Be Strategic With Your Content and Content Sharing on Twitter and

Facebook

Page 43: Content Marketing in 15 Minutes a Day

Facebook is Visual Use high quality imagesAvoid large file sizesRight-size your images, use rectangles not squares

Only post links that are mobile-friendly. You stand to lose over half your social audience over time if you don’t

Link directly to the action that a social post implies. Don’t make your users endure multiple clicks

Facebook and Franchises

Page 50: Content Marketing in 15 Minutes a Day

Challenge: Corporate vs. FranchiseEarly adopters out frontShow business value (more data, learn best practices from early adopters, franchise specific billing)

Local pages, streamlined comms, learning from one another, libraries of “top posts,” mass capitalization on assets

@shellykramer

Page 51: Content Marketing in 15 Minutes a Day

BenefitsCorporate brand page,1,550 local pages and 5K+ local users leads to a very rich database (customer service, menu offerings, etc.)

3.8M fans on brand level and 800K connections to fans across local pages, with less than 10% fan overlap.

Something to think about...

• As a general rule, use Twitter for fun, and for increasing brand awareness and customer service.

• Use Facebook for customer service. It's rare that anybody will Like a Facebook page unless they're already an existing customer.

Page 58: Content Marketing in 15 Minutes a Day

@ShellyKramer @MarketingProfs

Something to think about...

• Treat social networks as separate platforms, each with their strengths and limitations. Get to know their differences and make them work for you.

• Don't try to be on every social media channel. Be where your customers are.

Community Management

They call it “Community Management” for a reason.

Posting is advertising.

Community building takes more than a schedule-it-and-forget-it mentality.

Page 76: Content Marketing in 15 Minutes a Day

@ShellyKramer @MarketingProfs

You have to know how to tell a great story, genuinely like people (or act like it), pay attention to them, and regularly deliver content that keeps them coming back for more. Technology can help, but it can’t do it all.

It Takes a Human
