1. Concentrate on Your Primary Target Audience.
Small businesses cannot afford to fail frequently, so they must ensure that their advertising budget is working hard for them. Your target people is the exact set of user’s who are most likely to want your product or any service, and hence the ones who should see your advertising efforts. Gender, age, interests, income, geography, and a variety of other characteristics may influence the target audience. Instead of chasing the next social media property, businesses should devote time in learning about their target audience and where they might find them. In many cases, a Google search will yield the best results; in others, Facebook or Instagram may.
2. Study Your Competitors
When designing a social media strategy for a client, one of the first tasks I do is to perform a competitive study. Investigate all of your main rivals.
- Observe each of their social media profiles to discover what material they are posting.
- how frequently they post it, and how many users interact with it
- Choose the social media site that produces the best results once you’ve established which one it is.
While you should not act only because a rival is, it is helpful to see what others in your industry are doing so that you may make an informed decision.
