Having a social media profile isn’t enough; you need to be using it constantly, and using it in exactly the right way in order to generate interest and (hopefully) sales. Learn how each social media platform best works for businesses, whether it’s through a specific form of media, or ensuring that you are using the right hashtags on Twitter.
Social media is also a goldmine for getting to know your consumers and their buying habits. You first need to identify your consumer market in order to then investigate their behavior. You need to ensure that your activity on social media is at a peak during the times when your specific target market are most likely to be using social media. You should see the times your consumers usually post on their profile in order to get an idea of their online activity routine.
You should try and make online connections with influential people within your business area, or who are relevant to your target market. Social media offers the perfect opportunity to reach out to influencers and professional people and hopefully gain a response.
Consumers love to hear that a particular brand, product or business has been endorsed by their favorite influencer or someone they trust. Making a connection like this means you’re more likely to generate new leads from such an important business relationship.
You should provide an incentive to influencers in order for them to want to interact with you. This could be promoting something for them in return or reaching out to influencers who already have an active interest in your product or service and are looking for ways to further promote this in a mutually beneficial relationship.
As a growing business, you should always be aware of new technology, and which devices are more popularly used by your target consumers. This means you can tailor all your marketing and lead generation tactics towards relevant technology.
As most consumers now use their smartphones to browse the internet and find new business or products, your marketing tactics should be aimed towards smartphone use, as well as all other applicable devices.
Furthermore, different devices will offer their own unique opportunities for business promotion and lead generation. Smartphones, for instance, make the most use of apps.
Any content you post and provide for consumers should be entertaining and informative. Whether it’s a quick social media post, a blog post or a product page, it should be of high-quality with the aim that consumers will either want to share it or invest in your business after reading it. Decide the end goal before writing any piece of content to ensure that it’s always shaped towards the desired end result.
