Social media campaigns may be a very effective way to increase revenue. However, creating a successful campaign depends on the marketer’s understanding, which includes not just the fundamentals of advertising but also the fundamentals of social media. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all method for getting the most out of social media marketing, there are certain basic concepts that may help most organizations improve campaign success.
Engagement is critical for a company’s growth and capitalization. To convert followers into loyal consumers, it is vital to keep them interested and invested in a business.
The following are some excellent practices to keep in mind while creating social media campaigns:
Posting on a regular interval
Audiences are always eager for new and entertaining content on social media, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As a result, posting information on a frequent basis is essential. If a brand does not post content on a regular basis, its number of followers will dwindle, and its engagement rate will plummet. Posting real-time updates, such as Instagram stories, Facebook live-streaming, and live-tweeting, is another technique to make a brand’s social media account appear active.
To strengthen their relevance and up-to-date branding, firms could post real-time events and holidays in addition to posting on a daily basis. While significant holidays should be prioritized, dates that are relevant and associated with the brand should also be considered while posting. This will assist in gaining momentum with a particular target audience.
Boost your posts
According to a survey, less than 10% of Facebook followers may see a brand’s post in their news feed organically. As a result, marketers should boost or promote posts on various social media sites to raise their visibility to their target audience. To target the post, a certain audience group can be chosen based on geographical location, age, gender, and other factors. Boosted posts improve post engagement, resulting in more likes, comments, and shares, as well as increased brand exposure.
Use of relevant imagery
People respond best to visuals, according to a study, since they recall 80 percent of what they see. As a result, a brand’s images must be high-resolution and non-copyrighted in order to appear new and relevant. The creative’s should also be properly scaled to meet the needs of various platforms. A high-resolution image may appear pixelated due to poor sizing. For creatives used to run social media advertising or boost posts, brands should follow the 20% text rule. One thing to keep in mind if you want to make a big impression is to incorporate videos—especially with ads! On social media, videos outperform static images 9 times out of 10. Just make sure that the videos, with or without sound, deliver the same information.
On social media, errors in visual quality or sizing have a detrimental impact on a brand’s reliability, resulting in a loss of followers and a poor sales rate.
Ads that increase conversions
Conversion advertisements are adverts that are targeted to the people who are most likely to click and get converted on a brand’s website. When companies want to track sales or lead form completions on their website, this type of campaign works well. The ability to track a conversion effort is also advantageous. Everything can be tracked, from video views to interaction to clicks and eventually sales.
Filtered and funneled audiences can be created using this information. This information enables a company to target particular adverts to specific audiences and move them along the sales funnel until they convert. Unlike traditional marketing, social media conversion campaigns enable businesses to track their customers’ progress and monitor their marketing efforts.
In a digital marketing plan, a social media campaign should be a collection of several tactics or activities that fit and operate together. A brand’s success on social media will be determined by its ability to communicate the right message to the right people.
