However it is essential to know exactly where your potential customers are most likely to be active.<\/p><p>The reality is unless you are a big business such as Tesco or John Lewis who can be across multiple platforms, you will need to be selective with your time and resource put to running an effective social media marketing strategy. Therefore, it is recommended to identify which social network or select few your desired audience are spending time on.<\/p><p>This could be for example Facebook users, present on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, PinInterest or X (formerly Twitter), or more recently Threads. Amongst many others to consider. It is important to note each of these social media channels all have different focuses.<\/p><p>Instagram and PinInterest are heavily visual focused, therefore suiting businesses with standout product or business photography will be ideal for their social strategy. Equally the same applies for short form videos which are popular on Instagram, to incorporate into the content calendar.<\/p><p>For businesses who are business-to-business then LinkedIn is necessary as part of their social media marketing campaign. With a survey finding 4 out of 5 LinkedIn members drive purchase decisions.
