Social media marketing for solving customer problems in real time
To keep it simple, social media marketing refers to the process of using various social media platforms to engage with users and followers, with the scope of gaining additional website traffic and brand awareness, that later on converts in sales of products.
In straightforward terms, social media marketing can be seen as all marketing activities taking place on websites that provide different social events to their users.
For example, the Facebook social networking site that allows its users to share status updates, photos, create and join events and much more, while Twitter is a social media platform explicitly designed to let its users post short updates in the form of messages.
Social media marketing is not all about into the discovery of new content such as news stories, but also about building content that results in relevant links that can further support your company’s overall SEO efforts.
Most consumers that perform searches on social media sites will find your social media content and in return engage more with your website and e-commerce platform, and consequently drive more traffic and more sales.
Social media marketing can also have a substantial positive impact on the relevancy of your overall search results, either within that particular social media platform or across all available search engines.
While social media marketing might sound easy, coming from the mouth of the young generation that spends all day online, in reality, social media marketing is a real art of promoting your business, that requires significant time to research, test and trial, before it reaches its full potential.

Before our experts begin creating a social media marketing campaign for your brand, they will assess your long-term business’s goals.
Creating a social media marketing campaign without the proper understanding of your company’s ethos, aim, and objectives is a failed strategy even before it starts.
That is why, when you call us asking for help with your social media marketing strategy and campaigns, be prepared to answer the following questions our experts might ask:
- What is your company looking to achieve through the use of social media marketing?
- Who is the consumer segment you are targeting for with your social media marketing campaigns?
- What kind of strategic communication message do you want to send to your consumer segment via the social media marketing campaigns?
While the above questions might sound irrelevant, they are critical to understanding what your goal is, and who you are seeking to target as your consumer segment for your products.
For example, if your company sells fashion products, given their very visual nature, with the use of Instagram and Pinterest, you can get a lot of value if the right age segment is targeted with the right products.
On the other hand, most business-to-business companies should get better ROI by promoting via Twitter and Linkedin.
Social media marketing to create & retains brand identity and consistency
Once these simple criteria are implemented and respected, all social media marketing campaigns will help with the following goals:
- Increase website traffic thanks to the fast-growing number of social media followers
- Raise brand awareness fast, as the social media marketing campaigns often target influencers and their followers
- Create a positive brand identity and more brand associations with relevant, vital players
- Improve the brand communication strategy by interacting with key audiences
It is also important to know is that once a social media marketing campaign starts, it must keep it going as the bigger your network of followers gets, the more engaged they are, and that leads to faster ROI and shorter times to deliver on the company’s marketing goals.
A well-designed and implemented social media marketing campaign can deliver a consistent brand image across each social media platform, according to their unique environment.
As such you company retains its core identity and consistency.
Also, it allows your company to track the movements of key competitors, which in return can provide valuable data for SEO, via keyword research and other critical insights.
Finally, it allows for data measuring with analytics and determines the success of your social media marketing campaigns, when it matters the most.
