Ok, so how do you, as a company, make use of Social Media Marketing. This post is going to be all about Social Media Marketing for Companies and things I have learnt that may be helpful to you as a novice with no experience under your belt. Do not worry we will get you through the maze that isSocial Media Marketing for Companies or alternatively, you can employ us to do it for you.

We recently attended the Social Media World Forum and were resoundingly disappointed. We were so disappointed because with a title such as that, we were expecting to pick up a few gems of Social Media Marketing Information. As individuals who resoundingly love our Social Media we do not classify ourselves as experts, indeed, it really should be wrong of anyone to do that, as the subject is ever moving and you cannot possibly hope to know everything. So what did we find there. We found lots of companies all selling the same sort of monitoring product (which can be done yourself with a bit of effort) but, none of them had any decent literature or were prepared to engage with us as a customer/consumer. Ironic really for a Social Media Marketing event.Upon reflection and circumspection, we thought about if we were beginners knowing that we had to get our company using Social Media what would we need to know.

  • Social Media Marketing for Companies requires you to open an account in all the media you require to be present in, do this immediately. Take hold of your real estate and don’t let anyone take your names or brand.
  • Make sure that you define exactly what you need to achieve from your efforts.
  • Understand clearly that you will have to invest, this will be your staff training and ongoing time involved in monitoring and marketing your brand or company.
  • Get underway, get your feet wet, start looking for people, use the platforms to find people and communicate with them. You have to build a relationship, be a person, definitely do not sell.
  • Once underway, make yourself visible by sharing and posting unique, relevant information that people in your field may find interesting or helpful, making sure you create blogs on your website with new information that you and your followers can share. Offer competitions to keep people interested.
  • Monitor the results of your efforts, not just by numbers of followers, but by a measure you set up in your planning, ie new sales, leads, phone calls or web traffic, etc.
  • Keep going with your Social Media Marketing for your Company.
  • Read as much as you can, listen to as much as you can in the field of Social Media Marketing, what you will find is that a lot of people claim to know a lot but know very little, and with a little help you can be doing Social Media Marketing with effectiveness and great results.

If you find the whole thing too daunting and need help why not give us a call. we can support your company and would love to help you find your feet and get you underway and enjoying the new world of Social Media Marketing.
