Strategy is key to obtaining results
On many occasions we have talked in this blog about the benefits of having an expert in social networks within the company or hired externally. Today we are going to analyze the actions that should be included in acommunication strategydesigned exclusively for social networks.
Before starting, we must be aware of the importance ofthe communication planalso for the RRSS since having a positive and effective presence in the 2.0 world makes the image of the brand improve in the eyes of consumers.
Many consumers qualify a company as modern and innovative, for the simple fact of having a profile on networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube … and, it is common that, for the same reason, its products or services they are awarded a quality label. This reaction is mainly due to the power ofnotoriety, that is, when a brand sounds better to us, it seems more reliable; however, if it is unknown, it creates mistrust.
A positive brand reputation helps increase business website traffic as well as attract new customers and build loyalty with old ones. We cannot forget thatsocial networksare direct communication channels with consumers and also help us as a brand to increase our visibility and strengthen ties with our target audience because an exchange of information is created, there is two-way communication. If the brand knows how to listen to the voice of its consumers, it will lead them to adapt their products or services to their tastes and needs.
