How do you start a social media campaign?

by | Aug 3, 2011 | Social Media Marketing

Many people ask the question on how they can start a social media campaign for their business.  Where do you start?  Do you create a Twitter profile? A Facebook Fan Page? A dedicated YouTube channel? Even though these are very good Web 2.0 channels, never start a social media campaign by just creating your profiles with no plan behind it.

The first step for any business starting with a social media campaign is to know what is currently being said about them online.  How does your customers feel about your brand? Are there any discussions about your brand already happening online? What are your competitors up to? Do they already have a social media presence?

A wide range of social media monitoring tools are available that you can use to respond to complaints within a couple of minutes after the complaint has been posted. By actively monitoring social media inside your company can increase your reputation and enhance your credibility to helping customers. By reacting quickly to criticism you are more likely to convert complaints into product sales.

Conversations are happening online in all kinds of places. It’s important to understand how to get in there, and how to listen where the conversations are happening.
