Social Media Marketing

​What Is Social Media Marketing?

Social media marketing is a type of digital marketing that uses social media platforms to promote your brand and offerings to your ideal customers. Contrary to popular belief, it involves much more than random posts on your business accounts. An effective social media marketing campaign requires sound strategy and planning.

Once you create your business profiles, you’ll need to maintain and optimize them. Then, you’ll want to develop a content calendar that describes what you’ll post, when you’ll post it and where you’ll post it. Your posts will likely include a combination of text, images, videos and stories that position your brand in a positive light and capture a relevant audience.

In addition to unique, regular posts, you’ll respond to comments, likes and shares to monitor your online reputation and hopefully build a community. Depending on your budget and particular goals, social media marketing might also include paid social ads that allow your brand to appear in front of the right people at the right times.
