Editor's Notes
- Business.pinterest.com
- You need to be able to describe the value proposition of your event in one sentence. Like a mission statement, but not too mission statement-y. Whatâs the one thing that makes you unique? With Zapposâs itâs not the shoes, itâs their customer service. 2. a. Generate sales â using social media to create first-time customers and drive repeat business 2. b. Brand enthusiasm â turning customers into fans 2. c. Loyalty â building long-lasting relationships Some of your audience has never heard about you. Others are raving fans. Who are you trying to reach? This matters because your messages to these diverse groups will be very different. a. awareness â they may have heard something about you b. interest â heard about you, visited your website, no purchases c. action â theyâve made a single purchase d. advocacy â fans of the brand, told friends, frequent/repeat purchases
- Knowing how your audience behaves within social media is critical. This will help you select the social media channels you use, and the types of promotions you run. Are they creators, joiners, critics, or merely spectators? Who from your organization will be the one âtalkingâ in social media? One person, a team? Figure it out in advance and get buy in from those who will be doing it. Which social media tools/channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) are the best ones for your organization AND your audience? People love social media. Why? Because they can develop relationships with a brand. Those brands that sound like real people, anyway. You have to put a âfaceâ on your brand. Whatâs your voice? Fun, urban, folksy? Whatever you choose to measure, make sure it ties back to your goals and objectives. Before you start, establish some baseline metrics so that you have some things to compare. Weâll talk some more about measurement in just a minute. Sit in a room with your team and some flip charts. Go through each of these questions until you have answers for them. This will become your strategy. Once itâs finessed, share it with your organization, your board, etc.
