Tips for Marketing on Social Media

Marketing on social media is one of the best ways to advertise your products or services to potential customers. But if it’s not done correctly it won’t be as effective as it could be. Below are some tips you can use to maximize the effect of your social media marketing.

Timing Is Everything

When you’re marketing a company using social media, it’s important to get the timing right. For instance, your potential customers might be more likely to be online and make an order during a particular time of day. Often, this is later in the day after work. But it will depend on the demographic you’re aiming at.

You should also take into account that people are more likely to buy something closer to the end of the week (when they get paid). Finally, marketing efforts (including the ones on social media) should always be ramped up as the holidays approach.

Blending Email with Social Media

However popular texting has become, people still use email. The vast majority of your customers are going to check their email every day. The best way to take advantage of this is to use social media like Facebook to encourage customers to sign up for your email messages, ads or newsletters. Provide discount coupons and other incentives for those who do sign up.

Choose the Right Sites

Social media sites are not all the same. All of them have their own particular audience, style and purpose. This means that you should tailor your social media marketing campaign so that it focuses on those sites that will actually reach your business’s demographic. For example, Twitter and Pinterest aren’t necessarily going to be the best choice for a dental clinic’s marketing efforts.
