If you’re running a small business and posting to your social media accounts on a regular basis you may think that you don’t really need a strategy! But posting for the sake of it with no real direction or clear objective isn’t going to help your business a great deal and all that time and effort you’re putting into your social media could be wasted.
So, here are 5 important reasons why a social media strategy is essential, no matter how small your business and how it can really benefit you.
Using a content calendar is the best way to get organised with your social media posts for the week ahead. A good content calendar contains key dates including awareness days as well as dates that are specifically important to your business, such as new product launches, promotions or when you are publishing blog posts.
For this week’s #SocialMumsHour we’ll be talking all about social media engagement. Increasing your engagement on any social media platform is key to a successful social media strategy. We’ll be sharing tips and tricks as well as looking at what works for you.
Twitter is a great platform for small businesses to connect with a relevant engaged audience. It’s an incredibly social platform and the perfect place to network in your pyjamas!
So what is a Twitter chat?
A Twitter chat is a public conversation on Twitter that uses one unique hashtag which allows you to follow the discussion and participate in it.
This week in the Social Mums’ Members Community we’re running three Live Masterclasses that will take you from Twitter complete beginner to tweeting like a pro.
Each Live Masterclass will last around half an hour and will take you through the different aspects of using Twitter for your Business.
