Social Media Channel Plan

3-keys web solutionhttp://www.3-keys.com Visual content can act as a “gateway” to more valuable content. When planning visual content to post on social platforms, think in terms of how it can drive traffic back to your website. So many organizations feel overwhelmed by the need to create content for every social media channel on the planet. Or worse yet, many brands create one type of content and then blast that content onto every social platform. If that’s you, you need a social media channel plan. Most likely, your goals are different on each social platform. Since that’s the case, the content you develop for that platform needs to be different as well. Here are the components for your channel plan. The Channel (social media platform) The Persona (target audience) The Goal (Sales goal, cost-savings goal, Branding) Primary Content Type (Textual, visual, infographics?) Structure (Visual and emotive feel) Channel Integration (How will this channel work with your other channels for maximum impact) Desired Action (What user behavior do you want to achieve?) Editorial Plan (Every channel needs its own editorial calendar.) And this is exactly why content marketing isn’t easy. But if you leverage a social media channel plan correctly, you’ll [...]

Metrics: Is Your Website Working For You as your Marketing Tool

Contrary to popular belief, a website is not a black hole that sucks away money and gives nothing back. Many business owners feel that they keep pumping money into their websites without knowing exactly what they are paying for. Exactly what does monthly linkbuilding or blogging get them anyways? Is any of this actually generating new business? All of these questions can be answered with one simple word: metrics. Website metrics is a way to measure and analyzing your site’s performance. Metrics will tell you how many visits your website gets, where those visits are coming from, what content is the most popular, and so forth. There are several ways to measure traffic on your site but the easiest way is Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a simple snippet of code that you put on every page of your website that you wish to track. The code is not visible on the page, but it does record the volume of traffic to your site, the pages visited, and more. You can then review the information on the Google Analytics Dashboard.

Exhibition design considerations

The right exhibit design supports your business goals and will best serve your marketing and sales efforts. While your display should look good from every angle on the show floor, it should also be oriented to face the heaviest flows of traffic. Graphics are the most important factor of your display. Graphics attract attention, convey your business message and build identity of your brand, complementing your marketing strategy, and presenting a unified and cohesive message. Draw visitors to you with commanding graphics at high points where they may be viewed from a distance and ensure that you’re visible from every direction. An open design is easily accessible from multiple entry points, welcoming to potential clients and offers easy visitor flow within your space. Use something or someone to attract passersby and encourage them to stop. The attraction you choose may involve one or more of the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Studies indicate that a display featuring an activity creates more memorability than a static one. Highlighting new and popular products is essential. Which products you need in your exhibit, their sizes and quantities will guide where and how to show them to their best sales advantage. [...]
