Okay, now what? A piece of company curated content blows up on social with a ton of likes/comments/retweets. You think they’ll just start lining up at the door wanting to buy your product/service…right?
Think again.
Simply having a solid social media presence is not enough. There needs to be a way to convert those likes/comments/retweets into tangible results or as we in the sales world like to call it – hot leads.
So why do you want to blow up on social media? Attention alone is completely irrelevant. Attention is not going to grow your sales. Lots of comments are not going to get you anything more than your fifteen minutes of fame. Think about how your social media channels fit into your overall strategy. What is your main goal of using social media? It must translate to more sales and greater profits for your company. So, before you start to tailor your content, consider what you want your target market to do. You may want them to contact you or you may want them to download a piece of content from your website. It could be a simple as driving content to your main web platform.
