Often, a business will indulge in “overkill” trying to be on
every Social Media platform available. There are literally thousands
of applications and sites where a business can display their wares,
some of them are short lived, others (Facebook for example) are
staples.
This advice may seem a little odd coming from Roam Business, since
we are on 9 different Social Media Platforms (and still growing!).
But it is the nature of our business, Social Media Marketing, to be
as available on as many platforms as possible.
The rule of thumb is - “know your audience”. Do a little
research and find out what Social platforms they use. The second
caveat is - “talk to them, not at them”. You want them to get to
know you, you aren't just pitching merchandise. Don't be afraid to
try a few different Social networks, but if they don't work, drop
them.
Social Media Marketing is a marathon, not a 100 yard dash, It may
take time to find and build your audience on the right platform, but
the time invested will be worth its weight in loyal followers and
excellent references.
Above all, once you have determined your best Social Media
outlets, keep your content informative and current. Nothing will
lose your followers faster than the same old tired content. Stay on
top of current trends in your market and how world affairs affect
your product or service. People will enjoy your articles and return
for more.
