How to implement a social media marketing strategy



 
Source: www.mypureleveragebiz.net
We are all trying to use social media to sell things: products, services or ideologies. And social media is a great tool for your marketing efforts, but you need to be strategically innovative when investing money and your time in social media.

This is a interpretation of a video posted on www.mercadonegro.com, titled (in Spanish) CÓMO FIJAR UNA ESTRATEGIA EN REDES SOCIAES- November 11, 2014.

Veronica Figarella Head of Client Accounts for Grupo Ingenia suggests that you need to identify your business objectives before implementing your social media strategy. I think you need to establish your business goals before executing any kind of strategy in order stride for something bigger than your business idea and in order to measure your marketing and business efforts. These have to be short, medium and long term objectives.

After spotting your goals you need to determine what stage of life your brand is in, for example:

  1. In development = business idea
  2. Introduction = getting noticed
  3. Growth = establishing and positioning your band in the public
  4. Matured = loyal cliental, continued sales and positioning as a front runner
  5. Decline = you brand needs innovation
  6. Innovation = changes must occur, new branding, new products/services

Once you have identified your objectives as a business and the stage of life your business is in you can apply Veronica Figarella´s 4 objectives for setting up a social media marketing strategy:

  1. Awareness: you want to be seen; you want to be recognized, you want to be considered for a sale.
  2. Insights: Deepen and strengthen your relationship with your community, you can tell the stories your community wants to hear, generate a culture around your brand, generate a following.
  3. Generate new prospects: segmentation is much easier in order to accomplish an end, for example bring people to:
-      A landing page
-      Website
-      Fill surveys
-      Download rewards
-      Email marketing.
  1. Customer service: the consumer expects your social media channel to be a expansion of your customer services department. They want to:
-      See the objectives
-      Read recommendations
-      Quick response time
-      Be heard
-      Customer satisfaction


This has helped me a lot and has given me a method to follow. But without good stories and without engaging with your community any and all marketing strategies will fail. You need to engaging materials in order to established a following, people want to be heard and seen and marketers and entrepreneurs want their brands and products or services to be seen and bought, so invest some time in social media, get to know your audience, tailor products and stories to their liking and always identify tendencies that will only help you be seen,

I understand now ...

     This is for all the single mothers raising children. I am thankful that I was raised by a single mother; of course I needed a father, but that was the hand I was dealt. This emptiness was needless, but I have to recognize that my older brother and my mom tried to fill that void and they tried their best. In fact, most of the world, including the church, would say that I came from a dysfunctional family, but it was God's plan all along; it was what actually brought me to my knees and accepted Christ. I am thankful for Him, them and all the people that invested in me; especially my mom. This blog post is for all the mothers, mainly those single mothers raising men.      After the not so pleasant memories in my early years, my “first” memories were of my mom working two jobs, one at Publix and another at a restaurant (don’t remember the name). However, I do remember that she would leave early and not come back until late at night dressed in her cashier un...

Documentary: "Hugo Blanco, río profundo"

Written by Emilio Salaverry      Today I watched the documentary on Hugo Blanco. I have heard a lot about Hugo Blanco, but never read or watch anything in-depth. Honestly, I was fascinated by his life and struggle. Blanco was a community leader that organized peasant farmers to fight for their right and take back land from the wealthy. Just to be clear, I do not pretend to be an expert on his life, but I wanted to share some thoughts about his philosophy and ideology. There are four aspects I am going to focus on; his commitment to organization of the people, him being blacklisted by the Peruvian government and Sendero Luminoso, the new language he preached after Mexico and the differences between him and Sendero Luminoso.       Blanco believed the path to real change was organizing the farming communities into one powerful unit. In fact, he did not believe in having one person to represent the people or community; he said t...

Trujillo: Top 4 menús in the city of eternal spring

Emilio Salaverry A day spent surfing in nearby Huanchaco and roaming the grounds of Chan Chan can work up quite a hunger. Get some dining tips from a local Trujillano! Menús are a part of everyday life in Peru. It doesn't matter if you're a tourist back packing around Peru on a budget or an expat working in Miraflores – you've seen those blackboards with florescent colors advertising a daily lunch menú or, for the fancier menús, a whiteboard with red or black ink. If you are a menú lover then you've drank out of those huge buckets full of  refrescos , sat at tables where your legs can't fit and you have to sit in an awkward angle, used those really thin napkins that tear at the first swipe or probably have tried the spiciest ají ever. In Trujillo, just like every other city in Peru, you will find a variation of menus. Lunch in the eternal city of spring could cost you anywhere from 6 to 15 soles depending on the restaurant. After living in Trujil...
