What is Social Media Marketing?
Social media marketing is using social platforms to engage directly with your customers and prospects. This direct connection allows for digital relationships to form between your brand and your audience. Brands and people can post and interact with each other like they are having a conversation in person while being across the street or across the globe.
Why is Social Media Marketing Important?
Social media marketing allows you to be in constant contact with your audience and the public. This connection provides valuable insight into your media strategy in advertising without spending vast sums of money on consumer research. Active creation of engaging content allows you to establish your brand as a thought leader and influence your target audience.
How Businesses Use Social Media for Marketing?
How a business uses social media marketing will vary based on what their definition of social media success is. Brands can use social media to:
- Grow their brand and find new leads and customers.
- Foster engagement and recurring sales from current customers.
- Improve customer retention and the customer experience.
The best brands on social media get their audience to be active with the brand. This enables them to measure engagement, understand the perception of their brand, and find where their brand fits in their industry or niche.
How Effective is Social Media Marketing?
Social media marketing is one of the most effective media strategies in advertising. The effectiveness of your social marketing efforts depends on the specific KPIs you’re tracking and the quality of your metrics (engagement, conversion rates, impressions, etc.). Your social media marketing metrics will also vary greatly depending on what platform you advertise on.
Which Social Media Platform is Best for Marketing?
There is no one-size-fits-all platform for social media marketing. LinkedIn helps you reach more of a business audience allowing you to connect with B2B decision makers and find employees. Instagram allows you to tell powerful stories through photos and very short videos. Facebook allows you to reach a broader audience and create communities. Hootsuite allows you to supercharge your efforts across all these platforms and deliver content in a timely fashion. Our Marketing Node connects all the above platforms and gives you access to simplified analytics to help you make better social media marketing decisions.
