Poor targeting

Before launching a campaign on social media, the right course of
action should be identifying and appropriating your focus toward
the right audience. This means you will end up whittling your focus
to a narrow but ideal number of leads. These leads should be
qualified by some of the following criteria:

  • Demographics: Use factors like income bracket,
    age group, educational qualifications, job role and location to
    determine this. A perfect tool is
    Facebook Audience Insights
    .
  • Psychographics: While this is not often
    mentioned in social media marketing circles, basing your targeting
    on such factors as taste, aspirations and values of your audience
    can help your content formation process. This will result in you
    creating content that truly hits home with your leads on social
    media.
  • Pain points: Your social media marketing is
    instantly rendered weak the moment your ad shows to users who feel
    no passion for what you’re promoting. Given that social media
    provides for little space to canvas users, targeting customers with
    no desire for your offering will result in a weak campaign.
