Today, there are over 4 billion internet users
online--and many of them access social media platforms every day. That means there are billions of opportunities for engagement between customers and companies each day.
Social media management is essential to keep up the conversation with customers and improve marketing for a broader reach. Whether or not you choose to outsource a manager is up to you.
However, it's wise to have a dedicated social media management individual or team to tackle platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and more.
Keep reading to learn why you should invest in a social media manager as soon as possible:
Some companies keep social media managers in-office to attend regular meetings and communicate with easily. Technology today allows teams to tune into meetings and stay in touch from afar through phone calls, chat, and video sessions.
You may feel it's better to outsource a social media marketing company to engage customers regularly, which is becoming more popular. If you'd rather communicate with someone in-house or else you want to take it on yourself, that's ok, too.
Regardless of who's appointed the responsibility, here are four reasons dedicated social media management is essential to success:
Social media planning is easier
when someone can dedicate all their time to testing engagement and improving messaging.
The social media manager will also help keep posts organized, as successful engagement will require many updates. Some suggest that each platform deserves at least a post or two every day.
Multiply that across all the available platforms. It can turn into a busy mess in no time.
Social media management isn't always about reinventing the wheel or SEO strategy
for today's consumers. Managers can always schedule posts ahead through software like Sprout Social so they don't have to be glued to a computer all hours.
But what if something news-breaking happens? Someone will need to be on top of posting to intercept and replace scheduled posts with more appropriate ones.
It's good practice to speak directly to your customers through social media and respond to any issues voiced there in a timely manner, too. This is a job for a social media manager.
A good social media management team or individual will always stay up-to-date on trending topics and buzz-worthy media. And someone who pays attention enough will develop enough insight to foresee upcoming trends.
This insight will prove to be as much an asset as the online ad space or the social media post itself.
A dedicated person or team will explore how to expand your brand through online engagement every day. They will look to your competitors and try their hardest to out-do them in the biggest watering hole on the planet: the internet.
Without them and you're missing out on billions of opportunities to sell your product, service, or spread your message to an international market.
