Promote brands through social media is easy, but choosing the correct audience is difficult. However, if we have an idea about our potential audience before the campaign starts, we can create an effective campaign through social media.
Recently, we have done a brand awareness campaign for a contracting company in Riyadh. They had only one demand that is we don’t need to show all category people, we show only the specific people who are related to our business. Do you know how we find the audience?
Steps We Take to Promote Brands through Social Media
Each campaign has its own set of steps. We will be sharing these steps with you to get to know your audience.
Step 1: Identifying the audience
We create a google form as our first step. The client must fill out the form. We can then understand the potential audience once we have filled out the client’s questionnaire. Do you want to find out the questions in that form? Here’s the complete list.
- What is the campaign’s objective?
- Gender of your audience
- Marital Status
- Age group
- Localization
- Profession
- Salary scale
- Hobbies of your audience
- List of competitors
- Influencers in your industry
Sometimes, clients may not be aware of their potential audience. Our campaign planning team will handle this situation.
The first step will make it easy to move on to the next. Sometimes the target audience for a specific campaign may be different. We will usually select the general audience for restaurant or beverage advertisements. A giveaway campaign was created by one of our clients. They chose football fans. Because the giveaway is about football.
Step 2: Create a campaign plan
The first step is the most important. We can then move on to the next steps easily. Every social media marketing plan has a budget, an objective, audience, placements and other details. This step will help you understand all of this.
Step 3: Implementation
Before we move to implementation, it is important that all figures from the first and second steps are double-checked. This step includes the implementation of all of your first and second steps. Our ads will go live once the campaign plan has been implemented. This process can take up to 24 hours.
These are the basic steps for a social media campaign. Sometimes the client has no idea of their audience. We will then use a retargeting or other campaigns that are specific to the client’s needs.
Retargeting campaigns can be used to target specific audiences or the audience column can be used as null. There are two types of retargeting campaigns. The first campaign is to target a specific group. The second campaign can be used to retarget those who have shown interest in the previous campaign.
Online course sellers and service providers often use retargeting campaigns. By offering free courses or other offers, they will target a specific audience. They will then create ads for the paid course. The audience will consist of people who have expressed interest in the free version.
Social media is at its peak and there is no turning back. Brands are trying to understand social media marketing strategies to help them promote their brands and offer the best customer service. We hope you enjoyed our blog post about how social media can be used to promote brands.
