<ul>
<li>Facebook-Tends to be older audience; 72% of men and ladies age 50-64 are on Facebook consistent with AdWeek</li>
<li>Twitter-38% of Twitter users are men and women age 18-29 according to SproutSocial</li>

<li>LinkedIn-Professional and networking platform; 51% of LinkedIn users have a minimum of a university degree; 37% of users are age 30-49</li>
<li>Reposting the same content across multiple platforms allows for network integration, or using all of your social media platforms to promote content, and allows users to interact with the content on their preferred platform.</li>
</ul>
<p>Defining goals for your social media marketing campaign will help determine which platforms you should focus on. For example, your target audience and demographic could skew older and lead you to focus on Facebook, or you’re targeting the largely female audience on Pinterest.</p>
<p>A consistent presence on a variety of social platforms will also improve your business’s customer service. Be there on the platforms your clients use so customers can reach out with complaints, questions, or concerns.</p>
<p>Social media is also a great way to identify potential customers in demographics similar to your best customers.<br />
An easy way to find out which platforms your target audience use is to ask some of your best customers where they spend their time. Spend time on those platforms engaging with people to see if it makes sense for your business to be there.</p>

However, there are a few measurable aspects of your marketing campaigns that can help you learn the value, if any, of what you are sharing on social media.</p>
<p>Comparing your success with competitors through analytics, such as engagement and followers can help you see where your business stands in your target market.</p>
<p>Set a measurable goal, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>More followers</li>
<li>Higher engagement rate</li>
<li>Faster response time</li>
<li>More purchases, sign-ups, downloads</li>
<li>More website traffic</li>
<li>Monitor these aspects of your social media campaigns to track where you struggle and where you succeed.</li>
</ul>
<p>Google Analytics is a great way to track website traffic and monitor conversions attributed to your social media campaigns. Social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, offer their analytics tools that provide information like engagement per post, clicks on each post, impression, reach, and audience demographics.</p>

Anything that happens on social media without paid promotion is organic. Posts, shares, comments, likes, or messages are easy ways to track your organic social media efforts.</p>
<p>Paid social media is influenced by advertising dollars spent. If a social media post says “Sponsored”, this means any reaction to it is considered a paid reaction. Paid social media includes boosted posts, ads optimized for clicks, lead generation forms, and video ads.</p>
<p>A successful social media marketing strategy is one that utilizes both organic and paid social media. A mix of both organic and paid ensures a larger reach and following.</p>

                                                            <p>A brand is a set of characteristics &#8211; or an identity &#8211; that is easily recognizable and which enhances the reputation of your products or services.<br />
A brand should embody the unique selling points of your product or service. An accountant could place a figure on some of the goodwill you have built up on your brand values.<br />
Brands aren&#8217;t only for big companies &#8211; they will make smaller businesses stand out from the gang, particularly in competitive markets. A strong brand image will help you establish an edge over your rivals and can open doors to new opportunities. For example, other lines are often bought in, branded, and sold as your own products.<br />
The key attributes of a brand will include a reputation, a logo, or a design (or a mixture of the three); this branding identifies a product, service, person, or organization as having a unique selling point. It can then be used across all marketing activities.<br />
A successful brand invariably leads to superior profit and marketing performance. A name can set a product or service apart and add significant value as a capital asset.</p>

Try to think of a memorable and meaningful trade name that sums up what you do, making sure it does not conflict with any existing names in your field.<br />
List the brand attributes you want to convey.<br />
Commission an appropriate logo. When you have the right design, make sure it appears everywhere.<br />
Develop a corporate image and color scheme that can be used on your website, on stationery, vans, signs, staff clothing, and adverts.<br />
Ensure that all your products and services are reliable, compatible, and of a good standard. A single weak link will bear down the worth of the brand.<br />
The time it takes to create a brand is that the time it takes your customers to simply accept your brand values. These may include the assumption, for instance, that your product or service will give better value or be more reliable than competing ones. They may also start to believe that they will be happier with your product or service than any others and that your product or service is the most suitable for people like them.<br />
Clearly, these values are based on customers&#8217; perceptions of your company and its authority and reputation in its particular field, combined with the particular benefits provided by your product. Your customers&#8217; good opinion will be based on substance; continuing to deliver on your promises will ensure your brand is successful.<br />
This kind of authority and reputation isn&#8217;t easily won, so building a real brand is probably going to require time, some money, and other resources.</p>

We then invite samples of existing logos that the client likes or dislikes to urge a thought of their taste. Sometimes the client already features a design concept in mind. Other times, they need no idea what they need. Either way, we confirm we&#8217;ve collected enough information before we start work. Our logo design service is extremely simple. If you’d wish to see extra concepts after our initial three ideas or if you would like a few logo designs for multiple companies our service is often priced consistent with your needs.</p>

Generally speaking, once all the pertinent info has been gathered, the contract signed and deposit received, approximately 2 to three initial rough comps are created supported the design and parameters of the project estimate. One design concept is chosen by the client and further developed by the designer. because the chosen design is refined, project proofs are presented to review and or submit changes. All project proofs are provided via email during a .pdf or .jpeg format. (these are Low-Resolution files for proofing purposes ONLY).</p>
<p>3 rounds of design changes* are included/built into the initial project estimate. If more changes are requested beyond the inclusive 3 rounds, then surcharges will apply. the extra fees will vary counting on the extent of the changes requested. The fees are going to be on top of the first project estimate, got to be approved by the client, and billed accordingly.</p>
<p>*Unlimited changes aren&#8217;t offered as they&#8217;re not the time or cost-effective and ultimately cause more confusion than clarity.</p>
<p>The design is then finalized and delivered within the necessary file formats counting on if this is often a print project (high-resolution files) or formats for the online. payoff and or balance due is required at this point so as for the project to be delivered.</p>

<p>There is an open line of communication with the client in the least times (mainly via email). it&#8217;s imperative that the client provides all of the required content including text, photos &#038; images, logos during a timely manner to make sure the project flow.</p>
<p>Failure to supply this vital info can stall the project and delay the completion date at no fault of the designer. After the initial comp phase, a project moves more quickly — as long as all essential and necessary elements are submitted by the client.</p>

Can Delete Comments:<br />
&#8211; Instagram<br />
&#8211; Pinterest<br />
&#8211; YouTube<br />
&#8211; LinkedIn</p>
<p>Cannot Delete Comments:<br />
&#8211; Facebook<br />
&#8211; Twitter</p>
<p><strong>Other Options on Facebook</strong><br />
While your Facebook Business page can’t delete users’ comments, you do have the ability to block specific words and profanity from your page. You can also hide unwanted comments. This can all be managed under your ‘Settings’ tab in the upper right-hand corner.</p>
<p>As far as Facebook reviews go, you can turn those off too. However, we don’t recommend this feature because reviews today are as important as ever.</p>
<p>If you do receive a bad comment or review, we believe it’s best to respond with a solution, such as asking the reviewer to contact you directly (through direct messaging, email or phone) to resolve the situation. This lets the public see you are proactive and want to make your customers happy.</p>
<p><strong>More Choices for Twitter</strong><br />
When it involves Twitter, you&#8217;ve got a couple of different options to urge obviate negative comments. You can:<br />
&#8211; Block the offending user<br />
&#8211; &#8220;Mute&#8221; future Tweets from a user<br />
&#8211; In extreme cases, report users for spam or abusive language</p>

It does not usually concern itself with an analysis of the external environment or the fit between the organization and the environment. Strategic planning gives explicit recognition to the organization’s outside environment and emphasizes the organization’s strategic advantage in meeting the contingencies in this environment. Although strategic planning also involves goal setting, it&#8217;s broader in scope and far more comprehensive than operational planning.</p>

There are many specific reasons for a corporation to initiate a strategic planning process, including the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>provide a structure for management</li>
<li>give the organization better control over external forces</li>
<li>serve as a tool for deciding and resource allocation</li>
<li>develop a strategy for innovation so the organization can compete effectively</li>
<li>bring everyone together within the organization in order that they&#8217;re on an equivalent wavelength</li>
<li>raise management/employee awareness of current issues and operations</li>
<li>reawaken and motivate key people within the organization</li>
<li>position the organization for a merger or joint venture</li>
<li>create a document suitable for fundraising and/or public relations</li>
<li>increase morale within a corporation and develop a way of trust and cohesion</li>
<li>set the stage for the organization to make a &#8220;quantum leap&#8221; to a new level of product/service development or functioning</li>
</ul>

Strategic planning focuses on a couple of priority issues and deals with the community&#8217;s social and economic issues, also as its physical development (something typically emphasized in comprehensive plans). Also, strategic planning includes an action plan with clearly defined timetables and responsibilities, while the great plan tends to supply general guidance for deciding.</p>

It is a dynamic one and not a linear or static process. Participants can, and doubtless will, return and forth between the steps instead of proceeding through them linearly.<br />
Second, it&#8217;s an iterative process, like &#8220;peeling the layers of an onion.&#8221; Frequently, strategic planning will involve a group of parallel, concurrent processes or steps.<br />
Third, it is cyclical. Optimally, strategic planning is going to be institutionalized within the community in order that the vision and goals are revisited after a year or two and therefore the community can determine what strategies should be modified.</p>
