Empower Your Brand With Customised Social Media Strategies

Absolutely! With the right strategies in place, social media marketing can be a game-changer for small businesses. Here’s how.

Take budgets, for instance. Social media marketing can bring tangible results even on small budgets, allowing small businesses to effectively compete with established brands.

Similarly, with 4.9 billion active social media users, small businesses can effectively expand their reach and gain unparalleled exposure.

Social media platforms allow businesses to interact with their audience using a range of content types. These could be text-based ads, video content, educational how-to content and more. Small businesses can interactively engage with their audience, instilling greater trust and credibility.

Zeal Digital specialises in creating cost-effective social media marketing campaigns that maximise your budget’s impact while achieving your desired objectives.

With how frequently posts and videos pop up on our social media feeds, it can feel like social media content is quite straightforward. However, managing social media advertisement is a highly specialised, critical and time-consuming process that involves,

• Understanding and picking the right platform or channel
• Forming a campaign strategy, designing creatives (videos, images, & content)
• Configuring audience profiles
• Identifying and targeting the right audience
• Allocating and managing budgets
• Scheduling the ads
• Monitoring and optimisation
• Reporting 
• Compliance
• A/B testing

While it is possible to learn all aspects of social media ad making, optimisation, and campaign management, self-managing can be highly time-consuming, especially for beginners.

Understanding your audience is paramount when it comes to effective advertising. Without insights into demographics, interests, behaviours and other crucial factors, your ads might

reach people who don’t want or need your products or services. Here’s an example of audience targeting for a women’s clothing brand.

Effective Example	Ineffective Example
Age: Primarily women aged 18 to 45.	A diverse audience comprising individuals of all genders above 18.
Gender: Female.
Income: Middle to high income.
Location: Urban and suburban areas.
Education: Varied, but likely some college education or higher.
Occupation: Diverse, including professionals, students, and homemakers.

Powerful tactics that help with audience targeting include creating custom audiences, audience personas and lookalike audiences. This step is essential to ensure your ad spend is invested in reaching the right people. When businesses understand their audience well, they increase both their ad campaigns’ effectiveness and return on investment through effective audience targeting.

Social media has significantly transformed brand shopping experience. For instance, algorithms track customer interests and preferences, and based on these, they suggest new brands and products. This streamlines the discovery phase, ensuring consumers find products or services they genuinely care about.

Data-driven insights also enable brands to offer highly personalised shopping experiences. For example, if a consumer shows an interest in sustainable fashion. In that case, a clothing brand can use that information to direct the consumer to a landing page that showcases their collection of sustainably sourced, eco-friendly clothing.

Social media also encourages engagement through interactive content. For instance, shoppers can engage with brands, ask questions, provide feedback, complete surveys, seek real-time help, and so much more! This interaction humanises brands and builds transparency, trust and loyalty.

At Zeal Digital, we integrate social commerce strategies to facilitate a seamless shopping experience, from product discovery to purchase on various social media platforms.

Social media engagement needs to be tracked as it can provide invaluable insight into the success of your campaigns and a deeper understanding of your audience. The data gathered also forms the basis for refinements in your content strategy. Some of the metrics businesses use to measure their social media engagement include

Likes and Follower Count: This one’s quite simple. Evolution in your brand’s presence depends on the quality of your content and its ability to grow your brand’s visibility. So, the more followers you have and the more ‘likes’ your content gets, the more popular your brand becomes. And this increasing popularity intrigues others, prompting them to check out your products and services.

Shares and Retweets: When you post content your audience finds valuable, informative or engaging, they will react by sharing or retweeting that content. Tracking changes in these

metrics can also help you understand what content is or isn’t working for you. It will also help you see the exposure your brand is garnering.

Comments and Replies: Sometimes, simply measuring ‘likes’ and shares is not enough. When you want to engage your audience at a deeper level, you need to start conversations. Monitoring how many comments and replies your posts receive and replying to your audience’s messages will help you gauge and increase the level of interaction and conversation around your content.

Click-Through Rate (CTR): CTR measures how often users click links within your posts. A high CTR indicates your content resonated with your target audience and encouraged them to take action.

Engagement Rate: This metric combines likes, shares, comments, and other interactions to provide an overall engagement percentage. The greater the engagement rate, the more effective your brand’s content is in fostering connections with your target audience.

Sentiment Analysis: Sentiment analysis tools help identify the sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral) expressed in comments and mentions. This can help you understand your audience’s emotional response to your content. This data will also help you understand how to tweak your content so that the sentiment stays positive.

Conversion Rate: If your social media strategy includes specific calls to action, tracking conversion rates (social media referrals, sign-ups, purchases, etc.) is essential. This data will provide you with insights into the effectiveness of your social media strategy and its impact on your business goals. This data will also help guide strategic decisions.

Mentions and Hashtags: Specific hashtags will help you monitor how often your brand is mentioned or associated with. This can help you assess brand awareness and the effectiveness of your campaigns. With this data, you can tailor your content and engagement strategies to consistently engage your audience more meaningfully and contribute to growing brand loyalty.

Response Time: Quick response times to customer inquiries and comments on social media can enhance user satisfaction and indicate your brand’s commitment to customer satisfaction.

Even if you have a dissatisfied customer, by responding promptly, you can turn them into loyal customers. Quick response times and better customer experiences also have the potential to convince consumers unfamiliar with your brand to invest in your products or services.

Audience Growth Rate: This is the rate at which your social media audience is growing. A steady, healthy growth rate indicates an increasing interest in your brand. Collecting and analysing this data will help you identify what content, strategies or campaigns contribute most to attracting new followers. When you know what’s working, it’s easy to replicate successful approaches.
