Why Your Business Needs Social Media
Social media gives you access to an enormous number of local, regional, national, and even global prospects. When segmented into a target audience, you have direct access to potential customers. The best part is that they are actively engaged. Watching, researching, sharing – they are open to messaging. Your tailored content, whether organic or paid - has several ways of making an impact: likes, shares, comments, followers, and connects create brand awareness, generate and nurture leads, and keep loyal customers buying.
Strategy & Management
Social media is fluid; things change fast. You must be prepared to adapt quickly and often. This calls for a dynamic marketing strategy and flexible management. Your strategy will be determined by your target audience, your company goals, your brand personality, the opportunities and limitations of the platform and, of course, current trends. We define the parameters of your digital marketing campaigns based on the data that tells us when, where and what marketing will make the biggest impact on your target audience.
Define Your Target Audience
You can’t appeal to everyone, nor should you want to. That's why it's so important to focus on a specific group of potential customers. There are many ways to narrow down your audience to those who are most likely to want your product or services. Social media gives you the opportunity to segment by way of demographics (age, gender, language, purchasing power, career) and psychographics (interests, values and hobbies) By focusing on a specific target audience, your SME becomes competitive against big companies.
Paid Search
Paid Search is a marketing tool that allows you to show advertisements on social media according to the user’s search terms, chosen advertising preferences, or the data collected by the platform. The most common type of paid search is Pay per Click (PPC), where you only pay when the user clicks on your advert. The beauty of paid search is that you determine and control your own budget. You can change, pause, stop, or extend it whenever you need to. It's a great tool for small and medium businesses.

Results and Reporting
You must measure, otherwise how will you know the impact of your social media marketing campaign or your ROI? It is essential to understand how your audience interacts with any digital marketing content to determine whether you should make more of it or change track. These insights will inform your content creation and posting strategy. Social media analytics measures your successes as well as your failures against your campaign goals. However, it can be intimidating to interpret the data, which is why an expert can help.

I had the pleasure to work with Green Apple Design for my company's new website. Adrian was prepared, proactive, and thorough during the entire process. Although I could not proceed with all the parts of the proposed website due to budget constraints, Adrian went out of his way to work close to it. Highly recommend overall.
