Editor's Notes
Social media allows you to build a community around your business, and connect with your customers in meaningful ways 24/7
AUT and world internet project – every two years.
Deloitte study last year.
Short of it is, we’re connected and more reliant on the online world more than ever before.
Social media is only growing in importance in terms of building profile and awareness with new customers, and trust and loyalty with existing ones.
That will only increase.
Content will depend on your objectives – lead nurturing, maintaining or growing your community, promotions and sales
Lead nurturing – think about what type of content would be best for people:
Who don’t know you at all
Know you a bit, but yet to buy
Know and love you.
What type of content and messaging do they need and how will you deliver it?
Most engaging content…
Inspire or entertain
Solves a problem
Answer a difficult question
- Including a great image or video will only add to the chances of sharing
Story Telling
The first goal of storytelling is appealing to the emotions of an audience, to generate strong bonds with your brand values.
Make sure you:
Convey your personality
Stay true to your brand
Use emotion – what do you want them to feel?
Content Marketing
Delivers value to potential customers in a way that traditional marketing doesn’t.
Provides relevant and useful information to customers to build trust, relationships, sales and loyalty.
Often used to position a business as a leader in its field or as an authority in a certain area.
Often delivered through social media channels.

Which channel/s are best for your business?
What type of business are you?
Who are your customers?
What type of products or services do you sell – purchase?
What’s the buying process – quick/impulse or longer term investment and research
Where are your customers online – what social media channels do they use personally and professionally
