2. What are your goals? What does your company hope to achieve from this marketing campaign? If you are looking to triple your traffic overnight or achieve double sales by the end of the month, look somewhere else as social media marketing isn’t the thing for you, at least not as yet with these goals.

By the nature of the medium which was meant solely for connecting and communicating, rest assured that social networking websites aren’t a platform for selling products. While researches show that it is a viable way of selling, generally, your best hope in this medium should be to create brand awareness and brand equity.

3. What would you say? Be advised that visitors to social sites are doing so out of their own wish — they aren’t a captive audience as is the case with someone watching TV or a commercial advertisement on the internet.

Therefore, for them to take their precious time and follow you or look at your social media profile in the least of actions, or even go ahead to read a message that you have posted on the social media website, you should have something very compelling for them.

Thus, as a good marketer does, you should heed the important old adage of ‘knowing your target audience’. What is it that they want and what can you offer them to meet their needs? This you do by relying on your own consumer modeling as well as knowledge of the industry generally.

The above-mentioned are the 3 major questions a brand considering venturing into the social media marketing services in Kenya should ask itself. These questions will help you to be able to determine how viable the opportunity to market or promote the brand is on a social media website.
