3 Laws of Social Media Marketing

Social media is a powerful tool for boosting your brand’s awareness and driving consumers/customers to take action. To execute a successful social media campaign, it is vital that you understand the following fundamentals:

1. Focus on Value

There is a common misconception that businesses should only promote their products and services on social media. The problem with employing this promotional strategy is that eventually people will stop listening. Social media is all about the conversations, and to be successful, you must add value to them. Focus on creating amazing content that will connect and resonate with your target audience.

2. Always listen

Listening is one of the most important aspects when managing a business’/brand’s social media presence. Success on social media will require less talking and more listening. Find out what members of your target audience are sharing online. Listen for their pain points, their likes and their dislikes, and what is most important to them. This is how you will create engaging content and add value to the conversations.  

3. Be patient

Social media success will not happen overnight. To achieve real results, it will require dedication, consistency and patience.
