Social Media Marketing
In today's marketing world social media is no longer a nice addition but rather a must. Gone are the days when someone could create a Facebook page and update it weekly then call it a night. There are three major aspects to social media marketing and when done right can lead to great rewards for your brand.
Engaging Your Audience
Today social media is about connecting with your current and potential clients and interacting with them via several social platforms. If your band is not engaging via social media you are well behind the times. Generic posting about your company or brand can get old and causes your audience to get bored. Studies show if you engage your audience they become fans and are more likely to share your content, which will help you reach new customers.
Compelling Content
Engaging is only half the battle when it comes to social. Creating compelling content whether it's articles, videos or graphs can help get your band more attention online. No one will share a video with their friends if the video is bad. In fact they might not even watch the entire video. This is the same for inforgraphs and articles. You have to get their attention and keep it. Social media works best when something goes viral and only compelling content goes viral.
