Services Used

It all started with this email we received from another marketing agency.

Taliah Waajid

“Hey Taliah, Would you like me to connect you with a social media specialist who I know could really help you? […] I have copied our partner Sherman on this e-mail. He owns a phenomenal social media marketing company here in town and I know he can help you with all things digital!”

As you can see, we are widely known for our social media marketing services.

So much, in fact, other marketing agencies often refer business owners to us who are looking for great social media campaigns.

After a few initial meetings and careful thought, Taliah decided to proceed forward with us.

Which is ridiculously good.

(The cost per view is a lot more effective and cost efficient than traditional TV network advertising).

Here’s a look at the $.004 engagement cost.

Here is a review that their brand manager left for us:

Taliah Waajid Review

It is safe to say that whatever we did worked, right?

But what?

It’s not as simple as many people may think.

This is was the result of careful planning and past experiences.

A Proven Social Media Management Strategy

It’s true.

Every business is different and targets a different audience.

However..

The core principles of social media marketing… grabbing a prospect’s attention and building a relationship… remains the same.

We know this because we’ve implemented the same successful approach for more than 278 clients.

Here’s at peek at one of our strategy decks:

Social Media Management

As you can see, we break our strategy down into 5 phases:

1: Research of Competitors and Customers

2: Development of Content and Growth Strategy

3: Implementation of Content and Follower Strategy

4: Measure and Reporting

5: Optimization Lifecycle

Let’s dive into the first phase

Phase 1: Research of Competitors and Customers

There are two things we are 99% sure of:

  • Your competitors are using social media for business
  • Your customers are already on social media
  • And the 1% chance they’re not…

Would give you a golden opportunity to be there first.

Otherwise, it makes strategic sense to study the behaviors of your competitors and customers prior to launching any social media campaign.

A careful look at competitors social media posts, growth and ads is good starting point to see what is working and what is not working.

When researching customers we put together a customer avatar.

The purpose of the customer avatar is to have a framework for the ideal customer’s goals, values, pain points, challenges, sources of information, objections and more.

Here’s a screenshot of how we organize the customer avatar:

Customer Avatar Example

1. Goals and values: What does the customer want from himself? Family? Friends?

2. Pain points and challenges: What is the customer frustrated with? What prevents the customer from reaching their goals?

3. Sources of information: This is info about where your ideal customer is hanging out online. What blogs are they reading? What conferences do they attend?

4. Objections to the sale: Why would the target audience say no to your product? Is it time? Cost? Difficulty to use? Lack of perceived value?

This information allows us to put together a content strategy that will speak directly to that audience.

This is key to grabbing and keep the target audience’s attention.

Phase 2: Development of Content and Growth Strategy

Usually, once the research is done amateurs dive straight into managing their social media campaign.

Don’t make this mistake.

Here’s what we do..

After research, we begin to work on a content calendar.

This content will shed light on what posts we are creating, on what days and why.

It helps make the process transparent for everyone and works towards a consistent model of social media publishing.

In addition, we begin to map out a growth strategy. This usually explains which tactics we will employ in order to build the fans and followers of the brand.

Phase 3: Implementation of Content and Growth Strategy

This is what our clients like the most.

The idea of not having to worry about creating posts, building fans, responding to every message and so on…

Here’s an example of our typical timeline:

After contract signed…

Week 1: Team Kickoff Call and Setup.
Week 2: LYFE Works on Research, Strategy, and Deliverables (posts and ads)
Week 3: Edits, Review, and Approval of Deliverables (potentially launch)
Week 4: Launch Social Media Campaign
Week 5: Early Checkup and Status
Week 8: First Monthly Review Call

Phase 4: Measurement and Reporting

Many people try social media…

Fail..

Then say something like:

“Social media marketing does not work for my business.”

Usually.. this is not true.

Most people give up too quickly or don’t know how to measure their progress.

Even if the business is in a narrow lane, you can still create advantages with social retargeting audiences (pro tip).

Therefore, the major key to success in digital marketing is tracking and measurement!

Social media is a very complex marketing channel.

This is because there are so many strategies you can employ on each platform like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Plus and so on

That is why you MUST track your results against your goals.

In addition, we give our client’s access to a custom social media system that allows them to keep up with the progress 24/7… with the ability tracking every single interaction point.

Here are some screenshots of our tracking and reporting system…

Phase 5: Optimization Lifecycle

LYFE strives to improve results month over month.

Every team member is dedicated to generating results to help our clients grow.

We study the report and look for ways to optimize/improve for the next month.

For example, if find that educational posts are performing the best then we will spend more time to create educational posts.

The goal of this phase is to make sure we are aware of what’s working and to optimize towards those things to improve results.

Conclusion

Taliah Waajid’s products are so uniquely crafted that you can surely find people who will be interested in them. However, engaging these prospects and establishing a solid base of followers is a different story. It takes a carefully planned social media management plan to be able to achieve this. So what our social media team did was to target these prospects, build a connection with them, and create engaging content to keep them coming back for more. And what were the results? Well, we were able to engage over 260 thousand users at only $0.004 per engagement!
