  • Constructing a Social Media Campaign OBIAA 2016 | London, on Why Social Media?
    Constructing A Social Media Campaign OBIAA 2016 | London, ON Why Social Media? • Checking social media accounts while eating breakfast, on break at work, or before bed has become routine. • An active presence on the internet will introduce new customers to your business and will allow you to connect with preexisting customers. • Best of all social media is FREE to use! Percentage of U.S. population with a social media account Social Media users worldwide Social Media usage in U.S. by age With more than 1 billion monthly active users, Facebook is currently the market leader in terms of reach and scope. Why is this important to us? 92% of consumers trust earned media (such as recommendations from friends and family) above all other forms of advertising. (NIELSEN, 2012) Growing trend of young professionals and older couples moving downtown and to urban centers. (The Value of Investing in Canadian Downtowns, 2013) Downtown London is getting younger, richer, and busier, FAST. (State of the Downtown Report, 2013) • More tech companies • More art galleries • More theatres • More restaurants • More experiential retail Embrace this new creative-class! Storytelling and Social Media Social media gives you a way to tell your story. When crafting posts, consider these elements of a good story: • Characters • Setting • Theme • Plot • Conflict Show, don’t Tell • Images are more effective on social media than text, but not every picture is effective. Take photos of your business when people are in it! • This encourages customers to visit your social media pages to look for themselves, share, and tag friends. People will help tell your story online if they feel they are apart of it.
