SMM technology is familiar to all of us because we all subscribe to various informational publications, groups, pages of popular newspapers or magazines, favorite brands, and companies on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Almost every well-known publication has its own representation in social networks. Confidence in it increases the check mark at the left above the phrase “Official community,” meaning “verified user,” that is verified directly by the administration.
It is easier to get feedback from the target group through social networks, and they are already adapted for mobile platforms, you do not need to worry about increasing traffic from search engines, as is the case with a regular website.
The main goal is to think up a competent and unique publication that would interest a potential client; it is carried out in the form of an article, image, video, audio. At any time you can chat with the group / public visitors, immediately answer all his questions.
Promoting an online resource using SMM is very effective, especially if you already have a certain audience and search engine rankings. In addition to social networks, blogs, and subject forums are used, where discussions are created using hidden marketing, viral marketing (the target audience distributes advertising on its own).
The advantage of SMM is that the promotion covers only interested users; advertising is used hidden and not annoying. Remember how often you tried to hide annoying banners on thematic resources? There is no such thing in social platforms.
It is important how well you can present the product or service to the community from the good side, to clearly define the essence of the proposal. Significant investments are not required because any social network is already a popular platform.
What social networks most successfully promote the business?
The choice you have is enormous and depends mostly on the geographical location, age of customers, and the image that you create your company. In The USA and the European countries, the most common network is Facebook. Where most of the young, but already quite solvent people are sitting there (if the age of a client guides you from 18 to 30 years old, then you have a direct route there).
Regardless of the country, promotion on Facebook will be successful, especially for large businesses, intellectuals and those with a target audience from Western Europe and the USA.
People will learn about your brand faster not only in western countries but also on the other side of the globe, if your page is in English, Spanish, or any other common foreign language. And the Facebook comment platform is easily integrated into a content management system like WordPress.
A distinctive feature among all social networks is a huge opportunity in the settings of advertising campaigns. Facebook is constantly developing advertising accounts, adding all the new features, and targeting and retargeting features.
If yesterday, advertising in social networks was a tool for brand promotion, today, thanks to Facebook, it is a tool for generating conversions, leads, sales and post-sales.
