Social Media Strategy
When smaller, startup brands see the interactions that
the bigger brands are getting, they get overwhelmed with what they need to do
with themselves to keep up with the bigger brands. Social media strategists
struggle to garner followers and interaction on social media when working with
new brands or startups.
Here are 5 basic things that every small brand or
startup can incorporate in their social media strategy to increase followers
and improve actions on their social media channels.

Customer
Support: Like it or not, social media is one of the top, if
not the number 1 tool for customer support. Customer expect to find and reach
out to brands on social media. And it is a great tool to interact with them and
give them the answers they’re looking for.
·
Micro
Influencers: Influencer Marketing has taken social
media by storm where big brands are paying big amounts of money to the
so-called influencers of social media. While influencer come with a big price
tag, one thing that smaller businesses can rely on is micro-influencers. These
are users who have 4-5 figure followers and can be extremely cost-effective and
even free in some cases. Because they are in a growing phase just like you,
they are likely to help you.
·
Promote
Core Values: Any brand should promote its core values
on their social media channels. Whether it is a cause that you are associated
with, a belief that drives your business, the motto of your company or anything
that falls under your core values, you can promote that on your social
channels. This improves brand identification and can get the attention of your target
audience.
·
User-Generated
Content: The power of user-generated content is extremely
high. Campaigns promoting user-generated content should be run every now and
then. What it yields is quality posts for your social media. What it drives is
more actions. Always a good idea to tag a user in a post about them on your
channel
·
Get
Personal: Nothing gets more attention of users on social media
than getting personal. Be a part of conversations on social media and don’t shy
away from using the @ sign to address followers or other users. A healthy
personal social media conversation has a good chance of increasing brand trust
and boosting following and interactions.
