The Pains of Social Media Marketing

If you are running a business digital marketing is probably an integral part of the day-to-day operations, or it should be.  Gone are the days of having to purchase expensive ad through the newspapers, radio, and television. While those avenues still exist, digital marketing has stepped in and become a key player in your strategy. Reaching your target audience has never been easier, or so you thought. Like anything great, it never comes without its struggles. Digital marketing is no exception. Most businesses encounter this when dealing with one of the more popular components of digital marketing – social media.

Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, X (formerly known as Twitter), Pinterest, You Tube, Tik Tok, Telegram, We Chat, Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitch, Tumblr, Threads are some of the more popular applications.  Each platform allows businesses to optimize brand reach, engage with the right people and formulate the proper social media marketing strategy. The problem lies in getting it right. Most feel it’s “easy” to manage a social media page because they have personal pages, and they look similar. News flash! The look is where it ends. A personal Facebook page is nothing like a Facebook business page. Yes, you can post content, but a business page is meant to generate leads, help scale your business, and notify the public of all the goods and services a business has to offer.

Before you launch one of the platforms, you need to figure out if the social networking site is a right fit for your business. There is so much more to follow. Some of the things are getting the platform configured properly, this includes page set up. There’s also the content creation and management of the page. If you’re running the page properly you will want to run ads. There will be a need for ad budget optimization and knowing what to allot towards managing these ads effectively. There’s also compliance and privacy to consider. Staying compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA is essential and can present many challenges.

It’s important to remember that digital marketing and social media is an ongoing process. The key to success is staying abreast of all the trends, analyzing your data, and optimizing your strategy to align with your business goals. It’s important to have someone there who can guide you along your journey. That’s what we do here at VicMedia Global.
