GREAT MINDS THINK BEYOND LIKES
BEHOLD, THE MOUTHY POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA
More than a trendy new channel to add to your marketing mix, Social Media is the evolution of something truly remarkable. It takes the oldest communication channel in the world – word of mouth – and supercharges it with unprecedented speed, mass individualized reach, and a wealth of third-party endorsement credibility.
CAPTURE CUSTOMERS THROUGH CONTENT
People are bombarded by as many as TEN THOUSAND messages each day. Which means EVERYONE and EVERYTHING that is competing for your customers’ time and attention is your brand’s competition. Here’s the cold truth from your friends at Plan B: Your customers are busy and care a whole lot more about themselves than your brand, products or services. To get them to actually pay attention, you need to give them a reason via compelling, original content that piques their curiosity, tickles their funny bone or blows their mind.
LEVERAGE EMOTION FOR TWO-WAY RELATIONSHIPS
To successfully cut through all the noise on social media and build a two-way relationship with consumers to grow your audience, your content has to be specific, relevant, and emotional.
