Previously, we talked about how SMM can help small businesses. And now we give advice on how to avoid the main mistakes in the development path and warn about the difficulties.

NO SALES

Many are amazed: the number of subscribers, activity increases, traffic and sales are absent! The truth is that measuring SMM effectiveness by the number of deals is not correct.

Accounts increase brand recognition, create good reputation, stimulate interest in the product.
This is a long-term communication channel.

BYPASSING THE CUSTOMER

ANOTHER CHALLENGE:
Advertising on social networks has not started. In this case, create a portrait of the client in all its details:

- Learn his interests, behavioral characteristics, buying habits

- Segment users and show different ads to different groups

- Test assumptions with a small budget

ONE SOCIAL NETWORK GETS GREAT RESULTS, BUT IN ANOTHER - THE NUMBER OF INDICATORS ARE EQUAL? YOU MAY NOT HAVE A TARGET AUDIENCE IN THIS AREA. THIS ISSUE

YOU WILL NEED TO SOLVE:

refuse this social network or try to attract its users.


COMPLEX PRODUCT

How to advertise PVC pipes on Instagram? Such an issue is relevant for anyone whose product is intended for mass use. Here it will be necessary to find unusual methods of approach.

For example, adjusting ad promotion goals:

1 - BUILD YOUR HR-BRAND WITH THE HELP OF SOCIAL NETWORKS.

Talk about employees, corporates and trainings, publish vacancies.
With this, you will get the professionals faster and easier.

2 - CREATE ASSOCIATION BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SUPPORT SERVICE.

Explain how to use your product or service, share lifehacks. Answer questions promptly — so you can be sure of recommendations and positive feedback.

3 - WORK FOR QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.

Leave an interesting comment for those who research your topic. They will not exactly be indifferent and will be active in commenting.

4 - GREAT SPEED

SMM is a great tool for reputation management.


THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

For example, YouScan, Wobot, Hootsuite allow you to monitor alerts. In Google Alerts, it is possible to subscribe to keywords and receive quotes by email with their alerts.

CLICKBAIT AND SPAM
