Social Media Marketing’s Finer Details

What’s so great about social media is that it’s versatile for different audiences. Based on your specific consumer, each platform has a unique ability to utilize different algorithms, uses, character limits, audio/visual trends, and more to make your content stand out. Whether you’re using Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, or Twitter, always initiate efficient social media posting to each channel with your brand in mind.

Where Should You Begin?

Keep in mind that each social platform has its own unique audience. With that being said, when establishing and creating your content plan, it’s tailored for each target audience. For example, if your target audience is pointed toward millennials and Gen Z’ers, make sure the platforms you’re using appeal to that demographic—Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Secondly, select the most ideal platform for your business, as it will vary across each industry and your business’s goals. Let’s say a business that offers videography services. More likely, the majority of their content would be best suited for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok versus Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Now, what if your business specializes in consumer manufacturing? Based on its curated content, its best-suited social platforms would be LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter versus Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Selecting the Right Social Media Platforms

It’s important to know that every social media platform is based on a type of algorithm—for example, utilizing more hashtags on Instagram is more beneficial than LinkedIn, and having more or fewer characters in the posted content is more effective on Twitter than Facebook, etc. Including specific audio or visual trends can also increase impressions and reach, such as Instagram Reels and TikTok videos. These are important pieces to consider based on the social media platform you sign up for.

Take this as a go-to tip: posting consistently—a minimum of 2 times per week—while engaging with other accounts including followers, hashtags, and more, is vital for long-term page growth! Strengthening your social media presence takes a lot of time, commitment, and persistence. But with hard work, comes great reward.

Be Informative, Fun, and Professional!

Why only use one social platform when you can have them all? Maximize the opportunity! Having a presence on multiple social channels is immensely valuable for your business, as it allows for more brand awareness, product and service order placements, and various ways to interact and engage with your community and targeted audience. You’ll become a brand everyone wants to know about.

With that, customer service is a critical component of your overall social media marketing strategy. As we’ve mentioned how important reputation management is in a previous blog, take the proper steps to ensure your business holds a positive reputation across every social platform. Since it seems like every business can be under a microscope in today’s digital age, any negative social interaction can result in a bad impression for potential customers and followers. Always respond professionally and with a fun personality. No one likes to communicate with bots.
