Have you ever wondered what social media strategies these powerful businesses use to make their brand name on the platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter?
How have they managed to have millions of followers? What content ideas do they use that do the trick for them? Why does their target audience consume their content like a little child consuming candy? Well, look no further than here.
In this article, we will open a pandora’s box of information that will help you build your business name, increase sales and conversions, and make your audience fall in love with your brand. So, let’s jump in!
1.Presence On The Right Platform:
Your ideal audience is present on the right social media platform. Let’s get that straight first. Be it Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, or Tiktok.
But here you have to do a little research to know who your target audiences are. Where are they most likely to be available? Which platforms are they most likely to be using?
Do some digging into understanding the buyer persona of your consumers.
Is your brand more in creating business networks? Then LinkedIn is the platform for you.
Is business being of fashion-related products? Try Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok.
In today’s world, everything and everyone is on social media so you will always find your audience hunting for good content, just with a little research find the platforms to reach them.
2.Set Some Goals:
If you think just having some social profiles of your brand and posting once in a while is enough, then sorry to burst your bubble!
Set small goals in the beginning. 500 followers in the first month, experimenting and creating more engaging posts, interacting with the audience and resolving their issues, increasing conversion and sales through Instagram organically.
Gaining more traffic to the websites through social media channels. As it is rightly said, “A goal properly set is halfway reached.”
So, set some goals and work towards achieving them. And social media marketing takes time.
3.Content Is The King:
Well, this is something that you have probably heard a million times and we couldn’t highlight this enough! Your content is the pillar of your brand.
The kind of messaging you use could make or break your brand’s reputation. And if you do the right content marketing people start to connect with your business.
You not only built a happy relationship with the audience but also do a little branding along the ways that give your business a boost.
Which brand comes to your mind when you think of buying milk power? Is it Amul?
What comes to your mind when you have a sudden craving for ramen noodles? Is it Maggi?
How about which glue to buy for your little art and craft project? Fevicol, did we get that right? That’s the art of subconsciously establishing your brand name in the minds of the people. And this is the kind of recognition you can create for your brand among your target audience with the right content marketing strategy.
And remember your brand messaging should be simple, but at the same time significant.
4.Influencer Market:
So, if you are yourself present on social media you are probably familiar with the term ‘Influencer’. Influencers are those people who have a huge number of followers on social media platforms and they have created a fanbase of followers.
Their followers love their content and get influenced by them.
Influencer marketing in the last few years has stolen the spotlight and brands are taking advantage of this and collaborating with these influencers for their benefit.
Every other day you would see influencer brand collaboration posts. Even celebrities are collaborating with them to promote their movies! And influencers are there from niches.
So, whatever you sell there are influencers out just tailor-made for your brand.
5.Engage And Interact:
Create more traction on brands’ social pages by creating more engaging content on your page, being more interactive with your audience on a real-time basis, answer to their queries, messages, and comments.
Do it more creatively. The more creative you are the better connection you create with your audience.
Zomato tries to respond to all their comments. They happily encourage it. Whenever someone has a query and a complaint instead of ignoring it or deleting it (which we highly recommend not doing) go above and beyond to resolve the issue.
This shows how highly you treat your customers and every time someone goes through the comment section, they see how much you care as a brand. Not only that, as a brand we could also engage with other people’s content.
6.Keep Up With Trends:
It’s either dancing to trending audio or a sudden transformation. Reels have the market. They so creatively expressed spread like wildfire.
One person does it and two days later it’s all about that particular trend. Posting more trend-related reels is the best way to catch the interest of the audience.
We have seen it ourselves how some Instagram pages have gained thousands of followers by creating and posting reels.
7.Stories, Live Videos, Highlights:
Social media platforms have so much to give that could help you build your brand if you know how to use it right.
There are stories, live videos, a highlight section and so much more. When you use all these formats your brand presence looks livelier and more active.
Your audience learns to trust you and what you offer. Every time you use one of these mediums you create brand recognition.
8.Know When To Stop:
You know there is a thing about posting a little too much. Your followers might not like that either. If you bombard their feeds with your content constantly, chances are they might get fed up and unsubscribe from your content.
This an art you have to learn to learn yourself. Learn to post at the right time and right way. Figure out when is the right time your audience would prefer to be more active and are willing to consume your content.
Social media marketing is not easy and not achievable in a day. You have to plan, and strategies, burn the midnight oil once in a while, and fail a few times may be. Your creativity must be at the top of your game at all times.
Keeping up with trends, interacting with your audience, coming live, and posting stories and reels. This is not easy. But every cloud has a silver lining.
Once you crack the game of social media marketing no one can stop your brand from growing your online business.
