Need Help about Social Media Marketing

@Nesight @TechnoBear thanks for the reply. Would you tell me please what the budget is play a role in this marketing…??

Facebook, twitter , flicker , linkedin and google + is the best way for SMM

Generally facebook, linkedin

How can anybody answer that with no information about your business, the scope of your campaign, or anything else?

To all posters: please do not simply list social sites and say “these are best”. Please explain why you have suggested a particular site, and in what circumstances you would recommend it: which target audience, business niche, geographical location, etc.

Posts with simple lists or insufficient detail will be removed as fluff.

that would depend on your niche… where does your target spend their time… if your business is about services then… facebook would be the best… because you get to explain… on your page… in groups…among friends… if its about buy and sell then twitter is better… explain in100 characters…why buy or sell…google plus i have only used for 500 words blogs…

The budget can be any amount of money from few bucks to thousands. Depends largely on what you aim to achieve. For instance, you can start on Facebook for as little as $1 per day.

But My question is which media is best for business branding and why…?

i am 100% agree with you. which social media channel is best and why ?

Perhaps if you were to provide a bit more information yourself, @DegiXpert, as already requested, you might get more meaningful replies.

As I mentioned before, the answer will depend on many things, from your business niche and location to the age and location of your target audience.

Well, so far going by the information you’ve given i.e. the target market is the UK

The obvious best would be a UK specific social media site

Going by your other topic

The obvious best would be a greater London specific social media site

The problem I have with this is that I find this all depends on your niche. For instance, if you’re a Google Go expert, you obviously wouldn’t take advantage of the pinterest or instagram social media network. But you might if you were a website designer with visually great sites to share.

The other issue is there are many “biggie” social media sites, but trying to do them all with the same amount of effort is a time sink. Pick the most pertinent sites to your niche and your style and focus on those sites. Have accounts on the others and use them if you need a social media blast.

But like others have mentioned here, there’s not a lot of information forthcoming.

It totally depends on what is your niche and business. We need to know where your targeted customers spends most of the time in. Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn are the popular ones when it comes to social media marketing. Research where your targeted customers are majorly found in and you can start your campaign :slight_smile:

@blogspace my business is transport and my target audience is london and Uk base.

That’s a very broad description. What kind of transport? Taxi or chauffeur services? Car hire? Van hire? Courier services? Are you covering just London, or the whole of the UK?

my company business is London taxi company and we are providing taxi rent a car services in London

Usually facebook, linkedin, google+, twitter, pinterst are widely used.
I use FB more to branding our business. Each social media having its own style and format.
You have to use the social media according to their trend.
then only we can reach the target.

It all depends on how you want to brand yourself too, and how active you will actually be on social. You can be on twitter and pintrest, but if you have limited updates, then this will be a waste of time and focus. I would suggest you focus more on content marketing and less on social media marketing (but don’t forget about it entirely). It feels like you don’t have a good, clear idea of your branding aspirations and marketing campaign yet, so I would work on that first. Figure out how you want to present your company to the public and represent that on your website in a well-thought-out way. And then sit down and consider what you actually want to get out of a social media marketing campaign, which should help you narrow down the focus. Ultimately it depends a lot on who you are targeting. Just saying the UK isn’t really helpful, because that is too wide and general. Who will be using your service, and what kinds of social platforms is this target demographic using? It’s never just as simple as saying “these social platforms are good”. The social platform is only as good as the user and their purpose for using it. Sit down and really put together a social media campaign and strategy and once it is clear in your head, you will know which avenues to engage.

OK, so if your fleet has some unique types of cars (stretched limos or stretched Jeeps!) and you want to show them off, then you’ll want to use Instagram and other image-specific sites to wow the customer and lure them in. Will your efforts focus on images? Then start with Instagram. However, Instagram is mostly for image-building, not customer-grabbing. There are few or no links in Instagram.

However, it’s a good idea to have a good site for your business already set up so that any social media you start up will point back to the site for more information.

If you offer a lot of deals each week on your rentals, or lots of news, then Facebook and Twitter would be good to start with. Again, the full details should be on your web site, and your socials will point to the page for more info where necessary.

If you have a wide range of vehicles, you might do a Pinterest page. There, you’ll shoot pictures of your cars and the cool people who ride in them, and post them in a category appropriate to those cars. Clicking on any of those cars should take them to your website to rent them.

If you are appealing to the college or high school types, then you should go around the campuses and simply talk to the people to find out what social media they are using. On-the-ground research is good!

I hope these pointers help you develop a feel for what you want to do.
