How to approach Instagram marketing strategy for business?

Image
nstagram is a photo-sharing platform that also allows you to post videos of up to 60 seconds long.  Instagram is important because it has over 400 million active users.  This is a large audience that you cannot deny engaging with.  In fact, Instagram users generally have a larger engagement rate than those on Facebook and  Twitter marketing strategy for business , which is why you cannot look past Instagram. Instagram is shaping up to be the next Facebook, allowing you to actually link your two accounts together (including Twitter and many other platforms as well) instead of having to post on each social media platform. A lot of users are choosing to post only on Instagram, but still have their photos uploaded to Facebook. Instagram is a lot more personal in the way that Facebook used to be with lots of photos and lots of insight into your own world. Instagram attracts a lot of younger followers, while still branching out to the entire community. While their parents...

Social media services proposal guidelines

The Need for Social Media Guidelines Despite an increase in the use and understanding of social media, many employees are still in need of guidance when it comes to social media engagement. According to a post on the Econsultancy blog in July 2011: ‘8 per cent of companies in the United States have fired an employee for a social media flub, while another 20 per cent have disciplined an employee for social media misbehaviour. But these well-reported social media mishaps have not jolted all organisations into creating social media guidelines. A recent ICM Research survey shows that only 24% of companies have policies for how employees should use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (June 2011). Creating guidelines can help organisations to protect their brand online as well as empowering employees to hold conversations and spread the word about an organisation. Guidelines that create ‘freedom within a framework’ (a Coca-Cola phrase and concept it uses f...

Does social media has any business value?

Image
In the decade since social networking was born, we have seen the power of platforms that unite humanity. Across our professional and personal lives, social platforms have truly changed the world. Social media has been the tool to ignite revolutions and elections, deliver real-time news, connect people and interests, and of course, drive commerce. Industry analysts were skeptical about how blogging and its successors could ever be used in business; today every single social channel has both B2C and B2B offerings sprinkled generously throughout the content. As businesses figured out that they could use social networks to interact directly with their customers and prospects, questions were immediately generated about efficacy and ROI. Was it just hype and noise, or were new audiences being reached and new opportunities created? For the first several years, the only way to answer these questions was anecdotally. Many brands and  businesses viewed social  media warily, feeling t...

What is open source social media monitoring?

Image
Listening to your audiences has become a truism in both public and private sectors. And the concept is hardly new. Long ago and far away, businesses and organisations would send researchers out with a clipboard and survey to knock on doors and assail people in the streets to ask them their opinions. However, for many decades, the techniques involved remained largely unchanged. Pollsters may have taken to calling people on the phone, and with the rise of the internet, the use of email and Web surveys ostensibly brought down the potential cost and reach of such exercises. But at root, this was still largely a case of surveying random samples of an audience in order to better understand what it was thinking and feeling – and to use this to anticipate how best to meet its needs – or, in a PR context, determine what messaging strategy and tactical activity to develop. The use of market research and opinion poll data has been grist to the PR mill for some time – having said that, th...
