Here is some of social media marketing notes, well, micro-blog only. I am doing this in a popular Chinese micro-blog called “sina micro-blog“. In order to make it friendly for overseas visitors, I used some terms from twitter rather than sina itself.
1. Brand character matters.
If you are going to do social media marketing, make sure your ID is a kinda real person rather than a robot. So the character of your ID is important. Generally it comes from your company’s brand. It might be serious, humorous, lovely or whatever. I take IDP as a professional, official, kind, easy-going and sometimes a little bit lovely.
2. Plan of the publish of your content.
Don’t rush into the publish of your tweets. I made a plan of the content, including the frequency, category of my tweets, focus of your tweets.
Frequency: 5-10 tweets per day.
Category: #news, #staffs, #specialoffer, #reviews, #onlineevents, #retweets of excellent tweet.
3. Decoration of your account.
1.Make sure you have filled all the blanks of your profile;
2.Choose a official avatar for your account, this will make your account alive. Don’t forget to write your bio, keep it simple & accurate.
3.Tag yourself. I tagged IDP “education, AUS, USA, study abroad” etc. The tags will help 4.your fans to identify the content of your ID.
4.Target your audience.
