What is Social Media Marketing And Why Do I Need it For My Business?

To help you understand the importance of using professional social media marketing services, let’s start with the basics.

Social media marketing is essentially the process of using social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, to establish a strong online presence for a brand, promote brand awareness, connect with more prospective customers, and subsequently drive more sales. It is a powerful marketing tool in the current scenario, as more than 90% of the world spends a significant amount of time scrolling through popular channels. Hence it only makes sense for a brand to use the channels to drive revenue.

Here are some reasons why you should use it.

Social media marketing is a more cost-effective way for brands, especially small businesses to reach out to more customers and increase reach, without breaking the bank. Most of the popular social media channels used these days provide very affordable ways to showcase your products and services to a wider audience, apart from making a full-blown platform available for you for free. At the base level, these platforms let you be seen across an array of locations organically as well, without having to spend anything extra.

As mentioned earlier, social media channels are a means for your customers to have direct conversations with you. It helps them see the human elements of a brand, which assures them of genuineness and hence allows them to trust you. Multiple social media attributes will help you engage in conversations with your followers and build meaningful relationships. The key is to use these attributes in the best possible ways and reap benefits. Social media marketing services will help you share more relatable content and sustain solid customer relationships thereby improving trust and credibility in the long run.

Search engines like Google and Bing have started including social media updates, tweets, and profiles in their results pages for relevant search queries. This is done to increase social interaction and also help promote better brand-customer relationships. High-engagement posts have a very high chance to appear on search engine rankings. This means, the more your posts are shared across channels and interacted with, the higher your chances of being ranked. Intelligent social media marketing services can help you achieve this with ease.

Marketing through social media channels allows you to see valuable insights about the people that are watching and engaging with your content. With these insights, you can channel your efforts to a more specific range of people, more in line with your ideal buyer persona. This means you can segment your audience and target the right people using filter tools like age, gender, interests, and other demographics. With these, you get to make your products and services available to the right people at the right times through social media marketing strategies and thereby improve your chances to make a sale.

The Right Way to Market Your Brand on Social Media

A majority of individuals in the world have a social media presence, and almost 100% of brands have at least one social media channel. Everyone uses it and some even monetize it. Yet, no one has completely figured out how it works.

We at DM360 have certified social media algorithm experts who are well-versed in the logic behind each algorithm. As a dynamic social media marketing agency in Chicago we also keep ourselves updated with the latest algorithm changes so that we can figure out the best ways to market in conjunction with the changes.

Every social media success story starts with a winning social media marketing strategy. Without a proper understanding of the target audience and a detailed plan to appeal to the audience, you are most certainly not going to get the benefits.

Our Social Media Marketing Services Are For Everyone

In the age of social media, companies must be available, responsive, and transparent with customers, given the close-knit nature of channels like Instagram and Facebook. Unlike in the 90s, where one-way advertisements would have worked wonders, now, people need more insight into everything about a brand including the making of products, use of products and services, brand work culture, and more. These elements help establish trust and credibility in the minds of users, which in turn reflects in the form of loyalty and long-term relationships.

Hence it is very important for companies now to embrace trends, create consistent content and be available for interaction with customers throughout the day. This would be quite difficult for a brand to manage single-handedly.

That is why DM360 offers services of social media marketing in Chicago to help brands establish their online presence, build relationships and achieve wholesome growth in a hassle-free way.

Owing to ever-changing algorithms on social media, it is quite difficult for brands to attain enough organic reach for many of their brand posts. While some of them may make it to a wider audience, some posts may not get the attention they deserve. To offset this imbalance and to make sure brands receive the recognition they deserve on the posts they worked hard on, DM360 offers effective social media advertising services. Through this, we help brands reach out to a more targeted group of customers and allow the content to get to the people that need it, leading to sure-fire conversions and relevant following. This also helps build a base of insights that we can use for future improvements.

Social media is very demanding of a brand’s time and effort. To stay on the good side of the algorithm and be visible to a fair amount of relevant people, you HAVE to churn out high-quality content, interact with the audience, and be consistent with your efforts every single day. You also need to interact with your audience through multiple other ways. As mentioned earlier, this may turn out to be very difficult, especially for an up-and-coming brand, given that there are multiple channels to work on too. To combat this issue, DM360 offers efficient and reliable social media management services, where our team will study your brand, create relevant content, post them across channels, and engage with your followers daily.

A lot of companies make the mistake of copying trends blindly and putting out content just to beat the algorithm. However, this could not be more destructive for your brand. Effective social media marketing is all about building a brand through relevant content. This means that the content is not exclusive to the brand and needs to reflect the brand’s persona in every way. This is where social media brand management finds its relevance. We at DM360 make it our mission to analyze your brand, determine your brand voice and consistently create content that matches your brand voice. We take care of everything from branding to content creation to management for all your posts across channels through customized social media marketing services.

Social media, needless to say, is a very powerful tool that has the potential to make your brand go viral and help you grow by leaps and bounds. At the same time, it is also a toxic place to be in, if not used in the right ways. This is precisely why you need a solid social media marketing strategy for all your active platforms. A great strategy will take into consideration your brand voice, the preferences and behavioral attributes of your target audience, and proven-effective best practices on each social media channel. We at DM360 provide thoughtfully created strategies that would help brands make the most of their active communities and use the traction to generate more revenue and more sales.

The advent of social media has inadvertently led to the emergence of social media influencers and in turn influencer marketing. For a brand, these influencers are very effective tools to reach out to more relevant people and earn trust. The followers of these content creators love hearing about new products and services from them and trust the brands they recommend to be good ones. This essentially means that influencers vouch for your brand and encourage people to be your customers. Every brand can benefit greatly from influencer marketing if done the right way. And that is why we offer full-blown services in the same. We take care of everything from researching relevant content creators, reaching out to them, and preparing review packages for them.

Sometimes, the best of your efforts in creating content and sharing valuable information on social media can go in vain. You may not attain the reach and engagement you expected your content to generate. And this could be due to a myriad of reasons including changes in the algorithm, incorrect use of keywords, improper use of hashtags, or other technical issues like video and picture quality. Our social media audit services can help you find out what the real issue is and turn it to your advantage. Our team will analyze your entire social media presence and determine the elements that might be holding you back from getting the best results so that you can set things right and improve the outcome.

Digital Marketing Vs. Social Media Marketing – The Right Way To Go?

People often mistake digital marketing services and social media marketing services to be the same thing. However, the truth is that digital marketing is a more comprehensive term that includes social media marketing. In other words, social media marketing is a kind of digital marketing service that focuses on promoting brand awareness through social media platforms.

Hence, the right way to go is to use both techniques appropriately.

Digital marketing services include strategies that can be used on other online channels as well, including your website, search engine results pages, and email. Social media marketing services include techniques used on social platforms alone. However, it would be worthwhile to note here that online success comes from complementary techniques used across digital channels.

Every brand inevitably needs promotional strategies on all avenues. An effective online presence fulfills best practices on all online platforms including social media channels.

Hence, success is not about choosing either digital marketing or social media marketing. It is about utilizing combined efforts to convey your messages effectively to the target audience and making sure your product and service solutions reach them, irrespective of the channels.

For some channels, posting daily will bring better results, while for some channels you can post content twice or thrice in a week. However, consistency is extremely important across all channels. As for the time, you will need to figure out the times at which your target audience is most active. Our expert social media marketers will help you figure out these aspects and map out a detailed social media plan for you, according to which you can post content on all your active channels.

How soon can I expect to see results?

Social media is a place where you will be able to see quick results. A properly implemented, effective social media strategy can start showing results in a week. However, we may have to fine-tune the plan according to the results. You will be able to see a solid increase in followers and engagement in a month.

How much should I spend on social media marketing?

The effectiveness of social media advertising depends on the amount you can feasibly set aside as your marketing budget. However, being social media, this budget need not be a big amount. You can always choose to invest in smaller ad spends, see how they perform, and graduate to bigger budgets that are more streamlined and targeted.

What is the difference between a regular post and an ad post?

A regular post on social media, irrespective of the channel, appears on the feed of your followers and the general public as well depending on the niche and the engagement level received on the post, organically. This means it is not promoted by the channel or shown to more users unless it naturally gains reach. An ad post on the other hand is a paid form of content that is pushed by the channel and shown to more people, depending on the ad budget we set, the audience demographics we choose, and other details. This is more in the control of the creator and ensures that the content reaches the ideal customer group.

What is the cost of your social media marketing services?
