INTRODUCTION

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
Definition:-
Social Media Marketing, is a form of internet marketing that involves creating
and sharing content on social media networks in order to achieve your
marketing and branding goals. It includes activities like posting text and image
updates, videos, and other content that drives audience engagement, as well
as paid social media advertising. It is a powerful way for businesses of all sizes
to reach prospects and customers. Your customers are already interacting with
brands through social media, and if you're not speaking directly to your audience
through social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, you're
missing out! Great marketing on social media can bring remarkable success to
your business, creating devoted brand advocates and even driving leads and
sales.
The bigger and more engaged your audience is on social media networks, the
easier it will be for you to achieve every other marketing goal on your list.

Social Media Marketing Tips
Page | 12
How can we use Social Media for Marketing?
Facebook :-
Pinterest-
Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social media marketing trends. Pinterest’s
image-centred platform is ideal for retail, but anyone can
benefit from using Pinterest for social media purposes
or sales-driving ads.
Twitter:-
Twitter is the social media marketing tool that lets you broadcast your updates
across the web. Follow tweeters in your industry or related fields, and you
should gain a steady stream of followers in return.
Mix up your official tweets about specials, discounts, and news with fun, brand-
building tweets. Be sure to retweet when a customer has
something nice to say about you, and don’t forget to answer
people’s questions when possible. Using Twitter as a social media
marketing tool revolves around dialog and communication, so be
sure to interact as much as possible to nurture and build your
following.
Page | 13
LinkedIn :-
LinkedIn is one of the more professional social media marketing sites. LinkedIn
Groups is a great venue for entering into a professional dialog with people in
similar industries and provides a place to share content with like-minded
individuals. It's also great for posting jobs and general employee
networking.
YouTube :-
YouTube is the number one place for creating and sharing
video content, and it can also be an incredibly powerful
social media marketing tool. Many businesses try to
create video content with the aim of having their video
“go viral,” but in reality those chances are pretty slim.
Instead, focus on creating useful, instructive “how-to” videos. These how-to
videos also have the added benefit of ranking on the video search results of
Google, so don't under-estimate the power of video content.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
It helps in:
The Smarter your goals, the more likely you will be able to meet them and
just as importantly, know that you are meeting them.
While you want to challenge yourself, it is essential that you set
attainable, realistic goals. You might love to have one million Facebook
followers, but that is unlikely to be attainable within the next year for
most businesses, even those that perform exceptionally well.
Your goals will be personal to your business and complement your overarching
business goals. Social media goals you could consider include:
Increasing brand awareness
Achieving a set higher quantity of sales
Improving your ROI
Driving people to increase in-store sales
Grow your fan base

The types of content that perform well on social media may surprise you. One
of the five most shared posts on the Influencer Marketing Hub on Facebook this
year is How to Get a Crown on Musical.ly - An Influencer's Guide to Musical.ly,
which people have shared more than 450 times. This is surprisingly high for an
article about a niche social network.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Page | 29
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
It includes expertise and experience in the company, as well as their
partners.
A good track record is also count.
List of current clients can contribute to the strengths as well. If a company
have low debt and a lot of borrowing power, count these as strengths, too
Weakness:
Weaknesses can include a lack of clients, along with the loss of a partner
or major backer.
For example, if you don’t have a strong graphic designer, this is a
weakness.
Opportunities:
Examine opportunities that look like real possibilities for a company.
Perhaps reputation has grown to the point where to get meetings with
Fortune 500 companies.
Look at all the opportunities for growth and expansion, particularly for the
next five years. SWOT analysis can help to address that time frame
immediately.
It Include the opportunity to attract new talent from other companies if
you think you have some important connections in that area. Also look at
opportunities to take on partners and form joint ventures.
Threats:
The analysis of possible threats should include competition.
The mere existence of other Advertising agencies is not a threat in itself,
but if someone is doing what you do in the same market segment, that
can be a threat.
It Include considerations about the economy, as well as a look at the
business climate in area of expertise.

CONCLUSION
&
SUGGESTION
Page | 36
CONCLUSION
Communication about the product or service provides a major
contribution to brand competition in the market. It not only provides
information about a product or service but also promotes creative
innovation. Besides advertising, it also facilitates consumer satisfaction.
The hidden fact is that no brand can progress without effective
communication strategy to attract their customers or users. Big and small
variety of brands now a days laid their base on Social network
communication to get recognized in the target market.
Page | 37
SUGGESTIONS
Communications should be more preferred than advertising: people do not
prefer buying products through Social networking sites. So, if the brand is
communicated well and remembered by the audience, then it is a greatest
success to the company for their promotion thorough Social media.
Promotional way of advertising is best: the usual banner ads and pop-up ads
make the users to ignore them. So, advertising must be interactive, promotional
and in innovative form to hold the audience. It should target the individuals than
the mass. If an ads is hosted for a group then that would be no advantage in
delivering specified information. Adding more multimedia elements to have
more interactive factors in pages and group would benefit the brand users.
