How to Design a Social Media Campaign to get results


How to set up a social media campaign…..here is a 5 step process of how to deliver?

#1: Assemble a Capable Team of Social Media Experts

Attend a team of Social media marketers who have the specific skills required to achieve your goals such as content generation, writing and editing, photo editing, a little tech know-how, graphic design  and being able to respond in real time.

#2: Plan Your Campaign

Use a plan to establish your campaign’s short-term objectives for each of the social channels you’re using, team assignments, general content ideas you can build on and how you’ll use features of specific platforms (e.g., lists on Twitter or hangouts on Google+).

#3: Choose the Most Effective Platforms

No matter what you hear from different sources, there is no one perfect social media platform to use. What works well for one business may not work well for another.

To choose your primary and secondary networks, think about where your target audience is more likely to spend time online and look at industry benchmarks. Take the time to discover where your target audience hangs out online. When you have the right mix of platforms, your campaign has a better chance at success.

#4: Establish an Editorial Calendar

The main element of social media is content therefore ensure that you have a calendar of engaging content  to achieve streamlines resources, drive internal teamwork and stay focused on the needs of your audience.

#5: Be True to Your Company Voice


When your audience reads and listens to the content you produce, they’re not only hearing your message, they’re hearing the voice of your company—your tone, language and delivery. Each time they hear your brand voice, it’s a good bet they’re subconsciously sizing you up. They’re deciding whether you’re a company they can rely on, and more importantly, do business with.
