Social Media Marketing? Use Your Manners!
That’s right! Manners!
Of all the advertising channels available to you as a marketer, social media can be one of the most beneficial, but also the most difficult to capitalize on.
If you choose to use social media in your online campaign, follow the rules and be consistent.
Otherwise, it can hurt you more than help you.
1. Participate In The Community
You want people to follow you, but you need to be a follower as well. Find other companies and individuals that interest you and follow them. Respond to comments, and initiate relevant conversations. Be polite of course!
2. Nurture Relationships
Social media is about interacting and nurturing relationships with your customers. Being promotional on a social network is a big no no. You want to develop relationships with your followers that keep them faithful, and in turn open up opportunities for more revenue.
3. Be Consistent
Signing in once a month or even once a week is just not enough when it comes to social networking. If you don’t have the time to be consistent or don’t have the money to hire someone, you’re better off opting out of social networks for your business.
It’s Simple Really
If you feel like you can handle the etiquette of social networking, and have the time to login regularly, you should do pretty well on social networks. It takes time to build your own community, but it will be worth it in the long run.
