How To Develop a Social Media Marketing Campaign

The following information is all essential for the development of an effective social media campaign.

1.) Strategize

First, decide what you would like to accomplish with your social media campaign. Knowing what goals you would like to accomplish is essential for choosing the best platform. This is also necessary for knowing what metrics to track to evaluate your campaign’s performance.

These goals could include expanding professional connections, increased website traffic, improved customer experiences, etc.

2.) Develop Your Social Media Page

Develop a social media page with your brand values at its core. Design your page using your brand colors, high-quality graphics, banners, and post content that is relevant to your target audience. Post regularly to remain relevant.

3.) Be Active on Social Media

Use social media to share organizational news, community involvement, blog posts, and to engage new audiences. Respond to all consumer feedback in a mature way that reflects positively on your brand.

Social media is also a great opportunity to connect with other professionals in your industry. Use this opportunity to network with service providers, industry experts, and other potential influencers.

3.) Track Campaign Performance

Some platforms (Ex: Twitter) offer analytical tools to help assist in tracking your social media campaign performance. There are also other free online tools, including Google Analytics, that also provide important information.

There is also an extensive list of paid tools that work in real-time to deliver performance data. It is best to reach out to social media marketing professionals to learn more about which tools are worth the investment.

4.) Outsource to Maximize Campaign Effectiveness

Social media marketing is a full-time job. Invest in the right tools and services to get the most out of your social media campaign efforts. Rarely is this a task that can be handled in-house due to a lack of human and financial resources.

Outsourcing allows you to focus on your business without hiring a salaried employee to handle your social media management needs. Exults specializes in digital marketing campaign strategies, development, and management.
