Social Media Management
Social media has completely changed the way consumers purchase goods and services; it has opened the door to more interactive brand engagement and consumer communication. The powershift from brand to consumer was swift, and now the social media strategy a brand creates will determine the relationship it has with its consumers.
Consumers and businesses can now communicate likes and dislikes like never before. Brands that choose to use social media to connect with their audiences and take the time to understand their needs, will be in a better place than ever before possible. By reaching consumers with extremely efficient ROAS, the brand can nurture more return business, referral business, and also new business.
Brands that have failed to adapt, or new brands who lack the internal resources to execute useful social media strategies, will suffer from a low trust factor among their target consumers. A lack of use of social media strategies will result in a lack of trust on the part of the consumer.
Social media is no longer exclusively about creating brand awareness. Studies find consumers utilizing it later in the sales journey to satisfy quality and trust inquires. Consumers do not only find new brands on social media outlets; they circle back to social media to confirm the business claims after accessing brand promises on the businesses landing pages or lead captures.
Social media management is the process of; creating content in the form of a written message, blogs, pictures and videos, scheduling the content to be posted at the optimum time for user exposure and engagement, analyzing the outcomes from the various campaigns, and responding to consumers, affiliates, and affiliate content.
