Which Social Media Sites Belong On Your Digital Marketing Team? 

Your time and budget are both limited, so when it’s time to choose which social media platforms are right for your digital marketing strategy you need to carefully size up the options.

The graphic below from Visage and On Base Marketing  gives you some of the essential stats and characteristics to consider as you compare Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and SnapChat.

Some questions you will want to answer before matching up social media platforms with open positions on your digital marketing team:

  • Who is my target audience? What age? Men, women or both? Business professionals or general public?

  • What content and offers do I have to promote? Do I have strong visual material?

  • Am I willing to “pay to play” on platforms that are becoming more advertising driven?

  • What analytics will I need to see to prove the ROI of my digital marketing efforts?

With answers to these questions in mind, you can use this “scouting card” to choose the best match for your marketing program.
