With regard to all the fun and camaraderie social media brings, if you are banking on it performing just that, you won’t be banking the financial reward. Here are my three Ds to drive more leads to you using the social media platform:#1 Define Your Goal. There are seven things social media marketing can do for your business: Enhance branding and awareness, protect your reputation, extend public relations, build community, extend customer service, facilitate research and development and drive sales. You have to define with of those, be it one, three or even all seven, you want to focus on.
#2 Develop Strategies To get you into the game. Let’s say your goal is to drive sales. Build out 3-5 ideas that will help you do that, like, “come up with an offer on Facebook for your Fans in order to keep a relationship going.” Keeping your strategies focused on the goals you’ve listed will keep you focused and prepare you for step 3.
#3 Deliver Measures of Success. Too many people get distracted by social media fun and forget the goals and objectives you’ve laid out for yourself. By maintaining your focus on measuring the goal, not all the other supplemental data that the digital world provides (like fans, followers, comments, etc.), you’re better able to answer the question, “What are we getting out of the effort?” Focus on the goal or goals, not all the metrics that may or may not indicate success.
Focusing on your intended destination and constantly asking yourself how far you’ve gotten to it are very simple ways to shed yourself of the shiny new object and “Look! A squirrel!” syndromes that keep many in the social space from succeeding.
To Your Unlimited Success
