How to Define Your Brand through Social Media
There are several different ways that social media can help you market your business or brand. Of these, using social media to brand yourself and to further spread your branding to your target market is one of the most effective.
When you create a social media presence, you're creating one of the first impressions that many potential customers will have of you. This is a bit like an online profile, as people will use it to learn more about you and what you do.
Here are some ways that you can define your brand through social media:
Define your objective - First you should know what you hope to achieve when people do an online search for your brand name. You must know your objective in order to create goals and then plans to reach those goals successfully.
Create your positioning statement - A positioning statement is a summary of who you are and what you do. You should keep your audience in mind when creating your statement. Describe how you are different from your competitors.
Identify your areas of expertise - Break down your expertise into three specific areas. Who do you help? How do you help them? What pain points do you solve? Make it clear who you are and what you want to be known for.
Be consistent - Your name and branding should be consistent across all of the Web. This means every website, social media platform or other tool you use to brand online should have consistent brand themes. People should be able to quickly and easily tell that it's you when they see your profile somewhere online.
Connect - Finally, you need to connect with your audience in a meaningful way. This will go far to define your brand, your purpose, and your goals. People buy from brands they trust and your connections will build trust.
