Post It!

50 pictures clicked with one to post.

Countless captions deleted.

Constant overthinking with a dilemma to post or not.

Whether the audience would appreciate or not.

Whether it would have enough engagement or not.

Does any of this give you a clearer picture of what works?

You cannot predict anything.

You don’t know what works.

All you can do is…

Post It.

That’s it.

If you really want to post it, then just do it.

Click that post button.

Don’t hesitate for a second.

No matter what anyone thinks or how they react.

763 followers.

What would you rather prefer?

763 followers or 18,000 followers?

The sight of 18,000 followers is appealing, right?

Let me take it to a deeper level.

What if I told you, that you’re posting content about art and 760 out of the 763 followers are art enthusiasts who are likely to engage with you, probably buy whatever you’re selling and possibly collaborate with you for something new.

At the same time, speaking of the 18,000 followers, only 262 are interested in art and 9,732 aren’t interested at all, would you care for this audience?

That is what the social media platforms are about.

The numbers are hyped up, but when you look at the reality, you understand how the game works.

Let me ask you again, what would you rather have – 763 followers or 18,000 followers?

What Social Media is not!

Social Media is the current, most effective hot trend when it comes to communications for people and brands.

You can brand yourself, reach to your target audience, cost-effectively and increase your sales too.

However, even with this disproportionate advantage that social media provides us, we have brought it down to a lot of things it is not.

• a game of likes

the higher the number of likes, the more effective the campaign has been

• a platform of followers

the more the number of followers, the more famous your brand is

• using sales as the method to grow and then calling the process inefficient
• posting pictures without context

another factor when it comes to lack of planning

• lack of experimentation

using your personal opinion as the answer for all probable and unproven steps – for example, people having the impression of writing only short captions when it comes to Instagram.

For someone to truly understand the power of social media, for what it is, how useful and practical it can be, takes a lot of planning, strategies, experiments and convincing.

This is one of the reasons why I started Zazz Media, to effectively utilise what’s at hand and use it in the best possible manner.

When it comes to social media marketing, one thing I’ve always focused on and said time and again is not to focus on the obvious and look at the bigger picture.

A 1000 likes on your picture is not the success metric, but 40 likes from your target audience are.

Learn, understand, experiment and reap the rewards!

Social Media Consultations

We plan, strategise and create a social media plan for you, whether it’s your professional brand or your personal brand.

This plan usually occurs in two situations,
1. When the ideas are so intricate, you need someone constantly present to administer them. In such a scenario, the in-house hiring performs the daily execution.
2. When the client has a team to execute, but they lack the long-term planning and strategy needed to create an online brand.
–
This plan is a long, intricate, detailed map covering the brands’ footprints on every social media platform required for them, and how to execute at each of them.

With this system, the client will need someone to execute it and not play a role in anything else. Right from the kind of posts, the timings followed while posting, the hashtags to use, the plan comprises everything.

Handling your social media on your own?

A brand’s social media development is like planting a tree! It’s not a day’s worth of your time and neither is it a month’s worth of your time. For it to give you the results you need, you need to spend months and months and years of proper planning, implementation and execution for it to reach its true level.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where social media agencies come into the picture! There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into the management of your pages across the social media platforms. Agencies charge what they charge because of the strategies they create and the planning and efforts behind every online campaign.
.
.
Now the question is, whether you (as the brand owner) have the time or the expertise to maintain your presence digitally whilst you take care of your sales/ customers on an offline basis or whether you should give that responsibility to someone who would take that entire workload off you and do it professionally for your brand! Ultimately, the decision is yours.

P.S. I own a social media agency @zazzmedia – let me know if I can provide any value to you in this sector.

If you aren’t using social media, you’re not in the game!

People avoid creating websites and significantly more who have yet to establish their brand’s profile on the available social media platforms.

Nowadays, with almost everyone having a smartphone, the tendency of people paying attention to a billboard or a brochure/ pamphlet has gone way down! The way to attract people to your brand/ product/ service is through the digital options out there.

It’s an era of the smartphone! If your brand isn’t digital, then you won’t stay relevant soon.

Every brand needs to stay active on social media, provide content on an everyday basis and connect with their audience as much as possible. On a macro level, this will work out perfectly for your brand. Here’s why?

• You would have an online fan-following, who will also be your future customers. 
• They will in-turn share the valuable content with their network, thus reaching out to more people for you. 
• This would also increase the company’s revenue on a macro level, just by investing a percentage of that revenue on the marketing budget.

Forget the ‘ask’ initially and try focusing on building your audience first. Just focus on providing value!

If you aren’t using social media to your advantage, simply put, you’re losing out. It applies to your personal brand as well as your corporate brand. It is quite surprising to see that some brands are still hesitant to be on social media, even in this day and age.

After a few years, the next big thing would take over, and the era of social media might decline! Who would want to take that risk? Now is the ideal time, to jump in, and make its best use, as much as possible.

Go digital or go irrelevant!

Importance of Social Media for your Brand

In today’s day and age, social media is the most important tool to focus on for your personal and corporate brand.

With exceptions to some, every brand needs to stay active on social media, provide content on an everyday basis and connect with their audience as much as possible. On a macro level, this will work out perfectly for your brand. Here’s why?

1. You would have an online fan-following, who will also be your future customers.
2. They will in-turn share the valuable content with their network, thus reaching out to more people for you.
3. This would also increase the company’s revenue on a macro level, just by investing a percentage of that revenue on the marketing budget.

Good Content always wins the long-term game of social media. You need to stay patient and be active on social media. You need to hire a good agency capable of performing this process professionally.
