Social Media Strategy
Do you still not have a well-cultivated social media strategy for your company?
Maybe you’re questioning your current strategy in terms of your business goals and wondering if you’re using the right measures? Are you unsure about the necessity of up-and-coming channels like LinkedIn or TikTok?
Is social media still uncharted territory for you and your company?
In today’s world, a sustainable and efficient strategy is more important than ever. Facebook was founded in 2004, YouTube in 2005, Instagram in 2010 and Twitter in 2006. With over 2.9 billion people within the Facebook App family alone (Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram), over 100 million business profiles worldwide, and a sophisticated advertising infrastructure, you’d think that Facebook would be a no-brainer in the marketing universe. Or maybe YouTube, with over 2 billion users, LinkedIn with over 700 million users, or the rising social media star, TikTok? However, that’s definitely not the case and many companies don’t understand all the ins and outs of these channels – not to mention, all the potential that lies within social media as marketing platforms, lead generators, reputation boosters and even sales channels.
But if you’re thinking about entering the world of social media, your strategy needs to be well-planned and thought out. Simply setting up a Facebook page or Twitter channel and publishing content without regular reviews and criticism is no longer enough in today's digital world. With the amount of content that’s available, yours needs to stand out from the crowd.
Long story short, if you’re working without a strategy that’s based on clearly defined corporate goals, you won’t get very far. That’s why it’s important to keep your eyes on the goal - otherwise you’ll miss the target.
