6 Tips on Choosing Social Media Platforms for Your Marketing Strategy

June 8, 2022

Around 4.65 billion people worldwide use at least one social media platform.

Social media has become one of the most useful marketing tools for companies, and using it to promote your brand is essential for growth in today’s world. Knowing which social media platforms will work best for your business is key to success.

For 6 tips on choosing social media platforms for your brand, keep reading.

1. Understand the Different Platforms Available

There’s a range of social media platforms you can choose from, and each one has its own features and benefits. To begin making decisions about which platforms you want to use for your business, you need to understand what each one offers. Some of the most popular choices include:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • YouTube
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

Do some research into what type of content performs well on each of these, as well as the kinds of businesses that use them.

2. Know Your Target Audience

Once you’ve got an understanding of the social media platforms available, you need to think about which ones your target audience is using the most. If your target audience makes very little use of Twitter, for example, then marketing your brand on Twitter won’t yield the best results.

You also want to get an idea of other brands that your target audience is interacting with. This can help give you some ideas of the kind of things you should implement in your social media marketing strategy.

3. Consider the Content You’ll Be Sharing

Your brand and the social media platforms you’re using will dictate the kind of content you should share. Instagram, for example, is based on visuals, so pictures and videos are ideal.

Both Instagram and Facebook are well suited for giveaways and competitions. You can upload social media posts that encourage users to share and promote your page for their chance of winning, which will help extend your reach.

YouTube and TikTok are the two best platforms for video content. Short video content including things like recipes, life hacks, and memes do very well on TikTok. YouTube is more suitable for how-to videos and product reviews.

Twitter is great for short-form text and sharing real-time data. LinkedIn is the best choice for editorial content, and for establishing B2B (business to business) connections.

4. Establish Your Goals

Having clear goals will help guide your entire social media campaign. Set these goals early on, then work towards meeting them as best you can. This will help keep you on track as you progress and make changes to your digital marketing strategy.

It’s a good idea to base these goals on improving engagement with your audience rather than growing your numbers of followers/fans. This could spill over into other elements of your digital marketing strategy too. Improving your SEO and social media presence are among the best things you can do to help your business grow online.

5. Know Your Resource Limits

Social media platforms are generally free, but it still takes time and manpower to create a marketing strategy, and implement it successfully.

When marketing your businesses online you want to make sure you’re spending effectively. Analytic tools can show how successful your strategy is so you can determine if it’s worthwhile or if you need to make any changes.

6. Research Your Competitors

You want people to choose your brand over your competitors. If you know what they’re doing, you can adapt their most successful ideas into your own strategy while improving on them.

You can look at things like the platforms they’re using, how often they post, the type of content they share, etc. This will give you an idea of the best strategies for businesses within your industry.

Choosing Social Media Platforms for Your Business

All of the tips above can help you when choosing social media platforms for your brand. Ensure you’ve done a good amount of research and are open to adapting your strategy to make improvements as you progress.
