Before you worry about what you're going to say on social media or the best time to post on which platform, it's important to think about what you're trying to accomplish -- your business goals should be the foundation of your plan. This is a presentation I gave to the Corn Party in Albany in March 2015.

- Often when I talk to people who are lost or frustrated with social media, I find it’s because they don’t really know why they’re doing social media. If you don’t know why you’re doing it, it’s hard to prioritize what to do and nearly impossible to figure out if it’s working. So we’ll talk about getting specific business goals as the foundation for your social media plan. Goals will drive your actions. Actions inform your marketing communications. Then you measure. Are you reaching your goals?
- Gary’s Social Media Count showed that in 30 seconds – 30 seconds – there were Almost 1 million likes on Facebook 50 hours of video uploaded to YouTube Nearly 1.5 million tweets sent About 20,000 likes and comments on Instagram See more … http://www.personalizemedia.com/garys-social-media-count/ -- this is a speeding train that’s already left the station, so if it feels like you’re having to run fast to keep up, it’s not just you.
- Ultimately, I think the WHY is to boost your business. Not just to get more followers or likes or comments.
- If this sounds hard, it doesn’t have to be. It’s just the online version of what you’ve probably been doing for years. If you advertised in your local newspaper with a coupon, at the end of the season you counted coupons to see how many got redeemed.
- You can find Twitter analytics on your follower trend and which of your tweets have gotten the most favorites, retweets and clicks at https://analytics.twitter.com/ You can get Facebook page data by clicking “see insights” up in the top right of your admin panel. These can each show you what individual posts are getting the most engagement – but they won’t show you how many of those likes lead to a purchase, for example. They show you social media results, not business results.
- This is an Excel spreadsheet I designed to track and measure marketing campaign results. It starts at the far left with a campaign – maybe it’s promoting sign ups for your CSA, for example, or announcing the opening of you-pick pumpkins for the season. Then it asks the major business goal we’re addressing. So it’s tying each marketing communication effort back to the business goal and its related campaign, which is the action. Then it asks who the audience is. You might talk differently to existing customers than to people who haven’t yet been to your farm or to reporters. It then prompts through questions about the key message of the content, and the content – is it a photo, a video, whatever. Then it ends with two types of tracking: It asks about what social media metrics you’ll track – retweets or video views, for example AND it asks what business metrics you’ll track – number of customers or dollar value each customer spends, for example But – if this is too much for you, you don’t need to make it this complicated. Do what is reasonable and sustainable for you and your business. Pick your business goals and keep an eye on those.
