In today's digital age, consumers are bombarded with marketing messages. It can be hard for them to discern genuine brands from those simply trying to sell something. This is where social media advocacy by employees and a strong overall social media presence come into play.
By leveraging these two forces, companies can cultivate trust and credibility with their audience.
The Power of People: Why Employee Advocacy Matters
People trust people more than faceless corporations. A study by LinkedIn showed that employees sharing work-related content generated 45% more sales leads per quarter. When employees enthusiastically talk about their company culture, values, and products on social media, it acts as a form of authentic marketing.
What are Social Mentions?
Social mentions are any posts on social media platforms that reference your brand. This includes posts where you're tagged (using "@" followed by your handle) or simply mentioned by name in the caption.
Why Should You Track Social Mentions?
Being mentioned on social media means people are talking about you – a great sign for any brand manager! But the real power lies in actively listening to these conversations. By tracking mentions, you can:
Harness Social Proof: Social proof is a powerful marketing tool. Positive mentions act as real-world testimonials, showcasing your brand's value proposition in action. Use these mentions to build trust and credibility with potential customers.
Deliver Stellar Customer Service: Social media has become a go-to platform for customer service. Monitoring mentions allows you to address customer inquiries and concerns directly, fostering positive brand experiences that resonate with other users.
Avert Crisis Before it Strikes: Social mentions can act as an early warning system for potential problems. By identifying negative sentiment early on, you can take proactive steps to address issues and minimize damage before they escalate into full-blown crises.
