Social Media Work
Essentially, social media work involves creating and publishing posts. You may have a schedule you use, or not. The posts may involve a broader theme or be more on a whim (even if you schedule them in advance.) At first, this may seem like a good idea. You’re posting more which is getting your name out there more and it’s fairly inexpensive – especially if you do it yourself.
There are a few problems with this, however. First, although your brand is more active on social media, the posts likely lack cohesion. They may not clearly and correctly promote your brand and your purpose. In addition, posts without a strategy behind them are likely to be shorter lived and give you less mileage. Thus, in the end, it’s costing you time and money rather than enhancing your brand and helping you develop leads.
Social Media Strategy
Social media strategy, on the other hand, provides the same name recognition benefits as social media work, but also adds a lot more value. While posts created without a strategy may fail to accurately portray your brand and your purpose, posts created with a strategy take branding into account each and every time. This includes adding your website and/or logo to posts you create as well as any graphics and written content. In addition, posts shared from a third party source fall within your social media strategy. For example, third party shares may be from businesses you partner with or companies you want to notice you.
On the surface, social media strategy costs more, however, when you factor in the ROI of educating people about your brand and mission along with the brand recognition and leads that generates, it’s a better value for your marketing dollars.
In addition, your social media strategy will drive any social advertising campaigns you create. Whether boosted posts or sponsored ads, each of these will have a direct link back to your strategy and thus provide the best results for your marketing dollars.
When you consider the true value of your marketing dollars, it makes sense to spend the time creating and consistently re-evaluating your social media strategy. At eJenn Solutions, we know each person is at different levels in their business – so we’ve developed different packages.
