Our Process
How Will Your Paid Social Strategy Deliver You A Return On Investment
Step 1 Health Checks
The first step in our comprehensive social media advertising strategy is to audit existing accounts determining your current activity and strategies. We will also examine your main competitor’s channels to learn how they are using the different social media platforms. During this stage, we also ensure that all of your social accounts and profiles are set up correctly and have a consistent brand message going forward.
Step 2 Consultancy
Once we know your brand we work closely with you to build a strategy for your social media marketing. This is tailored to your company and your goals so you can be sure you get a completely bespoke approach. We encourage you to be actively involved in content posting because no one knows your industry and your business better than you. Our goal is to create campaigns that promote engagement and community interactions because nothing drives potential customers to the unfollow button quicker than endless streams of unimaginative adverts.
Step 3 Monitoring
We will monitor all activity on your profiles and will pre-agree with you who will respond to comments and messages and how they are answered. This is to ensure a consistent tone of voice is heard across the board that reflects your brand values.
Step 4 Advertising
Paid advertising in social media is a valuable tool for reaching your desired audience, this way you can show your products and services to people who are genuinely interested in what you offer. We create advertising campaigns for you that are shown to specific target audiences. With the implementation of the Facebook Pixel to your website, we can build audiences based on where the user is in the sales funnel and remarket accordingly. Incorporating your product catalogue into your Facebook advert account will also allow us to build adverts that instinctively show the user products they have been browsing based on the received pixel data.
Step 5 Reporting
We will analyse all of the social media activity both paid and non-paid to keep up to date on all activity. This is one of the most important factors, not being able to interpret the data correctly could mean missed opportunities and potential overspending on poorly performing adverts. We will share all reports with you and discuss them at our consultation meetings.
Step 6 Cross-Channel Promotion
Something we believe strongly in is cross-channel promotion. It is so essential that messages being sent across all mediums are consistent and show the same brand values. We ensure social media activity, print ads, email marketing and web offers are all compatible and sell the same message.
