What is SMM?

Social media marketing (or SMM) – is a strategy of using different social media to attract, sustain and expand your target audience. Using SMM, you get several advantages over businesses who don’t use it or use it inconsiderately:

• You make your business easy to familiarize with. It’s easier to create a good impression if people have more chances to learn more about you through regular posts and messages. It makes your potential customers feel like a business is run by people, not bosses who want to rip them off. 
• Thanks to the functionality of social networks, you have more opportunities to add traffic to your web page. 
• Using a complex approach to planning and holding a marketing campaign, you can increase lead generation productivity and generate more prospects. 
• Using visual means of social networks like Instagram or Pinterest, it’s easier to make your brand recognizable to the extent that it is associated with a product or service you offer. 
• Building relationships is far easier thanks to direct and indirect messaging. A great example is using Twitter for customer support account management or Instagram for influencer marketing. 

These benefits open a wide range of possibilities before you. And the more considerate content you post, the more memorable your brand is. 

What is content marketing?

Content marketing refers to using different information to benefit from people interacting with it. It means not only to get money – the measure that is even more valuable for the marketing strategy is how many people have a good impression of your business and how they perceive you in general. 

For performing the use of content in social media, you need to clearly understand the balance of promotional, informational, and other messages. 

What should the content be?

First and foremost to remember is the content should be appropriate to a platform you post on. For example, the best match for Pinterest is aesthetic photos; for YouTube, it would be more convenient to prepare highly informational videos like tutorials or interviews; TikTok is perfect for entertaining and engaging. 

Whatever content you use, there are features that any content should have to drive results:

• the fascinating idea that engages the content consumers;
• meaningful use of visual aids;
• something that makes your content stick into people’s minds.

The more informational your posts or videos are, the more the community is involved as they understand it is not simply imposing. But to make it more viewable, it is clever to use hashtags and paid advertising. 

Generally, there are dozens of things to consider while planning content sharing in terms of SMM strategy. And the Belkins specialists are ready to help you with this challenge.
