Social Media Strategy for Small Businesses
You may be active on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or all of them. But do you know why you are there?
Who do you expect to connect with? Who do you want to connect with? Why do you want to connect with them?
How will you know if you have succeeded, or if you have just been wasting your time?
Are your social media postings ‘joined up' in a way that integrates into your overall marketing strategy?
Do you know what you get out of it and how that compares to your other marketing initiatives?
Jayne Reddyhoff of The Adword Adviser will help you to put the ‘WHY' into your Social Media activity.
She will be discussing the following steps in building your strategy:
- Profile Your Audience - deciding who you should be talking to
- Determine Your Objectives - make sure you are not just faffing about in Facebook or Twitter twaddling
- Formulate Your Message / Find Your Niche - what are you going to be famous for?
- Select Your Platform(s) - where does your audience hang out?
- Become Your Own Evangelist - share your passions!
- Social Media Regime - finding the time for Social Networking
- Measurement - if you don't measure it, you can't manage it!
