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?

“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.
