How does your social media marketing stack up to Dior’s plan?
Social Media isn’t a stand alone marketing tool; for it really means using a host of multiple online tools that take into account the online, mobile and tablet experience.
Three ideas to keep in mind when creating your personal or companies social media plan are to Engage, Create and Transcend.
Engage means to catch the audience that you want to read your content in the places they are located. Where does your audience spend the most time online? Are they pinning on Pinterest, reading news on Bloglovin’, or watching videos on YouTube? The key is to know where they hang out online and provide easy access to your content.
Create new opportunities for your target audience to discover, learn and participate in news and sharable experiences. People like to be the first
to know the news, what is trending and the latest gossip so give your audience what they are looking for and they will naturally share your content.
Transcend the online experience by providing meaningful connections between your fans, their conversations and communities of interest. Varied personality types are online, despite their difference they can form an online community around a common interest, theme or idea; so give this audience what they are looking for and connect them in a strong online community which can be connected through your online content.
Think of these three ideas the next time you begin your social media marketing campaign to get your strategy off in the right direction.
