When it comes to social media, there are many channels businesses can use to reach their audience. Knowing which platform is right for your business is not always straightforward. In this blog series, we’ll do a deep dive into the different platforms consumers are engaging with today as we help you nail the perfect social media marketing strategy.
But what is social media marketing?
Social media marketing is the process of creating content for social media platforms to promote your products or services. It is a fast-moving, ever-changing environment that can be tricky for businesses to navigate. With so many different platforms, how do you know what content to post where and at what time?
And don’t forget how quickly trends change in our current climate. What is popular today might not be so hip in five years’ time as we alter our habits, new crazes emerge, and more social media platforms hit the market.
One of the biggest challenges businesses face today is how quickly social media is evolving. New platforms are emerging all the time and it’s hard to pick which one will work best for you.
Finding your target market in this new world
Finding the right ways to find and, more importantly, connect with your target audience has always been a priority for marketers. And that is even more important in a world that is saturated with so many different platforms. Each offers its users a unique experience, which is why so many of us use more than one platform.
Social media has given businesses a new way to reach their consumers, but it’s only effective if we use it to find the right people. We’re all connected to our mobile phones these days, so we constantly have social media at our fingertips.

That way, we can ultimately use social media to build trust with consumers in a way that we’ve never been able to do before due to the access we now have to consumers thanks to those handy mobile phones.
