Social Media Management
Today, social media is more important than ever. However, most businesses lack the time and/or resources needed to effectively build, and manage a social media strategy that yields success.
At C0MPLÉX1, we offer social media management services to accommodate the various needs of the diverse set of clients we work with. We can customize any social media plan to fit your industry, budget, and time.
Why Social Media Matters in Online Marketing
As a business, you may wonder what the implications are behind having a social media management strategy in place. Namely, one of the common questions we come across is, “How will my involvement in social media impact my business? Is it worth the time to put a plan into place?”
The answer is, “Yes”. Social networking sites have evolved over the years, and are now being used effectively by countless businesses to explore different networking relationships as well as build trust, engagement and act (in many cases) as a local resource for credible information.
In the online marketing realm, social media is a way to navigate somewhat complex issues, find out what customers are saying about your brand, and learn valuable feedback that can help you grow your business.
Example#1 : Automotive
A local auto mechanic knows it should have a social media presence but doesn’t due to lack of time and limited knowledge. After meeting with the owner, we are able to put together a comprehensive social media calendar to help create targeted content for specific social media channels on an ongoing, monthly basis. We research the industry, speak to the owner about about what type of content would be best to share, come up with a tangible list of KPIs, and implement a daily/weekly/monthly plan based on need/budget.
Example #2: Medical
A family therapist is expanding her business to two separate locations, and she’d like to establish a social media presence for both to help disperse information and news about her practice as well as interact with her target demographic. She has some knowledge of social media but needs direction to help her plan and execute a campaign. She also knows that she will need someone to manage it. We meet with the owner, refine her social media management goals, and put together two separate social media campaigns – one for each location. With this, we include graphics to be used in both social media campaigns to give each location a unique feel/look while maintaining brand consistency. A social media calendar is created and shared with the client to show what types of information will be shared on which social channels on specific days.
Example #3: B2B
A manufacturing company sells gates, fences, & other related equipment to suppliers throughout the country. Like many other businesses, they are cognizant of the fact that they should have a social media presence, and had set up a Facebook and Twitter page. However, neither of these pages have been updated in months. They want to be educated and presented with tangibles so that they can eventually (and more effectively) manage their online social media accounts. We meet with client and present a simple-to-understand social media marketing plan that incorporates the use of their current social media channels while introducing other integrative aspects. One aspect is the idea of B2B visual storytelling in which we show how the gates are made by workers at the factory location, then to production, and finally installed on the property of the business owner and/or individual.
