Social Media Marketing Strategy.

in Project HOPE4 years ago

I remember sometime last year I wanted to get some of my products sold very fast, I am not really a big fan of social media platforms but I felt showcasing my product was going to help me get customers, I quickly re-opened my almost abandoned Facebook page and I posted some pictures of the items I wanted to sell.

I waited for days and I kept on reposting the pictures with the expectation that I was going to get some positive messages, but instead of getting buyers I only received messages from either scammers or those who wanted an online relationship this got me very angry and I just never used that strategy to advertise my product again, but thinking about it in another direction, there are people who get customers by posting their products on social media platforms which means I must have done something the wrong way (I thought to myself) and this led me to making a research on how to properly advertise products on social media and here is what I found friends.

Ways to Sell Your Products on Social Media.

More than every other person you know your products properly but the people you are trying to market your products to have no idea about what your product can offer, the best and most trending method of showcasing your product to the public is by doing a short demo video that will entail the name and type of your product, what it can do to anyone that purchases it. Your product should certainly solve a problem which should be involved in the demographical representation.

Demographical representation is a famous method used to capture the minds of social media users, I never made use of a demographical representation to display my product and even the phone camera I used was very terrible, this made me conclude when I found out about this strategy that I was not ready to make sales through social media using the bad camera method I used.

Your topic needs to be attractive: A good picture and an attractive topic is a good way to bring people to view your product, I hope you remember that views eventually result into getting more customers so you need to develop the skill to attract them to read your post.

Give away much information but not too much information: In advertising, never give out too much information, keep some and allow the potential customers message you directly then you will be able to convince them to believe more in the brand and pay more for it also.

Pay attention to details: Every business person has to pay attention to details, especially when working on the internet where there are so many scammers.

You have to gradually grow your brand: Do not expect that you will start a business today and it will bloom, it requires patience and regular consistency, which is another thing I did not do right.

Check the way other successful people are doing it: you should carefully study the pattern of someone who is doing well in the industry and learn from them, ask question about how they survived.

Social networks are currently an indispensable resource for any type of marketing.

Not only for an excellent channel for the promotion, but also for the direct purchase and sale of your products and services.

If you think about traditional social networks, there are already ways to receive payments without leaving the platform.
But you find this feature exponentially on the blockchain social networks. I think everyone here knows why.

I am also thinking of bringing sales on blockchain instead of just limiting it to traditional market system. Thanks for the contribution.

My pleasure.

Hmm... You are really right about selling your products online through social media by making use of demographic illustrations but I think one of the fastest ways people use these days is to engage in giveaway activities on contest. You know people love free things most especially when money or gift is highly involved.

It's really surprising that we now have more standard companies and banks making use of similar strategies just to attract more customers and audience to their business.

Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead 💕❤️💕

I agree with you, people really fall for this schemes, thanks for the contribution.

Looks like this sounds crazy. But this is real. In social media culture is created that is far different from the real world.
Are you aware of that?
Social media is a new world that opens up a lot of opportunities. Especially in business matters.
You can use social media to grow your business.
One of them uses social media marketing strategies. You have heard of it.
In general, many people use social media only as a location to play, entertain themselves or just shed endless life anxiety.
Especially for you workers.
Departing early in the morning, coming home midnight makes you unable to enjoy life. And, the only place without boundaries to complain or just boast, is social media.

Social media is indeed a new world on its own, if we do not set proper targets, we could spend our entire day and night there.

Yeah, I believe it.

With the pandemic, the social media will become the new market where market survey would be done, provided it is made to look appealing to the readers and viewers.

I feel the same way, thanks for coming around.

This is an indispensable area for marketing today. The social networks. And there are people who specialize in this type of commerce, particularly I don't know much about it, I must confess. However, I recognize the importance of it.
We cannot ignore it.

It is an aspect that should not be ignored as it helps in driving fast sales, thanks for coming around @josevas217.

It is good you have been able to learn from your experience, one needs to get the right information about social media marketing before proceeding to do it and I appreciate that you have shared your experience with us.
