How to Improve Your Social Media ROI
Social media not only allows us to connect with family and friends, but it also provides an excellent platform for businesses to connect with their customers and clients. If you’re a small business owner, you probably know how important it is to have a strong social media presence for your brand. But are you getting the most out of your social media efforts? In this blog post, we’ll share some tips and tricks on how to improve your social media ROI (return on investment).
Define your goals and target audience
The first step in improving your social media ROI is to define your goals and target audience. What do you want to achieve with your social media presence? Do you want to increase sales, drive traffic to your website, or improve brand awareness? Once you’ve defined your goals, you need to identify your target audience. Who are you trying to reach? What are their interests and pain points? Understanding your target audience will help you create content that resonates with them and drives engagement.
Create compelling content
Social media is all about creating engaging content that captures your audience’s attention. You need to create content that is not only visually appealing but also informative and valuable. Whether it’s images, videos, or blog posts, your content should be shareable and encourage your followers to engage with it. You can create content around your products or services, share industry news or create how-to guides or tutorials.
Use the right social media channels
Not all social media channels are created equal. Depending on your target audience and the type of content you create, some social media channels may be more effective than others. For instance, if you’re targeting millennials, Instagram and Snapchat may be the best channels for you. However, if you’re targeting professionals, LinkedIn may work better for you. Do your research and identify the social media channels that resonate with your target audience.
Engage with your followers
Social media is a two-way street. You need to engage with your followers to build relationships and drive engagement. Make sure you respond to comments and messages promptly. You can also run contests and giveaways or ask your followers to share user-generated content. By engaging with your followers, you can create a loyal community that not only supports your brand but also advocates for it.
Monitor your results
To improve your social media ROI, you need to measure your results regularly. Use social media analytics tools to track your metrics such as likes, shares, comments, and click-throughs. By analyzing your data, you can identify what’s working and what’s not and make adjustments to your social media strategy accordingly. You can also use A/B testing to test different content formats and see which ones resonate with your audience the most.
So, how to improve your social media ROI? Define your goals, create compelling content, use the right social media channels, engage with your followers, and measure your results. Remember, social media is an ongoing process, and you need to adapt and adjust your strategy as you go. Use the tips and tricks we’ve shared in this blog post to take your social media game to the next level.

As mentioned above, depending on your plan, we can use whatever you’d like to provide us! If not, we’ll resort to using your website or our royalty free library.
That being said, we can come up with custom graphics that suit your branding style as an add-on to your posting subscription.
$98/month for 3 custom graphics each week
$148/month for 5 custom graphics each week

What is content review & approval?
Content review and approval is where your social media content creator sends you a weeks worth of posts, prior to their designated publication time the following week.
This way, you will have the chance to give us feedback on each post in case you’d like us to make a minor edit.
Note: One round of editing per post permitted, depending on your plan.
What are the results I can expect from your posting services?
The idea behind consistent posting onto your social media pages is to keep them active with content that promotes your business solutions, educates your audience to showcase your expertise and to also keep things lighthearted, it’s social media after all!
There’s nothing worse for a business than to earn someone looking into what you do, only for them to see a barren social media page. To them, it may appear that you are out of business or potentially a scam.
We are often asked about growing followers and generating sales or leads. These are great goals to have but please understand that those goals are better obtained through paid advertising campaigns.
For more information on paid advertising, please visit our paid advertising services.
Do you use a posting scheduler and how do you get access to my business pages?
We are fortunate to be partnered with CloudCampaign.com to utilize their excellent scheduling platform.
By signing up for our content services, we will set you up with your own Cloud Campaign workspace depending on your plan.
During onboarding we request admin access to your social accounts using a secure platform. This allows us to manage the occasional disconnect when the platforms push out updates.
Furthermore, with your own workspace you are welcome to view and edit content at your leisure!
Why do my posts say “Posted by Cloud Campaign”
We use Cloud Campaign, which is a 3rd party app, to scale social media management and posting. When a post says “Posted by Cloud Campaign”, it is only the admins of your company page that can see this and not your followers.
