Social Media Marketing Process
Social Media Platforms
While Facebook users have declined for the first time since conception, Facebook is still the front runner for social media marketing. Facebook marketing may include content strategy on pages and groups, event marketing, Facebook ads and live video.
Twitter is a front runner for media publishing and engagement. If you want to hear the latest news on just about anything, turn to Twitter. And, because of the ease Twitter offers to engage with customers, it is an ideal platform if you're interested in using social for customer service.
Instagram continues to grow steadily and is used largely by millennials who make up 1/4 of the US population and yield 1.3 trillion in buying power*. Every platform begs a unique content strategy and done well, Instagram can be the catalyst for marked business growth, especially in the millennial market.
Interestingly, millennials use Pinterest as much as they use Instagram so it is still a behemoth not to be left out of the strategy, especially if your target market is largely women and you are a product based business. A large percentage of users state that they have purchased products through Pinterest.
LinkedIn is an excellent platform for B2B marketing. It is underutilized, but a very powerful for personal branding, building strategic partnerships and finding clients through content posting, LinkedIn ads, LinkedIn publishing, groups and more.
YouTube
YouTube Marketing is the 2nd largest search engine in the world and an unfathomable amount of time is spent on the web consuming video content. A brand would be remiss to not include YouTube Marketing in their overall strategy to drive traffic, create brand awareness and build an engaged community.
