Having a social profile is not enough when it comes to social marketing. Brands have to make an impression and get noticed.
- Content Creation – Getting prospects attention is not an easy task. You need to constantly produce original, good quality content and present it innovatively every single time. Visuals, graphics, videos, good marketing collateral – everything counts.
- Content Promotion – You cannot wait for your content to reach your target audience magically.

- Developing a successful social media marketing strategy – Any mistake in strategizing your social media marketing plan can jeopardize the whole process. Your campaign can be doomed if your social goals are not integrated current business goals and digital marketing strategy. Goal metrics, frequency for content sharing, keywords, call-to-action, etc; should be all documented beforehand.
- New and ever evolving social platforms – It all started with Bulletin Board Systems then CompuServe, Classmates.com, Friendster, Linkedin, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Snapchat, Instagram and Pinterest and then list goes on and on. These social media networking platforms have been launching and evolving wildly. Companies (B2B and B2C) should always suitably evaluate and strategize before creating social profiles.
- Clicks but no conversions – It is very much possible that after doing everything right, you still don’t get any conversions. Social marketing is a long term effort yet short term goals help you analyze things better.
