Social media marketing is integral to your business for numerous reasons. It is by advertising on social media platforms that you are more capable of reaching a wider audience, enhancing your online visibility, cultivating awareness of your brand and targeting specific demographics. What’s more, you have a variety of options at your disposal, all of which you can use.
The thing is, however, that all social media platforms differ from one another, so you must decide which of them is best suited to your marketing needs. Identify your advertising goals, decide which platforms you’re going to use and then choose which paid social media advertising features you must consider for your company.
You’re able to work with both images and video content when you advertise on Facebook. Image ads are useful for displaying your products, while video ads help to spread content that is both informative and entertaining. You can also make use of carousel ads, which comprise a block of text and numerous images. These are effective for advertising more than one product, a collection of products, or for telling a story through images. Facebook is also useful for generating leads. Create a lead campaign on the platform, either to direct users to your website or to them to sign up for your services.
Instagram is similar to Facebook in that you can advertise on it with images, videos and carousel ads as well. One thing to remember about video ads on this platform is they begin to play, with or without audio, as soon as users to scroll to them. This means that you can’t rely solely on audio to ensure the ad has an immediate effect. Instagram does have a specific feature that you can also use to your advantage, and that is Instagram Stories. It’s a very popular means of attracting the attention of prospective customers and getting them to click through your services.
Twitter is a social media platform on which you can share content that’s catchy and to the point. It also allows for numerous promotional and advertising opportunities. There’s Twitter Promote Mode, with which you are automatically able to promote the first ten of your daily organic Tweets. This feature is for those marketers who have a substantial amount of content to share every day and who want their reach to increase at an impressive rate.
You also have the option of creating individual Twitter campaigns if you want more control over what you post and if you want to spend less on advertising. As with Facebook and Instagram, Twitter ads can also either be video- or image-based.
Unlike Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, LinkedIn is an exclusively professional networking platform that allows to you get recognised by businesses and people searching for employment. When advertising on LinkedIn you have two options at your disposal. There’s the creation of sponsored posts that incorporate punchy wording and imagery, and there’s InMail message ads, which involves sending a personalised message straight to the inbox of a prospective customer.
There are numerous social media advertising opportunities out there. Other platforms you can use include Spotify, Youtube, SnapChat and Pinterest. No matter your choice, always make sure you have the right objective and target audience in mind. By directing your social media ads towards the right audience and for the right purposes, you’ll have a better chance of increasing awareness of your brand and gaining a steady online following.
