“Our vision is to create a digital space where people will find and share guidance, resources and

discussion about babies, like picture and video sharing, but also, interaction for advice. This is aimed

at increasing our awareness and

credibility through showing our understanding of key issues and developments in the matter.”

This could be an example of vision

Page 8: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Around 10 qualified leads generated in the second half of the year

Increased visibility for HiBaby, generating at least 1,000 Twitter followers and 1,500 additional visits a month to the HiBaby website from social media.

Broaden thought-leadership shown across the industry, through writing at least 6 guest posts on industry news sites and blogs

Relationships nurtured with potential clients by achieving at least 500 downloads of a PDF guide; adding at least 500 names to our email database, and staying in contact with them through monthly newsletter

Page 10: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

ABOUT THE TARGET AUDIENCE Working together with the management team and interviews with current and potential customers, we can develop some

‘Buyer personas’ who represent our ideal targets for this

social media campaign.

Page 11: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Research-based archetypal (modeled) representations of who buyers are, what they are

trying to accomplish, what goals drive their behavior, how they think, how they buy,

and why they make buying decisions.

HELP HIBABY GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF

BUYERS AND THEIR BUYING BEHAVIORS

THIS HELPFUL UNDERSTANDING IS AIMED AT INFORMING DECISIONS ON

MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGIES

WHAT ARE BUYER PERSONAS?

Page 12: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

STRATEGY

Page 13: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Content: To publish information that is genuinely useful to potential clients, for the mission statement, drawing them closer to us and establishing us as experts in our field

Audience: To target the three groups represented by the buyer personas

Interaction: To use the social media platforms to interact with our target clientele by using social media to push potential clients towards our ‘home ground’, the website, the Facebook page, the twitter account and perhaps a new blog where they can learn more about our services

Convert: To collect their email addresses or contact details to identify prospects and discuss our services with them further. Encourage download of the company videos and a new pdf brochure.

To actively pursue opportunities to write on other popular forums and sites in our industry (press coverage)

Page 14: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Start implementing points 1-4 of the long-term strategy

Start working in the social media platforms that are missing

Focus on establishing a smooth procedure for the production of blog posts and longer written material, including a schedule

Build up a very strong core of at least 150 relevant Twitter accounts to follow and target as potential clients

Spend time daily browsing Twitter and Facebook feeds, as well as relevant blogs in the industry, to familiarize ourselves with the platforms

Page 15: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Time: 1 hour 30 minutes / day (including blog writing, ideal by various staff members); not including development of social media schedule) + 3 hours a month to produce newsletter Budget: 5 euros / week for photos

IT WOULD BE GOOD TO REEVALUATE THE STRATEGY IN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS

Framework and platforms

TARGETING KEY PLATFORMS

Page 16: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

The blog could a good focus for our social media strategy. It will house all the main original content, and we will use the other social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest…) to drive visitors to it.

The fast goal for the blog is to learn how to use it, to produce the right kinds of material and to begin to build up our visitor numbers. In the future, it can be used to generate enquiries, to get visitors’ details and build up your email list.

REQUIREMENTS

The blog will be built in easy-to-update Wordpress using a modified

existing theme tailored to HiBaby’s branding, or (for best results) a a HiBaby specific theme that could be designed by the website designer.

There will be a facility for visitor comments

The design must take into account that we may wish to advertise a free

PDF or other resource through the blog to spread all over the audience.

Each blog post will include a good-quality picture from Fotolia or similar

site online, free images can be used with good results, but for a small quantity you can get stunning images.

Paragraphs will be short

Page 19: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Post frequency: A post a week (to start with) Days: Experiment to see which day attracts most traffic: we could try Mondays in February, Wednesdays in March and Thursdays in April Time: Experimenting with time I can see what works better Comments: Set up an email notification system so we can respond to comments as soon as they are posted

When to post

Page 20: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

The goal of the blog posts would be to provide information and advice that our target groups find genuinely useful.

The focus must be on helping with their problems and goals, not writing only about the app. Material directly about the company should make up no more than one in four blog posts.

Schedule one post a month for each of our target groups

Try to include relevant key words for SEO purposes

At the end of every post, include the next step we want them to take to engage more closely: for example, a link to another relevant post, or to an advertised job.

Each post should include a large, related picture

Define a set of 10-15 hashtags to highlight the content we’re sharing

What to write

Page 21: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Each post will be linked to the social media on Twitter,

Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Google plus…

Include key words in each post that will help SEO

Links to be sent to contacts in monthly newsletter

Include a link to the blog on employees’ email signatures, all presentations, to spread it efficiently.

Page 22: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

PURPOSES

To expand the reach of the brand and show that we are thought-leaders To drive traffic back to the blog and other social media To engage with potential clients

KEYS Post material that is of genuine interest to the target audience. Follow people who are of potential interest to us, both in the hope that they will follow us back, and so that we can respond to their own tweets and build up a relationship with them.

Tone: Professional, friendly, entertaining, slightly opinionated

Page 25: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Monday – Friday (at the beginning)

Try different combinations through the week to see the response Space out tweets evenly throughout the day Post the link to the blog once a day each week, at different times of the day (and with slightly different titles)

When to post

Page 26: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

One link daily to that week’s blog post

Three links to third-party material. These can be retweets (not from competitors) or links to articles, videos, photos that are of interest

Two original messages that will interest our target audiences: Tips Facts

Questions that spark conversation

Observations about the industry

Comment about something related to babies

#FF (Follow Friday) – link to someone with whom we are trying to engage

The themes outlined for the blog should be used as guidelines for our Twitter content as well

What to write

Page 27: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

Build up strong core of people HiBaby follows in order to interact with

them and (possibly) get followed in return

Use Twitter’s list feature to track particularly important potential

clients and contacts, and interact with them often

Use baby hashtags so that we are easily found

Make sure that buttons / links to the Twitter account are clearly

visible on staff’s business cards, email signatures, the blog and other

pages like HiBaby website

Page 28: Social Media Marketing Plan Sample

WHO TO TARGET

Anyone fitting into the buyer personas Accounts belonging to parents or

people with baby profile pictures

Influential Twitter users in the sector

Competitors

HOW TO FIND THEM Search for specific companies / names we already know we want to target

Find existing clients who fit the profile and see who they are interacting with

See who is using baby-related hashtags (#) Use Klout to see who is influential in the

industry

HOW TO INTERACT WITH THEM

Daily, reply to at least three posts by groups one and two and influential Twitter users (do not reply to rivals).

Separate the top 50 people with whom we would like to work into a list (can be hidden from the public) and check it every day in order to interact with them.

media channel has to have its own strategy.
