It’s All in the Delivery: Using Social Media Effectively

At Flyline Search Marketing, we talk about social media a lot, and we really do support it, but is there more to it than just the content? Is it science or is there an art behind it? 

Really, there is because even if you have all the content in the world, it will not matter if you have no one to deliver it to, or if you deliver it to the wrong people.

When using social media, it is extremely important to do your research and be sure that your message is going to the right people and in the most effective manner. Following these simple tips can and will help you and your business to grow through effective social media marketing.

Know Your Target Audience

You wouldn’t give a cheeseburger to a vegetarian would you? Not if you knew they were one, but if you didn’t, then you just might. It is imperative that, when using social media tactics, you know your target audience.

It’s all about when you advertise, to whom you advertise, and where you advertise. This is what makes social media sites so perfect for your advertising; everyone is on Facebook. 

From little Johnny to Grandpa, with Facebook, you can effectively reach out to any demographic. Of course, there is more to it than just knowing who you want to sell to.

Know Your Service or Product

Many people blog; companies have blogs as well as individuals, and people read them. Chances are if you own a plant nursery when someone comes along your website and reads your blog, then they are going to be interested in learning about plants; about what you sell.

If you have a business blog, (which you should), it’s important to blog about things related to your business. 

This is because if anyone that purposefully comes to your site falls in to your target audience, it’s vital to show them how your product or service could help them and resolve their problems.

The Delivery

When using social media as a form of business marketing, it is all in how you present the content. Give information, offer tips, and gear the wording towards your businesses suspected audience demographic.

This great article from Forbes states it well and helps to show how you can know if your approach is as effective as it could be. Content is important, and you need a lot of it; post to your Facebook and Twitter accounts all day long, update the blog three times a week.
