Social media in particular has been a game changer for brand building, customer relations, and customer satisfaction. Shoppers are increasingly turning to social media for retail and often look for help with buying decisions. With that shift, consumers have paved a new purchase journey for retailers to follow. Many businesses adopting social media as a promotional mechanism often only use social media as if it were a traditional one-way ad instead of a two-way communication channel.
The following are several common types of business messages in social media that attract customer activity:
- Promotions and discounts
- Latest product information
- Customer support
- Entertaining content
- Ability for customers to offer feedback
Your task is to submit a 2-3 page paper describing your business message business message and explaining what the best social media channel to present this message. This assignment has two parts - writing a business message, and analyzing, justifying, and evaluating which social media channel you should use to present the business message.
Question 1: To create your business message first decide on one goal: a) Increase sales or b) Build affinity with your customers. You can use the bullet points above and any content from this module to decide on the type of business message you want to share.
Question 2: Choose a social media that best fits your message-you can use any social media channel presented in this module. In 2-3 pages, explain/analyze why this social media channel is the right one for the message (this could be why the other options are not good). Explain how you would you measure if the message was successful (because what is the point if it isn't successful?). In your paper you should also describe how a successful business message presented on social media can impact customer loyalty, customer retention, and expand publicity. Make sure you cite any sources sources.
