How To Run A Successful Marketing Campaign on Social Media

To be a successful person in marketing without a strong strategy you may never be able to achieve your marketing goals. Besides, there are some others important factors which require your deep involvement such as friendly relationship with employees, necessary training of team members, passion to pursue goals, collaboration and utilization of latest tools. All of these factors are considered to be integral parts of an effective organization.

Let’s take the example of a marketing plan and its execution to understand why you need to have these organizational qualities in your business structure. For example, you have a well-designed marketing plan, but don’t know how to execute it without a team of efficient and dedicated members, can you expect to get great results? Not at all.

In case your company’s internal matters are not well organized and you don’t have right policies, this will be extremely difficult for you to executive your campaign. Therefore, productivity and organization within your business structure must be well managed and if they are not, you can’t take the advantage of social media marketing campaigns no matter how much you spend. Therefore, you must develop at least these five organizational traits in your company.

Trait 1: Develop Strong Relationships with Employees

You might have known that building strong relationship with social fans and followers is quite important to be successful on every type of social networks. However, this relationship building approach should begin from your own office employees. If you claim to be a business leader, you should build good relationship with your employees, coworkers and partners as this will help you increase productivity which will be seen in every aspect of your marketing campaign including social networks.

Trait 2: Make Arrangement for Training of Staff

Another important thing which is also related to employees is professional training. If your employees are well aware with company procedures and policies but they are not trained to deal with other phases of marketing and advertising, your company will suffer due to their weaknesses. Most of your employees should have basic training in certain areas including administration, development, programming and other soft skills in IT Sector. There are not many companies which are kind enough to support their employees with time and money in certain areas where they need training but those who have provided training opportunities to their workers have seen good results.

Trait 3: Develop Passion to Pursue Goals

One major reason for failure of social media strategies is less passion among workers. When you are not very passionate about your social mission, you can easily be noticed by your followers who will definitely take an absolutely wrong impression. The lack of passion among employees is created due to various negative factors such as inadequate training, unfavorable circumstances, disappointments, lower expectations from managements, unfriendly or rude behaviour of the bosses etc. The best way to deal with this problem is to bring excitement among your workers and create enthusiasm for accomplishment of the mission. Give them hope for a better future with your company.

Trait 4: Setup An Effective Communication System

As a great organizational tool, you must stay full connected with your followers as well as your team who should know that their leader is with them and fully aware of each and every thing going around. Smooth and constant collaboration is quite important for flawless connectivity with team members. To ensure 100% functionality of an effective communication, you must have reliable networks, digital tools and other necessary resources. You can easily find various time tracking devices and project management tools which will be quite effective in creating a strong communication system within your organization.

Trait 5: Ensure Integration of Latest Digital Tools

The Internet is the place where you can access thousands of tools to boost the level of productivity in your social marketing and advertising campaigns. There are websites which can help you get unlimited number of photos without worrying about sizing and copyright issues. Similarly, there are various monitoring tools which will help you keep constant monitoring of social networks. An effective monitoring will allow you to get more engagement and more traffic to your websites and social profiles. …

Recent Changes in SEO in 2017

googleMany webmasters and online marketers have already adapted to the ever-changing behavior of the Google algorithm.

However, the changes this year have impacted website rankings and user experience more than ever.

We are not in the early stages of search anymore.

It is just appropriate that Google has made changes to serve both webmasters and users as they keep on improving their product.

Witnessing new trends and practices should be performed if you want to garner a spot on the first page of the SERPs.

Here are the most significant changes that could affect your ranking and user experience.

Mobile-First Index Taking Over

The use of smartphones has become a substantial contributing factor why Google has released their mobile-first index update. In fact almost every notable change they have introduced over the last year was relevant to the experience of mobile users.

This is how it works. When a mobile user searches for a query, Google will display the mobile results and not the desktop results. It means if your website is not optimized for mobile use, it will not rank well in the SERP for the smartphone user.

HTTPS Warning In Chrome

Google has now started warning users whenever they enter sites that are not HTTPS encrypted. Although this is happening, the user can still enter such a non https site and access the data in it if they want to. But the warning label from the browser exists to caution users when entering their sensitive information such as credit cards, passwords or even personal addresses.

This is not exactly new as Google has taken appropriate actions to warn users about sites without HTTPS encryption. However, this increase in security ensures authentication and provides data integrity. It means there is an assurance that the website you are trying to visit belongs to a real company. This update also puts more pressure on other webmasters to move to the HTTPS standard.

Increased Focus on Speed For Mobile Use

Many mobile users would agree that it is frustrating to wait for a page to load. Users want speed. To fight this issue, companies like Twitter, WordPress, Google and many others devised the AMP project or also called as the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project.

By applying AMP, you can create web pages that will render incredibly fast on smartphones. What it does is it creates a more lightweight duplicate of the original version of the page wherein HTML is stripped down and simplified.

Demand For Quality and Original Content

For years, Google has made its intent of, if not eradicating, at least cutting down on spammy content. If you look back, creating content usually revolves around the most relevant keyword you want to optimize for. Today, it is now essential to create meaningful and original content for users.

To produce the best content possible, you must look at three things – keywords, length, and comprehensiveness. The title should have the keyword, and the meta descriptions should be optimized to serve the users.

Google also looks at the length of the posts. It is essential that you cover the entirety of a topic for the post to rank well. Lastly, the posts should be comprehensive enough for the users. Conversational posts often encourage user engagement.

One thing we can expect from Google is that their algorithm will continue to change, with the new changes this year, nobody can tell what the next developments will be.…
