Global Mobile statisticsThe increase in the number of mobile cell phones in the world has been impressive. The graph below shows subscriber growth between 2005 and early 2013, according to ITU figures. The 6.8 billion subscribers are approaching the 7.1 billion world population. The graph shows that as world mobile-cellular penetration approaches 100%, market saturation grows and the growth rate decreases.

Social Media – Where should you be?
Mozambique
• a social networking website for people in professional occupations. • as of 2 July 2013, Quantcast reports LinkedIn has 184 million global users per month• LinkedIn is an extremely useful tool for recruiting, job hunting and networking. With recent changes its also a good place for public awareness and advocacy, as they are adopting a Facebook-style approach to their Company pages
My Recommendation: It’s another important way to engage with your audience and help control the way your audience perceives your company. You will reach a more professional follower base and will be very useful for future job announcements. It will also help increase your company online recognition and reach.
Setting up a LinkedIn Company Page
• is an online photo-sharing, video-sharing (15s) and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. • On February 27, 2013, Instagram announced that they had 100 million active users a month• Instagram is a cellphone only services, but can be accessed via browser for browsing purposes and not for uploads
My Recommendation: Instagram was developed to be used by cell phones and not personal computers; You will need also to set it up on cell phones of colleagues/staff travelling to the field for this to make sense; this would work like a visual twitter; Best Global channels (ex: UNICEF) should be studied to better understand how you should approach in terms of content, campaign and competitions strategy; There is still no option to find out the number of users in Mozambique. You could give it a trial phase of 3 months and see what happens.

Social Media – Where should you be?
Mozambique
• the top social networking website. At the end of January 2014, 1.23 billion users were active on Facebook.
My Recommendation: This is a no brainer, you must have a Facebook page for your business. What Works: Factographs, asking for actions, photos, short strong messages, asking questions, Did you know? posts, embedding videos (instead of referring to YouTube), fast response time to comments and messages, Liking shares from our content, daily monitoring of the Facebook Insights to see what worked and what didn’t. Max 2 posts per day. You should at one point learn about Facebook advertising and power editor.
Setting up a Facebook Page
• an online social networking and microblogging service with 500 million registered users in 2012, who posted 340 million tweets per day. Great for discussions, and to increase the reach of your messages
My Recommendation: Another no brainer, you should have a Twitter account for your business also. What Works: Short strong messages, max 4 tweets per day, Re-twetting key messages from other key-related pages, daily monitoring, posting after 4PM, Mentions (using @), key hashtags to join trending conversations. Using hootsuite.com is recommended. Also

Social Media – Where should you be?
OTHER KEY SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS
YouTube: 3rd most visited website on the web. Big potential for viral videos
What Works: Short videos (3minutes or less), videos with captions so not to alienate anyone, High quality videos, using key/trending keywords for the title and description of videos, sharing videos on other social media channels.
How to open a YouTube channel in 5 minutes
Pinterest/Google Plus: The main reason to keep focusing on these two channels is due to the SEO return you get from posting on Google Plus, and the different reach (more female) and link referrals you get on Pinterest.
What Works: Strong visuals, short messages, posting after 6PM, Factographs, hashtags. On Pinterest try and search/join/pin to open boards related to your business and with high follower base. On Google Plus arrange from time to time a Google hangout for your business.

Facebook: final thoughts
• Content is king. Quality Content is key. • Prepare weekly content packages, this way you can guarantee quality, and be prepared to respond to possible comments and during some key campaigns we can share this we other country offices • Involve key staff from your company to support in responding to key comments.
• Negative Feedback: Have always a plan/content archive for responding to negative feedbacks, and possible future attacks and post spams
• Quality Photos/Video: Aim to use a nice high res photo or a good quality video, as the new algorithm favorites these types of posts
• Webinars: follow key Facebook personalities (ex: Mari Smith, Social Media Examiner) and attend webinars for increase knowledge and understanding of key Facebook updates and strategies
• Ensure knowledge transfer: Prepare documents on how to use each social media platform for staff members for when the administrator is away (must have more than one administrator on the page).
• You don’t own any information on Facebook, so it’s wise to always use a subscription tab to allow your fans to subscribe to our mailing list, so we don’t loose the connection in future.
