There are hundreds of social media agency who project themselves as ‘expert’ in the networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and in other social media sites. So how do you decide on an agency? To trust your agency, you need to ask questions and listen to what they say—and do not say—when they answer.
Here are a few things you need to consider before handing over marketing dollars to an agency that can make or break your image online. As someone searching for a digital marketing agency, one can always be torn between choosing a reputed organization over a nascent one with a scope of working on fresh ideas.
There are also challenges faced by companies when opting for Social Media Marketing Campaigns.
In today’s digital age, social media is one of the key factors for the success of a business. Having said, it is imperative for the social media marketing agency to develop a strategy to suit the needs and objectives of the client.
Consider these few points when choosing a social media marketing agency:
- Research- Is the media marketing agency willing to understand your business, customers, and the goals of your business? It should be a goal of that marketing agency to understand what information your customers want or what information needs to be posted to attract complete strangers who are seeking an answer to a problem that they have.
- Time Management- Does your agency have time to post relevant information across all social media platforms on a regular basis? Posting relevant information is essential because a potential customer will search for product or service that you offer in platforms like Google+, LinkedIn, or other relevant social media platforms. The more places your message can be seen, the better.
- The Design- Each social media account should be visually appealing with professionally designed images. It does not go well with your reader if the logo in your profile picture or cover photo is cut off because the dimensions are not right. And thus, there is a need to have graphics team with the social media marketing agency that understands the personality of your business.
- Link building- Social media is huge when it comes to driving traffic to your website. If posted correctly, a post will grab viewer’s attention and then have a ‘Call-To-Action’ to lead that viewer to your website for more information.
- Return On Investment- And finally before the payment to the social media marketing agency, you want to know if they will increase your brand awareness, drive more traffic to your website, promote your products/services, and much more. Last but not the least, there is a need for constant interaction between you and the agency.
Logicspeak:
One of the most important criteria is about having an agency on board, who is approachable and transparent at all times. The agency has to update you with the latest development, trends, should inform you pros & cons of the strategies and give you realistic expectations.
