Aspects of Successful Social Media Utilization
Speaking to Your Audience
It may seem obvious, but tailoring your organization’s social media messaging to reach your specific audience is a step that many people overlook. It isn’t enough to put out bland, general messages that aren’t specifically targeted at anybody. Instead, your social media content needs to be designed to resonate with your intended audience.
Before creating any social media content, take time to think about the type of person most likely to be interested in the product or service you offer. Consider their age, income bracket, interests, lifestyle, and other aspects of their personality. Then think about how you can tailor your social media posts to resonate with the type of person you have in mind.
Clear, Consistent Branding
Customers don’t want typical marketing attempts when they engage with your company or organization on social media; they want a personality that they can interact with in a meaningful way. One necessary aspect of meeting this expectation is having a clear, consistent brand that your social media presence conveys.
To develop this brand, consider what values and character traits your brand exemplifies. Considering examples that big-name brands set is a good way to start thinking about your own brand. For instance, Apple conveys itself as a tech-savvy innovator, while business networking giant Linkedin exemplifies a professional personality above all else. Thinking about what makes your brand unique is a crucial step to successful social media usage.
Familiarity with the Medium
Along with general knowledge about what makes a social media campaign successful, specific knowledge about the particular social media platform you’re posting on is also vital. Taking time to get to know the platform that you’ll be posting on will set your social media campaign up for success.
Some things to consider are the demographics that make up the platform’s user base and the type of content (such as video content or static posts) that performs best on the platform. You should also research what time of the day tends to get the most engagement on the platform and schedule your posts accordingly.
How Administrative Virtual Assistants Can Help
Since successful social media utilization involves many different aspects, tackling this side of your business alone can seem like a daunting challenge. Bringing in the additional help that a virtual assistant can offer can make achieving your social media goals much more feasible.
