social media very seriously, and potential customers will notice the frequency, or infrequency of your content. They will judge you and rate your company by how actively you respond to their questions and comments. When you maintain your presence, not only will they learn about your services and your brand, they will learn to trust you; which is the key component for converting contact into sales.
