products• Spas

STEP 3: FIND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
Analyze STEP 2 and see where the target customer persona is present• If Persona 1 is the Target Customer – Facebook
better option• If Persona 2 is the Target Customer – LinkedIn
better option
Right social media tool enables you to :• Find the target customer persona• Reach/Target that target customer persona• A tool where the target customer persona spends a
good amount of time
MOST COMPANIES GET THIS WRONG
NOTE: The customer can only be reached on the basis of the information shared by the user with the network and the information shared by networks with us.

STEP 4: CREATE TARGET CUSTOMER PERSONAS

It is not possible to use all the social media tools
Create a priority list of social media tools to be used based on the following
1. Presence of target customer persona2. Reach with the social media tool3. Resources to use social media tool4. Budget allocated in STEP 1
A target customer persona may be using more that one social media network
Create an army of fans/followers!!.
•Think why the target customer would want to follow you?•Create content which brings value to the
customer.
Hit the passion points of the customer
Eg. A 28 year Male Indian may be passionate about cricket this is the passion point.
STEP 5: TIME TO BUILD AUDIENCE
Build an army to advocate your
brand
SOCIAL MEDIA IS WORD-OF-MOUTH ON STEROIDS
The army helps you to spread the word globally
It helps you to reach their own networks faster
It recommends your brand to build trust
