How To Create A Social Media Strategy for Your Small Business or Non-Profit Organization

Did you know a good majority of Small Businesses and Non-Profits struggle with using social media and are very frustrated with it?

The business uses of social media is many, and yet only a small percentage of owners, leaders and executives use social media or even try to experiment with adding different platforms, apps or tools into parts of their daily lives. This includes adopting social media as part of their professional networking and implementing it as part of the marketing mix for their business or non-profit organization.

I completely understand and empathize with anyone who feels frustrated, as digital, mobile and social media marketing are constantly advancing and changing all of the time.  There is one critical matter to keep in mind:

"Social Media isn't about you ... it is about your customers!" 

Some of the most frequent comments we hear from business people who have specific goals in using social media, yet are frustrated and struggling with achieving their objectives.

• I don't know what to say or when to post.

• I'm not sure how to follow and join in on conversations.

• There's no benefit. It's a waste of time that I simply do not have!

• I want to improve my performance and have better engagement.

• I want to connect with my customers and build my audience.

• I want to generate leads, make sales and close more business.

• I want to share information and move the message out.

• I want to target specific types of people and customers with my message.

• I want to attract the right customers to my business.

• I want to increase sponsorships and donations.

• Why would anyone care about what I ate for breakfast?

It is important to recognize that while we may not like using social media, 7 out of 10 customers are actively using it to connect with their favourite brands to receive information, specials, offers and customer service via this communication medium.

When I hear these comments, it tells me the person(s) recognize the value and importance of social media, they just aren't sure how to use it effectively to help them achieve their business goals.   

Knowing how to strategically use social media to connect, engage and build relationships with customer audiences has a high return on investment when goals are established and efforts are focused. For this reason, Sweet Spot Academy is here to help individuals and organizations develop a social media strategy for their business or non-profit organization.

I personally invite you to attend 'How to Create a Social Media Strategy for Your Organization" or inquire about private onsite training and consulting services.

Social Media ... It's More Than Just Talking!

Gone are the glory days of social media where our posts had wide spread organic reach with 90% viewership. 

The honeymoon phase is over, and companies are looking to monetize and profit from their investments. We have now entered into the "Pay to Play" spectrum where, in order for our messages to be seen, we are going to have to invest in paid advertising and learn how to leverage the incredible inherent SEO value in using our listings and social posts to show up in search engines and in newsfeed. 

Ultimately, social media platforms are digital advertising companies, no different than the traditional mediums of yesteryear.
