Why Social Media Marketing?

There can be a number of reasons which can be penned down. Let us be realistic and understand the top 10 reasons for Social Media Marketing.

1. Encourage Engagement

Social media marketing is about using the right methods to engage with your target audience on social media platforms. The main purpose is to get organic traffic to your profile. Social Media platforms work on their own algorithms and show you the relevant posts. To me, Instagram is a very powerful tool for encouraging engagement. You can either generate a quiz, ask questions, use hashtags, etc in order to engage your targetted audience.

2. Brand Building

Displaying your business personality through social media is one of the best ways to connect with your target audience. Your social media channels are just expanded opportunities for your brand’s voice, content, and interactions. You can get more & more new customers from social media branding. Build your branding and get high sales. Also, you should understand the Top 10 Reasons To Buy A Website.

3.Reach

Your brand can reach to the target audience by default due to Instagram’s algorithm. Use the right hashtags and post your product or service regularly. Posting your content regularly will automatically increase your reach, to be precise organic reach. Based on the repetitive impression it will help to influence your audience to follow you. For instance, you are posting about biryani and based on your audience behavior it will reach the right profiles.

4. Audience Interaction

Post Content such that your audience interacts with you. Undoubtedly it should be two-way interaction. If you want to increase social media engagement, you need to create content that people can engage with. Not only they should comment but also you should respond to the comment. You can run a campaign and ask your audience to tag their friends and follow your account.

5.Conversion

Apart from brand building Social Media Marketing helps you to increase your conversions. Conversion is basically an action performed by your audience. Please remember the basic relationship between sales and conversation- Higher the traffic higher the conversion. Hence you need to generate higher traffic in order to increase your conversion.

6.Inbound Traffic

Social media helps you to increase your inbound traffic. People buy what they see, and always hungry to try new things. Social Media Marketing of Tiktok is remarkable. Entire youth, except me, is using TikTok. You will be surprised to know that election campaigns are using it too for getting votes.

Without social media, your leads are limited to people who are familiar with your brand and people who find you by searching ranked keywords. By increasing your social media content frequency and expanding your social media channel presence, you are influencing people to use your service.

7. Targetted Audience

Social media is a long term approach, and you won’t be reaping these benefits overnight. It helps you to target your audience. Most of the people these days follow and rely on influence on social media. Based on the interactions and reviews you can set your target based on the location or behaviors

8.Remarketing

It helps you to remarket your products and services to the old audience. There are times when people visit your website just to compare the prices or services. Such an audience can be targeted using a remarketing feature. Facebook pixels help to track the behavior of your audience which are targeted for your next campaign.

9.New product announcement

As mentioned in my earlier post about Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing also helps to launch your new products. Based on your expertise you can launch your product and get fruitful results. If you are a parttime marketer, I wish you good luck because you need proper research before starting a campaign. Undoubtedly, it can backfire you as the first impression could be the last impression. Hence, once again I am suggesting you to use SEMrush for revealing your competitor’s strategy.

10.Budget: ROI

For any organization, ROI is very important because at the end we all have expenses. Social Media Marketing should have a monthly budget based on your ROI. Keeping a budget for social medial marketing will help you to utilize your resources. You might need to spend more initially but gradually you can save money.

Conclusion:

I would like to conclude here as its more than 895 words already 😛 I would love to write more but time doesn’t permit me. Marketing is a very crucial part of any business, especially for new entrepreneurs. But the first step is getting started and don’t look back. Each day is a new opportunity and makes the most of it. Do not give excuses of time, and try to manage your time efficiently.
