Social media is a sensible way for us
to converse with clients, partners,
vendors, prospects and friends. The
various channels give us the ability to
engage with people and promote our
business at scale.
Social media channels can be used as
customer service forums, to promote
events and contests, offer coupons
and giveaway deals and much more.

SOCIAL MEDIA CONNECTIONS
“Engagement
happens when
people care.”

Before you dive in, think about what you want to achieve with your marketing goals. As you evaluate your goals, pull together a list of challenges
and opportunities you hope to address with your efforts. Start with the audience you want to address and think about how that community
currently perceives your business. What are the beliefs and attitudes they have toward your business? How do their attitudes need to change so
you can be successful?
Set Clear Goals
DEFINE SUCCESS
“Focus on the target.
Become efficient and seek
to understand the layers
of interconnections.”
@BadPennyFactory Slides
12
“Listening is a
critical part of the
conversation.”
Listen to what people are saying and seek
to understand them and their beliefs.
Craft your story in response to listening
and use messaging to convey
understanding.
Tell Your Story
What do you want your audience to understand about you? Use social media to share things that will build that understanding over time. Layer your
story with snackable bites so your audience has time to digest your message at a comfortable pace. Avoid saturated content heartburn.
Understand Your Audience

With so many social media channels
available it can be overwhelming to
try and manage multiple outlets of
communication. Each platform offers
unique benefits based on what
outcome you are trying to achieve.
Evaluate your brand and determine
the type of content that makes the
most sense for you to publish. Is your
business best represented by videos,
pictures, written stories or fast facts?
Do you use coupons in your
promotions? Ask yourself what works
for your market.
Start with consistently posting to 3
channels and then scale your
marketing from that benchmark.
