5 top tips for your business social media strategy



Social media isn’t going anywhere – it is how 1000s of people communicate and stay in touch with each other across the globe every day. This means that no business can afford to ignore it.
Yes, it may be time consuming but in the long run, it will pay dividends. And here are five reasons why:
Firstly, have a think about what your goals are before planning out your social media marketing strategy.
If your business has weaknesses, could social media help you strengthen them? And your business strengths could really shine through.

1. Be specific


Ensure that the area of business that you want to develop is precise – this will enable you to plan out what platforms will get the message across and to what audience.

2. Assign job roles     

                               

Don’t leave your strategy to chance! Make sure that someone is assigned to each role and sticks to your planned timetable of updates, shares and other activities.

3. Be Realistic


Think about your budget and time and be realistic about what you will achieve from your efforts. A lot of the time, social media is about branding and helping with your SEO – very often, paid advertising on certain platforms will gain business but in general, people don’t like to be ‘sold to’.

4. Add website content


Every website needs to be updated regularly with relevant, well-written content. This content can be shared across the social media channels to help draw traffic to your website. Make sure that all of your updates are good quality and consistent.

5. Monitor your performance


You need to be able to monitor your social media strategy progress.
Obviously, good social media management and planning is all about time – it will take a few months for you to start creating a community. When you do, your business should stand out from the crowd - if it is done properly, of course.
