Are you or your company in the early stages of social media marketing. Here are some tips that might be helpful.
Develop a plan. The plan will help you focus on your goals and, in turn, will help you achieve those goals.
Start slowly. You don’t have to do everything at once. If you did, you would be overwhelmed and have no idea what is and isn’t working.
Testing is important. Nothing is more frustrating to the end-user than broken links or non-working buttons. Test. Test. Test.
It’s okay to lose friends/followers. Not everyone is really interested in what you have to say. Wouldn’t you rather be talking to 500 people who want to hear from you than 1,000 where half of them just don’t care?
Look, listen and learn. The average person on Facebook follows 25 brands. Take a look at the big guys (Starbucks, IKEA, Pepsi) and see if their campaigns could translate into something you could use. Don’t reinvent the wheel. You want your brand to be one of the 25 that people want to follow.
