Common Social Media Mistakes Businesses Make
With its ever-growing popularity among users of all ages, it’s no wonder businesses take advantage of social media for brand promotion and customer interaction. However, there is a right and wrong way to use this important marketing strategy. These are some common social media mistakes to watch out for:
Not Optimized for the Correct Platforms
While it’s a popular idea to utilize a variety of social media platforms, it is not wise to use the same updates on each one. Users of specific social platforms have different expectations about the information they see. Crafting unique, custom-designed content on each platform will draw viewers and increase your chances of success on each type of social network. Facebook users prefer videos, while Twitter followers like short, newsy text.
Unclear Objectives
Determining exactly what your goals are for the current year (and beyond) applies to both your business and the use of social media. Random updates serve no real purpose.
It’s essential to increase your audience and stimulate interest in your company. Decide how you want to utilize your social media budget, track engagement, align social media output to business goals and ROI, and how you define the success of a campaign.
Irrelevant Content
It is necessary to highlight your brand, but are you offering value at the same time? Not all social media users buy from these forums. Instead, they want interaction and engagement.
Content that focuses on videos, infographics, and blog posts offers the value that consumers expect and want. The subject matter that induces emotion is more effective than straight sales copy. Initiate two-way conversation to improve conversion rates and improve brand awareness and image.
