Strategy and Actions to Kickstart Social Media Marketing
1. Decide and analyze What product or services you are going to promote.
Eg: A hotel website, a shopping website with fashionable outfits etc.
Products and Services will let you decide the best social media site for you. Eg: Linked In will be suitable for A Website related to Jobs & Training.
Facebook Company Pages and Groups with Shop Posts are beneficial for an E-Shopping website.
2. You should write precised posts with exactly what you want to convey to users because most of the users will not be interested in reading lengthy posts.
Try using rich graphics / images in your post with message / point you want to convey.
3. Using dynamic \”open graph\” and \”twitter card\” meta tags will let you configure the content of your website when shared on social media.
When to use : Sometimes we write content on our website for search engine optimization with keywords which may or may not be suitable for suitable for social media users.
In some cases images used on websites may not be upto the standards of social media posts. We can change them using \”og\” and \”twitter card\” tags.
4. Use #hashtag marketing. Hashtag marketing lets you tag your posts with suitable keywords that others might also be interested in. A hashtag will create a url which will have all the posts posted by other users using same keyword.
A popular #hashtag will have more amount of visits and you can take advantage of those visits by posting your content in the page as well.
There are many tools that can analyze popularity of any particular trending keyword with useful statistics like : number of impressions in a day, countries, gender, age-group etc.
You can decide your hashtag keywords accordingly.
5. Use creative banner and profile pictures for your group and page headers. A banner covers almost 30% area of a page on the first look. A more informative banner will always be effective than dull banners.
6. Someone from your social media marketing team should be a member of groups that belong to your niche. You will find groups with upto 1 Million+ users which are potential customers of your business.
7. Create Video Presentations & explainer videos and share them on youtube, twitter and facebook etc.
You can either hire an animation studio / freelancer for such task or you can DIY using sites like powtoon, emaze etc.
