Planting Your Message With Social Media

Social media, like today's soft rain on dry ground, soaks down thru layers, spreads out and nurtures your business.

Like a farmer wanting a good harvest, you need to plan:

• where you will place your message


• when will you place it


• what will you say


• how frequently will you say it.

You need to find a balance. Posting too frequently can annoy your audience and turn them off, too little and they can forget you.

It may seem overwhelming, for it can be. Help is available through outsourcing. Virtual assistants/social media mavens can get you started and keep you social media marketing refreshed. Be sure your assistant understands social media marketing, as well as, your business voice. Finding your voice and expressing it is my specialty. If I can help you, let me know.

Cracker Barrel Marketing

Social Media Marketing is time consuming. There is no doubt about It. It’s time consuming because it isn’t just having customers drop by to make a purchase. It’s setting up your “cracker barrels”, putting on the coffee and tea and taking the time and effort to make relationships. It’s talking to people and, more importantly, it’s listening to your customers. There's no better way to find out what they need and how you can help them.

Every year there is an increase in online buying. When you shop online, don’t you feel reassured when you can read positive reviews of a company or hear good things about them from someone you know? I know I do. Searching on the internet for information on products and services is becoming more and more frequent. That’s one reason to get your information out through social media marketing. Setting things up, getting started and being consistent all take time. The benefits outweigh the effort though. And, there are virtual assistants out there who specialize in helping you create a great social media campaign. I’m one who would be happy to help you. jfouchaux@gmail.com
