The development of social media has changed the way businesses view their online interactions. The control of its image and its web communication has become essential. We can no longer count the number of bad buzz or media failures directly related to these issues. Beyond the communication dimension, Facebook, Twitter, or even Google+ can be real growth sources for your brand. Today we offer you ten simple tips that will help you develop, refine and monetize your social media strategy.
Here are some simple tips that help you to develop your social media strategy:
1. DO NOT SCATTER AND FOCUS ON THE MEDIA WHERE THE CUSTOMERS ARE
There are dozens of social networks or sites with a strong social character. Only a few of them matter. You will quickly realize that only certain specific sites generate growth for your business. Develop a strategy on the dominant social networks such as Facebook or Twitter and be present on a few sites and blogs directly related to your industry/niche. Start with those referral sites, build yourself a virtual referral image before tackling the smaller sites.
2. PREFER A SINCERE AND REALISTIC PRESENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO A “FLASHY” PRESENCE
If your business is small, don’t try to look like a multinational in your digital strategy. It can be tempting, but you will gain a lot of credibility by staying fair and close to your customers. The web has a memory. All the content you put online can be found one day or another. By having a sincere approach and sticking as closely as possible to your customers’ expectations, you will not disappoint them. Your credibility on the internet will develop on its own in the form of a virtuous circle.
3. BE REGULAR IN PUBLICATIONS
There is nothing worse for your image on the internet than an irregular publication. Be active at least once a week to keep the attention of your readers/customers. This regular activity will have a double advantage. On the one hand, it will allow you to keep the attention already acquired from your customers and attract and retain your prospects. Of course, your content should always be neat and of high quality.
4. THINK ABOUT ADVERTISING ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
The Facebook Ads, for example, maybe in place for a few euros. Above all, they will allow you to reach very targeted users in terms of demographic profile.
5. INTEGRATE SHARING TOOLS ON YOUR BLOG
Each article on your blog should have “like” or “share” buttons so that your readers can easily share the content of your articles on Facebook or Twitter.
6. USE SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATION TO ENTERTAIN
Your readers are not there to read long and to forbid content. Studies prove that Internet users are above all looking for easy access to information. Focus on a text that is reasonable and powerful. Look at the advertisements that work in the world and use this approach for your content: we remember entertaining.
7. BE TRANSPARENT IN YOUR STRATEGY.
There is nothing worse than a business starting a communication on social media and backing off the first thorny question posted by a user. Face the difficulties and sometimes very unsettling questions from your readers. Only by adopting a sincere speech will you be able to be credible.
8. CONTENT MUST HAVE VALUE
You need to deliver added value to your customers/readers, don’t forget that. On the internet, readers are in high demand and are overwhelmed by information. Your content shouldn’t be seen as mundane if you want your visitors to come back frequently.
9. INTEGRATE YOUR DIGITAL STRATEGY INTO YOUR MARKETING / COMMUNICATION PLAN.
You cannot go back without losing credibility. If you are getting started on social media (which is imperative these days), you will have to invest time and money. This strategy should be perfectly integrated into your marketing/communication plan with a specific budget. This is essential if you want to achieve defined goals.
10. AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOLLOWING A BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET DOES NOT NECESSARILY LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN SALES.
Digital communication is a fabulous marketing tool that will help you develop and improve the relationships you have with your customers. This will not be felt directly on your turnover, but you will undoubtedly reap the benefits over time.
