Social media is a critical part of the success of any business. Consider this: even if your business is not on social media, your competitors are. People have more choices than ever for where they spend their time and money. Don’t lose out on this audience with social media efforts gone flat. But, it’s not enough to just be there. How can you stay on top of engagement tools and tactics that can help you take what you’re doing to new heights? Simple! Outsource your social media.
Here are 6 top reasons why you should
outsource your social media
- Hire experts in the field
Would you trust your company’s finances to someone unqualified to handle them? No way! Social media is just that valuable. Outsourcing your social media to an expert agency like Southern View Media puts one of the most valuable assets you have in trusted hands social media is your reputation and, in many cases, your storefront. No business can do it all. Leaving your social media efforts to the pros frees you up to focus on more important tasks that drive your bottom line.
- Stay up on the changes
It’s uncanny how subtle but rapid ongoing social media changes and trends are taking place. What you did last month or last quarter that gave high engagement may fall flat now with a new platform algorithm or addition. Social media professionals are equipped with this knowledge and make it their business to stay abreast of these changes.
- Consistent
One of the most common mistakes businesses make in social media is not being consistent with posts, engagement and more. They launch several platforms and leave them there with an occasional post. Simply having Facebook or Instagram is not enough. Your pages need to be active and interactive to get the job done.
- Done right the first time
There are over a dozen social media platforms in existence. Each one pulls in a certain demographic and has certain “rules of engagement..” Think of your own personal social media and you’ll see what we mean. Pinterest caters to certain people (mostly females of a certain age), Twitter is hashtag-dependent and so on. To be executed effectively all social media activity must be done correctly based on the site and your goals. In fact, some sites are flagging behavior like posting the same thing more than once in a time frame or uploading the wrong format of a file – two simple mistakes that can be made when an expert is not at the helm.
- Align with your business goals
When social media is kept in-house it becomes another task on the check box. With that, it’s nearly impossible to take a step back and design a real social media strategy around your business goals. Hiring experts allows objective observation. They can then become partners to help you get to those goals with the help of social media tools.
- Creativity & organization
Social media professionals are highly trained on the best use of creativity on these sites. Further, they can plan entire calendars around campaigns for you that take that work and planning off of the plate of your team.
