Aside from our monthly marketing phone call and any as-needed phone communication, what is your preferred method for communication on a day to day basis?
Time Zone Provide links to any of your current social media accounts below. Do you have control over your website or use a webmaster? Please provide your webmaster's name and contact info, if applicable. We will need this information to upload blogs, place tracking codes to monitor analytics etc. Do you have a privacy policy on your website? This is required for items such as Facebook lead ads. If yes, provide a link below. If no, enter "no". If you have previously run any Facebook ads, do you have a Facebook Pixel already setup on your website? If you are selling products, are your products ready to ship? If not, when will they be available for purchase/ready to ship? If we are doing influencer marketing for you, are you willing to gift out product for giveaways and to influencers? How much product would you be willing to allocate to that effort? Will you supply us with content to help our social media efforts? We highly suggest original lifestyle imagery for social media success. Do you have existing imagery for us to utilize? If so, please elaborate below. (See details below)
Social media management should be a collaborative process in order to achieve the most benefit. We can share files through Dropbox/Google Drive. Content such as stories, pictures and videos always work well. Imagery can come from influencer collaborations and graphics we create. However, in addition, it is very helpful to have original + branded lifestyle imagery. We can direct you on imagery you can take with your camera phone or you can schedule a photo shoot with us! Interested in why original imagery versus utilizing stock photography is so important? Check out this blog: https://socialstylesmarketing.com/brand-strategy-authentic-branding-original-photography/
Social Media is one component of an overall marketing and sales strategy; will you be investing in any other efforts to further your brand? If so, please list them.
In order to have a successful social media presence, we highly suggest having a well-rounded marketing strategy on and off line.
