RESPONSIBILITIES The following 6 elements are the roadmap to Social marketing success. The Social Media and Communication Manager will master them to design and implement Social campaigns: 1. Clear Objectives. Set realistic goals. It isn t enough to say you see results. Measurement is about more than just results. It must tie back to your objectives. You ll never know your ROI without first setting objectives. 2. Great Design. Visual content has a lasting effect on us humans. Whether it s your status updates, your landing pages or your Facebook ads, what the audience sees is what they ll remember. Make sure it s compelling and gets the point across. 3. Solid Content Strategy. How do you know what you re going to post on your page? You must first sit down, get quiet, and do what I call a Brand Discovery. What is it about your business that makes it unique makes people want to buy from you? Answer that question in detail. Then, describe your customers: what are their interests, what
problems can you solve, how can you help them? Quality information that s relevant to your audience is how you build a Facebook page or any other Social community. 4. Promotion Strategy. You need to continually grow your fan base. The best way is to utilize Facebook Ads. A small budget with carefully selected photos and ad copy (with a clear call-to-action) will drive likes to your page. 5. Engagement Strategy. You need a plan on how you ll engage your fans and build those relationships. Your Social Media manager will listen, respond, ask questions and engage with your audience. 6. Conversion Strategy. Once you re growing fans and engaging them, you need a strategy on how to convert them into customers. This more advanced form of Facebook marketing utilizes Facebook ads and marketing landing pages. Done right, it generates leads and sales. However, I ve found most dealerships need advice and support. Find the right person to advise you and train your people so you get where you want to go faster, more efficiently and more cost-effectively. RESPONSIBILITIES AS COMMUNICATION MANAGER
