- Set reasonable goals and expectations.As a small business owner, set reasonable goals that match expectations and investments of resources and time. The more time and resources you devote to Social Media Marketing, the greater your yield! Realistically, accept that Social Media Marketing is not instantaneous.

However, you can:Drive engagement (action/commentary/feedback/sharing) with your base of passionate customersEncourage repeat businessEncourage referralsGet online endorsementsReach new customers through online, word-of-mouth marketing.
- (B2C) Dingo Pet Supply, ran a promotion in order to build community and grow their contact lists.They collected the email address of all participants,They got everyone to like them on FacebookThey didn’t have to give half the proceeds to a third party. They reached 6k+ Likes and more than 15k subscribers![Backstory: they had 330 fans on Facebook and wanted to get to 5,000. They offered a $20 certificate to everyone who Liked them on Facebook and submitted their email address through their Facebook Page using the CTCT JMML app. Customers would only be sent the $20 certificate if they helped Dingo get to 5,000 likes. Dingo promoted the campaign through Facebook, Twitter and Email and used social media to keep their followers up to date on the progress and to encourage them to share the campaign with their social media followers and even blog readers. It only took Dingo 3 days to go from 330 Likes to over 5,000 Likes. They are now running the same campaign with a target of 25,000 Likes.]
- Intro: “Raise your hands: how many people here already using Facebook? LinkedIn? Twitter? Etc.” (Effect should be: several using Facebook, less using LinkedIn and Twitter.)Let’s talk a little but about some best practices surrounding creating a presence using Social Media Marketing. First, decide where you should be. There are hundreds of social media tools and networks. Popular social media networks make it easy for small businesses and organizations get started in the social media marketing work in cost-efficient (often free!) and resourceful way. Today we will focus on the “big three” – Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. For the small business or organization just getting started, (click) it makes sense to start on Facebook. After that, the most important thing to do is ask your customers. We’ll speak to ways to do that later in the presentation…Today’s seminar will mention several of these popular tools. To get more comprehensive information about specific tools or social media in general, I encourage you to visit the Social Media page/tab on Constant Contact’s website: http://search.constantcontact.com/social mediaThere, you can find everything from: blogs, guides, Hints & Tips, podcasts, Frequently Asked Questions, and webinars that will answer all your tool-specific questions.
- Announce your new presence in your newsletter with a clear Call-to-ActionInclude standard links in every email campaignAlways include a share bar in every email. Make it effortless for your network to share your great content
- Make sure your presence looks good: make your profiles polished and professional-looking.Complete your business profile with a: description, clear contact information, your website URL, and a Join-My-Mailing-List tab/information;Include your website URLBrand the presence: add your business logo, pictures, and a backgroundAdd starter content! It’s important to populate your social media profiles with interesting, relevant content before you begin inviting folks to fan, follow, friend, and link to you.
- You know what conversations to start – they’re the same conversations that you have when you speak with a new customer, member or prospective client. Draw from your experience and expertise to facilitate conversations and exchanges amongst peers. Starting informal conversations will help you learn what is meaningful to your customers – what engages them!A simple way to begin? We’ve said it before: just say “thank you” - online, publically - to anyone to says something nice about you.
- Do you need to spend a lot of time doing social media? Good Advice from Gail Goodman, CEO of Constant Contact:“Keep your time spent in-check; doing social media right does not mean doing it a lot.”It is important to stay active: 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week is more than most small business. Probably the biggest mistake those new to social media can make it to be inconsistent with engagement. Schedule and commit time to engage with customers and prospects.If you tweet too much; people might not think you are serious about your business Note to RDDs: the statistics on the right contradicts the best practice we mention – explain this by mentioning that we at Constant Contact are anxious to dispel this myth that social media marketing done right means spending more and more time. Doing it right means NOT spending a lot of time doing it. For larger companies, the former may be true, aggregating various departmental objectives and efforts. However, for small businesses and nonprofits, we believe it can be done in significantly less time, especially when using time-saving tools like NutShellMail.
