Social Media Marketing is a key concern for most businesses today. As social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and many others continue to grow, businesses scramble to use these sites to gain the eyes of their target audience. But, what happens to the small business who has under 5 employees or no resources [time or money] to devote to this form of marketing? Or, maybe they lack a strategy for their campaign or content to post each day, what happens then? Their social media marketing ends up being less “social” and often falls to the bottom of the list of “To Do’s” which is the pitfall of social media marketing and why many businesses are not getting the results they had hoped for.
Should a business ditch the social media marketing campaign because they are not getting the results they had hoped for? Not if they want to attract the next generation of consumers! The solution isn’t to ignore the problem, but to get the help you need to handle your social media marketing. If your company does not have the resources to outsource your a social media marketing to a marketing specialist or to hire a person to handle your campaign in-house, consider hiring a marketing consultant to come in and brainstorm with you about a strategy and content that will work for your business. You can also attend seminars and training on how to use social media for your business. Research what is available in your area and take action. The more time you delay on adopting a sound plan for your business, the less chance you have to reach your desired marketing goals.
All my best to your success ~ Charlene.
