Many companies make the mistake of attempting to establish a presence on as many social channels as possible right off of the bat. We cannot emphasize enough how impractical this is. At the end of the day, it is better to focus on establishing yourself and growing your brand presence on one or two social platforms. This gives you the ability to devote the proper amount of resources, time, and energy necessary for success.
Choosing the right platforms depends on a variety of factors. Channels such as Linkedin are focused on B2B relationships and HR initiatives, whereas Facebook and Instagram are more visual-driven and as a result, have a strong B2C focus. Before deciding on your social media channels, identify the audience you want to engage with. Facebook and Linkedin are the obvious channels most businesses select to be present on. You can expand as suitable onto Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, depending on the market.
Social media advertising can prove to be very effective, especially if you’re just starting out when it comes to building your social presence organically. Ads can provide your business with an opportunity to position your brand in front of eyes which normally wouldn’t see it. However, at the end of the day, social advertising tends to work best with companies which are consumer-focused.
When thinking about cross-promoting content, it’s important to conceive of each social media platform as having its own unique environment, rules, audiences, and set of best practices. What performs best on Facebook does not necessarily perform well on Instagram or Twitter. As a result, when repurposing content, it’s important to refine it to meet the needs of the platform it will be posted on in order to effectively deliver your message.
The key to measuring success lies in the amount of effort which is initially invested in developing a solid strategy, set of goals, and KPIs. Once this is set up, you can begin tracking and monitoring performance by utilizing native platform analytics and other various third-party tools which can track KPIs such as likes, shares, engagements, mentions, followers, link clicks, sales and other various conversions.
