We are just in February, and it seems that we have already seen many ups and downs in the social media business landscape. With Facebook, one of the biggest social media platforms, firing over 11 000 employees and Twitter going through a messy phase- social media's future seems uncertain. It has caused many businesses to reevaluate social media marketing strategies.
We are here to help you understand and give you some interesting + valuable insights about social media platforms and why they are still a powerful marketing tool.
It is still one of the best ways to connect with your target audience on a personal level and drive real results out of your digital marketing strategy.
So, why should you add social media marketing to your digital marketing strategy?
Let's explore the three basic and crucial factors:
1. Brand awareness
Let us give you some perspective – there are 4.76 Billion users who spend an average of 2 hours and 31 minutes per day on these platforms. Can you afford to lose out on such a big user base? No, you cannot! It would be best if you focused on building a strong presence and increasing your brand's awareness by building relationships and driving traffic to your website.
2. Real-time user analytics
For people, who love data and data science, real-time user analytics data, such as user interests, behaviors, demographics, etc., can be key components to creating real user personas. These personas can be your building stone for your digital marketing strategy and improve your results over time.
3. Cost-effectiveness
Perhaps most importantly, social media can help you achieve your business goals cost-effectively. While traditional forms of advertising can be ridiculously expensive, social media offers a range of targeting options that allow you to reach the people who are most likely to be interested in your products or services - without breaking the bank.
While many believe that social media is not what it used to be 2-3 years ago and that its inclusion in a digital marketing strategy is no more than mere branding and review management. We can attest that in the upcoming 2023 and forward, with the advent of AI, and metaverse, some exciting things are coming up.
You have to remember that social media marketing isn't a magic bullet - it takes time, effort, and a strategic approach to succeed. But if you are willing to invest time and money, the rewards could be significant and even lift your digital marketing strategy to greater heights.
It is recommended that you consult with a social media marketing company to help you create a holistic and customized digital marketing strategy that fits your company's goals. You can reach out to us via email at info@sntrix.com.
