- Define your goals by setting realistic expectations. What are you hoping to accomplish with social media? There can be more than one goal. Be realistic. Companies that commit end up not accomplishing anything. One idea is to start small by offering a social media only promotion and aiming for a specific number of 10-12 persons that act on a deal. This is specific and manageable. Define your Audience. Who are you trying to reach? Be specific about a demographic. Defining who you are trying to reach assists with what type of social networks to be on.Define Success Metrics What will you track and how will you determine success? Execute. Review. Revise. Execute. Create profiles on your desired social networking profiles, then plan posts that you want to make for the upcoming 3-4 weeks.
