With consumers spending around two hours daily on social media, it will ramp up your brand awareness by maximising your target market reach, telling them that your business is thriving and wired for communication.
Visual appeal: Increases the likelihood of people engaging with your content.
Hashtags: For maximum exposure and engagement—keep them relevant to your niche and industry.
Content/posts: People respond to and follow quality, well-timed content which will build your brand and follower base. Don’t over-post or post for posting’s sake as this has a negative effect.
Lead generation: That all-important entry to your sales funnel.
Remember: 93% of buying choices come from social media.
Why? It’s a highly visual platform—a real eye-grabber. Generally aimed at and attracting a younger audience, Instagram’s reach is not just US-centric—it’s global.
Remember: With over 1m companies advertising on this platform, Instagram's an ideal tool to boost visibility.
A stand-alone business page will drive traffic to your website, but to work well it must be supported by paid advertising. FB also allows you to manage multiple campaigns.
Remember: Facebook advertising is cheap and highly effective.
This fast-paced social marketing platform helps you to build a following quickly and easily by engaging directly with your target market—following the right people, and starting and contributing to industry conversations (Twitter chats).
Remember: The video capability allows you to record and upload videos of up to 140 seconds.
Another lead generator populated by professionals—575m of them, with an advertising capability, sponsored content, in-mail and text ads, and a campaign manager to help you manage your ads.
Remember: LinkedIn helps you drive actions that are relevant to your business.
Invest in creating the right impression as it’s this that hooks initial attention.

Remember: When it comes to social media marketing, looking good isn't shallow—it really matters.
Create a business biography that's compelling—interesting, informative and tailored to the channels’ character counts, demographics and audiences. Be clear, concise and business-focused—geared to drive initial interest into action. Impress your audience and they will believe that your presence will bolster their content and feed. Include a link.
Remember: It’s not about YOU—leave this to personal social accounts.
Even if you have reams of gripping content, too much kills engagement, numbing people to your presence. Quality content and prime-time posting reap bigger dividends—and this varies for each social media platform, so you will need to bone up on this, too.
