One of Promotion LA’s main services is marketing, and we specifically offer social media marketing and create in-depth, flawless social media campaigns for our clients. These social media campaigns encompass paid and organic social media, ads and more. Let’s take a look at what social media campaigns are and an example of a campaign that we currently offer one of our clients.

Social Media Campaigns

First, a social media campaign is a coordinated marketing effort that attempts to reinforce information about a product, service or brand through at least one social media platform. Social media campaigns are the core part of social media marketing, as they can be low-cost and impactful.

What sets social media campaigns apart from everyday social media posting is two key points:

1. They are strategically focused towards the target audience that makes them feel or act a certain way.

2. They have some form of measurable or tracked outcome so you can know if the campaign is successful or not. If you can’t measure the campaign’s success, then what is the point of having it in the first place?

Social Media Campaign Goals and Platforms

As mentioned above, social media campaigns exist to reinforce information about a product, service or brand. However, the specific goal of a business will drive how the information is portrayed to the target audience.

For example, if your goal is to increase web traffic or drive sales or create brand loyalty, the message will be different in each situation. More importantly, your message will also defer depending on the platform used.

Currently, there are dozens and dozens of social media platforms in the world, but the big ones are Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit and LinkedIn. Depending on the platform used, your information will need to be altered in a unique, fresh way; don’t repeat the same information and content across numerous platforms. This looks lazy and bland.

Keep in mind that social media campaigns often see better results when more than one social media platform is used.

Social Media Campaign Musts

When creating a social media campaign, there are a few details that need to occur so you can have a successful campaign.

The first is that it needs to reflect the company’s brand through and through. If your target audience doesn’t know who is pushing the information out, you need to revamp your campaign.

Your campaign should also be simple and get straight to the point. Even if you have more than one goal for your social media campaign, don’t cram it all into one campaign. Stick with one goal or message per campaign and flesh that message out completely.

Lastly, your campaign should be memorable and make the target audience feel connected to your campaign. There are many ways to do this, but the best route is by giving your followers some type of action to do, whether it’s taking a poll, providing a company review or entering a contest.

No matter what, always engage with followers during the campaign by addressing any replies, questions, comments or concerns they have. Respond in a timely manner, and respond in a way that positively reinforces the business and makes it look like the company is personally involved.

Dr. Eddie Siman: The TMJ Expert

Now that you have learned a bit about social media campaigns, let’s take a look at one of the most successful examples through our client the TMJ Expert Dr. Eddie Siman.

Dr. Siman’s social media campaign’s goal was to improve traffic, both paid and organically. The campaign that Promotion LA created for him focuses on the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, disorder and its causes, symptoms and treatment with the hopes of driving viewers to his website.

Though Promotion LA cut Dr. Siman’s marketing budget in half, he is still getting maximum results from the numerous platforms we use, including Google ads, Facebook ads, video ads, display, remarketing and Instagram boosting. We also post several social media posts a week on a variety of social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter.

To help boost customer reviews, Promotion LA has also created video testimonials where customers talk about their experience with Dr. Siman.

Though traffic increased by 200%, there was also a 105% increase in organic traffic.
