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.

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.
