Digitization and democratization of technology is altering the roles of both firms and customers. As a result, both firms and customers need to adopt new practices and change what they have done in the past.

Social media in particular has become an integral part of our daily lives, and even changing the way we communicate with each other.

That is why social media is an essential marketing tool, and if you can’t provide your audience with something new, interesting, or worth participating, then you lose social currency.

Social campaigns have strategic focus, measurable results, and influence social media followers to feel or take action in some way.

‍

Here are some few tips for your next social campaign:

‍

1- Define your vision and goals:

Making plans is very important before launching a social media campaign. You must first determine the primary and secondary goals of the campaign. Then, you must list how to measure whether the campaign is meeting its goals. For example, some of the goals are brand awareness, engagement, lead generation, customer support and much more.

‍

2- Avoid being general and make your campaign targeted:

The biggest mistake that some businesses make is that they run social accounts without making any effort to find their target audience.

Paying for ads, for example, is also becoming increasingly important if you want to reach your target audience, because social media networks have a lot of information about their users including hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc.

3- Contact social media influencers:

Influencer marketing is a form of collaboration with social media influencers, they are trusted users that can help you promote your products, services or brand in front of a potentially large audience, and boost your company’s sales and leads.

4- User generated content:

User generated content or UGC refers to content created by people and not the brand, like videos, images, texts, etc. It is creative in nature, adds something new and generally accessible. This strategy is very effective because it is a low-cost promotion, it keeps the content fresh and also customers trust UGC.

Companies can motivate users to engage in this activity by giving them social recognition or financial rewards.

5- Listen to what people say about your brand:

Brand monitoring is the process by which you follow up on what people say about your campaign to gather insights for your company’s evaluation. This includes your products, brand image, social media or other links related to your business.

It is really important to monitor your brand, so you can reverse any bad comments or critiques and provide solutions to their problems.

‍

6- Analyze and adjust

Take a moment to browse your analysis to understand what works and what doesn’t. Maybe one kind of visual content had a higher engagement than the others, check the time where there’s a high audience participation, then, use this knowledge to adjust the strategy for the next social media campaign.

Finally, a great social media strategy is not permanent and it can be altered. This is a continuous task and changes are made when necessary. Therefore, as you continue to develop and gain a deep understanding of your business and audience, you can develop a strategy and start optimizing it.
