Plan for a Social Media Marketing Course
Social media marketing is crucial as it goes far beyond social media presence. It includes strategies to attract customers, generate leads, increase sales and drive business success. It uses the multiple possibilities of social media to achieve business goals.
Social media and social media marketing are two closely related yet distinct concepts:
Social Media:
Definition: Social media refers to online platforms and websites where users can create, share and interact with content. These platforms allow people to connect online and share information, images, videos and news.
Goal: The main goal of social media is social interaction and information sharing between users. It is used to maintain relationships, keep in touch with friends and family, share news and follow trends.
Social Media Marketing:
Definition: Social media marketing is a specific marketing strategy that uses social media platforms to achieve targeted marketing objectives. It is the use of social media as an advertising platform to increase visibility, reach and engagement for a brand, product or service.
Goal: The main goal of social media marketing is to achieve marketing objectives such as increasing sales, generating leads, increasing brand awareness, building customer loyalty and promoting products or services.
Main differences:
Goal and purpose: Social media aims to enable social interactions and information sharing, while social media marketing aims to achieve business goals by using social media as an advertising platform.
Content and activities: Social media is about creating and sharing personal content and experiences, while social media marketing involves professionally created content and marketing activities.
Measurability: Social media marketing can be measured by metrics such as conversions, clicks, likes, follower counts and ROI (return on investment), while success in social media is often measured in terms of interactions and reach.
Target group: In social media, people mainly interact with friends, family and other users, while in social media marketing the target group is a company’s customers or potential customers.
Although social media and social media marketing have different purposes, they are often linked. Companies use social media platforms as channels for their marketing to connect with their target audience and achieve marketing goals. Of course, we market ourselves every time we post something on social media.
