15. Everyone else is doing it!Whatever your reason(s), be clear why you are doing it – plan it and decide how to measure success.

16. 5 Starting Points to Social Media: 1 – Listen and Research First Start to ‘listen’ to various social media channels – relevancy of communications, sites, influencers, etc can be established. Social Media is about interaction, relationships and meaningful contributions. Competitor analysis – companies with a Page 1 presence on search engines for key terms are there because of their online presence on the Internet. What are they doing and where online, are they active? Keyword research. This is pivotal to the eventual success of the digital strategy. Do not skimp this part – get this wrong and you will be wasting resources and missing opportunities. www.trisynergymarketing.co.uk t: 023 9248 0082
17. 5 Starting Points to Social Media: 2 – Decide Your Resources Digital media and social media are not free: they literally ‘eat’ time; how much time can you sensibly give to it? Consistency is key; if you read a blog that has not been updated in months, what impression do you get? Decide where your material is going to come from. Include latest trends and news to keep current. How easily can you offer exclusive value to your online community? www.trisynergymarketing.co.uk t: 023 9248 0082
18. 5 Action Points: 3 – Schedule With time in mind, prioritise what you are going to do; start slowly and get it right. Decide your schedule for each of the social platforms and digital media you want to use. Keep to it. Plan ahead and prepare material before it is required – you won’t get caught out if busy with other parts of the business. www.trisynergymarketing.co.uk t: 023 9248 0082
19. 5 Action Points: 4 – Personal and Professional The personal, interactive approach is the key to loyal followers. It is not a platform for hard selling. Monitor and respond to comments and direct messages. Caution: although informal, keep all branding, core values and marketing positioning consistent; professionalism is key. www.trisynergymarketing.co.uk t: 023 9248 0082
20. 5 Action Points: 5 – Measure and Automate Decide how you are going to measure success. Visits to website? Enquiries? Quality of followers? Use analytics. Set goals for what you want to achieve. Automate to save time; look at Hootsuite and TweetDeck. www.trisynergymarketing.co.uk t: 023 9248 0082
