As more and more people embraced social media, 2011 saw the exponential growth of social channels like Twitter, Facebook, etc. Whether you have a small business or an MNC, a strategy for social media marketing is an absolute must. Here are a few tips.

1. All-round focus

Social media is no longer limited to Facebook and Twitter. Be present in all the services involving social media – G+, LinkdIn, etc.

2. Set your goals and deadline

Be clear about what you wish to do – increase sales, help customers, drive more traffic to a website. Then set monthly goals to be achieved.

3. Measure Results

Once you have planned the goal, then find a way to measure the results obtained. Google Analytics and Klout are two such tools.

4. Outsouce

It's easy to let employees wander off into social media, whereas they are better at sales, customer care or product designing. In cases where you don't have a dedicated SMM team or Web designers, ask your web designing firm or SMM specialists to do the job for you.

5. Share Your Social Media

Once you have your social media profiles all set up, make sure that you share the links and pages with your customers. For instance, if you have G+ business page, a Facebook fanpage and a LinkedIn  Company page all set up, print them on to your flyers, brochures, freebies, business cards, etc.
