Set goals SMART
That's right, be smart in marketing planning on social networks, applying actions that form the word smart (intelligent) in English:
Within this strategy, its objectives should be:
- Specific: Delimit concrete goals (followers, views, shares).
- Mesurable: How will you know you have succeeded with the actions?
- Reachable: Are your goals realistic? No exaggeration, search your acting market.
- Relevant: Do your KPIs (key performance indicators) measure engagement? If you don't use KPIs yet, try to understand the importance of this.
- Time limit: Set a fixed point to evaluate the success of the campaigns or campaigns.
Follow tips from creators and influencers. Often, they are bold in their goals and goals (e.g., “Help me reach 100,000 followers!”). This can help define a growth-focused strategy that you intend to achieve.
Video content is the most popular
Starting for practice, even if it is a strategy focused on ads (paid media), offering relevant and attractive content to your audience remains the main trigger for engagement and conversions. And, it is not enough to post a photo and creative caption, it is necessary to explore the trends that achieve results. And the videos, they're on the air!
Capriche in video content for publications on your company profile. It doesn't matter if the duration is long or short. All social media platforms support video content in one way or another. Video content is becoming increasingly a key tool for companies to get immediate rating.
You can also focus on Reels format and publish them on Facebook and Instagram. Different types of video content can be planned. If you are concerned about the brand, contact a professional who can help you in proper scheduling and in creating videos that have professional production.
This year, numerous brands worldwide have obtained approximately 45% more engagement through video content. So keep this format in the foreground, but continue with static posts and carousel (in the case of Instagram and Facebook).
Identify your ideal audience
Remember, social media has everything to do with segmentation. Do you aim to reach younger users? Then use TikTok or Twich. Mature users may prefer Facebook or Instagram, while B2B sales require presence on LinkedIn.
Identify clearly and accurately who your typical users are and focus on those you want to achieve. If you need to develop a research or methodology that can help in this task, crucial to reach, be it organic or paid.
This way, you can get the most suitable segment for your business, whatever it is. By using target audience targeting you can choose criteria such as location, age, sex, interests and more to reach your ideal customers, who naturally are on social networks.
Keep an eye on the competition
At the end of the day, you want your target audience to choose you over your competitors and that's why a competition search will make all the difference in this customer search. This can offer a vision of what your competitors are doing on social networks and give you ideas for your own social strategy.
Checking creative competition and understanding the trends applied to business, can enable you to think outside the box and create new content that allows your brand to stand out. By studying your competitors, focus mainly on the content that generates more interaction and engagement. Don't forget to look for influencers in your sector to inspire yourself and also become brand ambassadors if possible.
Seek relationships, not just followers
And here is the memory of the “metric of vanities”. Social media marketing best practices require you to build a double-handed relationship between you and the consumer.
Building relationships is more than just selling. It is about actively engaging in social listening, understanding your target audience and demonstrating the values your customers appreciate, while offering excellent customer service. Do not leave your followers in the vacuum without answering questions and questions. At the same time, avoid getting involved in polemics or “truths” of networks. Be professional and monitor conversations frequently.
One of the best known examples in the world in this respect is Red Bull, a brand that builds relationships with followers not only through great content aimed at converting radical sports stakeholders into fans, but also actively interacting with them in social media profiles.
The relationship should not be focused only on answers, but enchanting your audience that has been attracted in some way, so you need to convince them to buy what you seek to sell, but in a social way and aligned with clear goals.
Have an editorial calendar
Yeah, it's a common strategy, but it still works pretty well. Whether in spreadsheets, docs or posting tools on social networks, the old and good social media content calendar helps you manage your content and posting programming.
Create agendas for the days you post, for art creation, videos or subtitles, follow content themes and campaigns and get a detailed view of the posting frequency to ensure you find your audience when and wherever it is on a social network.
A good tip is to post more than 3 times a week, choose the times when there is interaction and reach in its contents, use and abuse the tests to understand which format has obtained the most results and delivery times.
If your business problem is time and arm, seek help from specialists or digital agencies like NVx to create and execute your editorial calendar, which should be a priority item for strategic planning, as digital marketing requires cadence and organization.
Set metrics for success
Just like the tests you can do to adjust improvements in social networks, it is essential to apply and understand the metrics that should guide your publications.
Define your metrics in the form of “success stories”. This is also one of the best strategies for targeting and targeting the public. Failure to define its main performance indicators and metrics often prevents business growth.
Note that social profiles need to deliver results. However, sometimes the method can be complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to define the metrics sharing their success cases with customers and target audience.
Post an action or campaign that has achieved recent success, completed project or even a milestone achieved so that viewers can determine their credibility. Online reputation plays an important role in your brand. Make sure you leave a positive footprint.
Always follow the main metrics that make the difference to success on social networks: likes, comments, shares, engagement, views, reach.
