Social media is already an integral part of brand communication. In today's newsletter, I am going to cover both the management and the campaign parts of it. There will still be various aspects for it that I intend to discuss in the upcoming editions. Moreover, I invite you to share your experience with other business owners and marketing directors to help each other grow in the post-pandemic era.

In various marketing aspects, I believe that performance is key to achieving results and driving action. Hence, in every medium that we plan to consider, we should be getting a great return on investment and healthy engagement.

What Is Social Media Management?

Social media management refers to developing, publishing, managing, promoting, and analysing content across social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, etc.

Social media management is much more than just posting updates to your brand’s social media handles. Instead, it involves engaging with your audience and searching for innovative opportunities to boost visibility and reach.

Choosing the Appropriate Social Media Management Platforms

All social media platforms aren’t the same. They appeal to different segments of society. For instance, TikTok’s users are usually 16 and 24. On the other hand, LinkedIn is a professional social media platform for business-related insights, including thought leadership content.

Choosing the right platform involves understanding what type of users each appeals to and why they use it. The simplest way to gauge whether your customers are on a specific social media platform is to use information gathered from your persona and access every forum. Set up an account and search for hashtags, users, content, and questions related to your industry.

As you search, gather your findings. Your objective is to create a case for investing time in the social media channel. If you think there aren’t enough users and little content, go on to the next platform.

Benefits of Social Media Management

There are several advantages of social media management.

Cost-Effective

Social media is a budget-friendly marketing tool. It’s free to use social media platforms, publish posts, reply to comments, etc. Even advertising on social media is cost-effective to reach your audience and build an online following.

Increased Reach

Social media channels, from LinkedIn to Facebook, can connect with users all over the globe. You can even use social media channels such as Pinterest to reach niche markets. Conventional advertising and marketing tools cannot match the reach that social media has to offer. Besides, this is why social media management is vital for brands.

Align with Customer Behaviour

Social media as part of your marketing strategy helps you align your marketing objectives with consumer behaviour. For instance, 74 per cent of people use social media to make buying decisions. Moreover, 80 per cent of people get recommendations about a purchase from social media.

Social Media Campaigns?

Social Media campaigns can have a substantial positive impact on your business. According to a recent report by HubSpot, more than 92 per cent of marketers said that social media marketing campaigns were necessary for their business. Furthermore, 80 per cent of the respondents even said that their efforts are boosted traffic on their website. Here is a complete breakdown of how campaigns can benefit your business.?

Social media campaigns are one of the most cost-effective digital marketing tools to boost your brand’s visibility. Executing an effective campaign will essentially increase your brand recognition as you will engage with a massive audience of consumers.?

You can develop a unique brand voice even if you’re short on budget. The widespread use of social media channels allows you to display your content directly to your target market. For example, you can use witty tweets to market to the younger generation. Likewise, a couple of fun tweets can help you acquire customers who will spread the word about your brands.?

Enjoy Higher Conversions

Every post you make on your social media channels is an opportunity to convert numerous new customers. Moreover, it takes effort and time to figure out the right content for the relevant channels. (where several marketers often get confused)

However, once you start, you will build a following and interaction. It will involve recent customers, old customers, new customers, and the followers and friends of all those customers.

Every campaign you create is a chance for you to convert a curious customer into an actual follower. These followers might then subscribe to your blog, visit your website, and ultimately make the stride to become successful paying consumers.?

Enhanced Ranking on Search Engines

Even though building social media campaigns might bring your business some web traffic, more effort is needed to see considerable success. SEO (search engine optimisation) is vital for attaining better page rankings and getting traffic to your website.?

Even though social media doesn’t directly impact search engine rankings, nearly 60 per cent of marketers who have been on social media for one year or more still witness better search engine rankings. Ranking better in the high positions for your primary and secondary keywords will transform your web traffic and continue to offer positive results for your business.?

Show Consistency in Social Media Posting can add value.

Using the different platforms properly shows what you can offer to your customers. Moreover, it improves your searchability. Consistent posting allows potential prospects to understand how you can add value. You have to make sure you produce the right content, supported with the right images, alt text, descriptions, meta tags, key phrases, etc. Consider Social media as a rowing boat, with different team members synchronising their strokes at the exact speed, time, and right direction.
