Any marketer starting out from scratch can be overwhelmed by the endless marketing strategy possibilities to include in their campaign, but here are four that are simply indispensable for your campaign’s success:

Must-Have #1 – Goals

The first step to planning a social media campaign is to map out a clear and objective-driven plan. Ask yourself what you are planning to achieve with your campaign – more outreach, a reduce in marketing costs, an increase in brand awareness – identify what you want and align your social media campaign to it.

You simply cannot move forward if you do not know where you are headed. First assess your brand’s needs and identify your goals before you start anything else.

Must-Have #2 – Target Audience

When it comes to social media campaigns, traditional and mass broadcasting never work because people are more inclined to share something they can personally resonate with. It is important to identify your target audience in order to create a more meaningful and more lasting impact accompanied by a well-informed, relevant and shareable message.

Must-Have #3 – Original & Creative Content

Original content is what boosts your online presence. In order to keep your brand’s following engaged and retained, businesses will need to consistently create new and engaging ideas, creative initiatives and captivating campaigns. Users are more likely to dissociate themselves with brands whose content are repetitive and monotonous.

Must-Have #4 – Community Management

Once you have established a following and have grown a community, management then is the next important step.

Community management is about monitoring to listen, engaging in conversations and moderating to protect your brand’s reputation on a daily basis.
