Social media has taken the world by storm since its original creation. The amount of social media users has risen up to over 4 billion (which will be double what it was in 2015). On average, people have at least 8 different social media accounts- and they don’t just have them, they’re using them! Big platforms like Facebook saw well over half of their monthly users using Facebook daily in some of the latest data. The volume of people using social media, however, is not the only thing that’s changed.
The way people use social media has changed as well! It was originally created as a way for friends and family to communicate and socialize online, but it has become so much more than that. In today’s world, yes the main use remains to be interacting with friends and family, but it’s also an opportunity for brands and consumers or leads to connect. Listen to these recent statistics. 71% of consumers who had a positive social media experience with a brand were likely to recommend it to other people, and 21% of consumers are more likely to buy from brands that they can reach on social media. Social media platforms have started doubling as ecommerce platforms and/or as a major step in your marketing funnel for building connections.
So if you’re new to social media, what you need to understand as a business owner is that at its core social media is a place for people to connect with friends, family and brands alike. And as it continues to grow at an explosive rate you’ll want to take advantage of it for your business. That’s where social media marketing services come in.
Social media marketing is the use of social media to increase brand awareness, build a targeted following, drive website traffic, and ultimately increase your sales. Social media marketing for small businesses and entrepreneurs gives them the ability to establish their brand and online presence on platforms where their target audience is already scrolling.
All of that sounds pretty good, right? So where do you start? Well, some of the social media platforms you can use to do this are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
The important thing to know is that there are two parts to social media marketing: organic social media management, which you will read about on this page, and paid social media advertising services which you can click here to read more about.
The way to best decide how to go about your social media marketing plan is to first decide what your business goals and marketing goals are and what you would like to get out of social media marketing. So let’s talk a little more about that below.
Think about the amount of people that we said use social media. At the rate social media has grown (and continues to grow), you are bound to find a percentage of your target audience on these platforms.
Social media marketing helps you put strategic social media content and/or social ads in front of them where they’re already scrolling and spending their time. This gives your business valuable, extensive and targeted exposure.
When you leverage social media marketing effectively, you maximize your reach, qualified website traffic and conversions. What are conversions? Conversions can either be a completed sale, a completed lead form or anything else that you deem as a valuable action on your site. Typically, conversions are what you call the end goal action you’re wanting to receive from your social media efforts.
This is why it’s important to determine what your goals are first so that you can then plan your social media marketing plan accordingly to meet those goals!
If you have been using social media for a while now, you’ve probably seen and interacted with a business page’s post or ad especially if it was a brand you like! Your target audience is no different. They like engaging with brands they favor and trust. But how do you create that brand-consumer trust?
That is where social media marketing, also commonly known as SMM promotion, comes in. This specific digital marketing method aims to increase brand awareness and establish brand trust by building a solid social media presence for your brand.
The statistics say it all! An effective social media marketing strategy indeed plays a vital role in growing your brand and revenue.
