Understanding what you would like to see from your efforts is important and growing a strategy from that starting point will make it easier to develop your plan.

Ensure that you understand the process of just how long it will take to grow your social media channels. Being realistic is important to ensure you don’t set yourself up for failure, there’s a fine line between being determined to smash your goals, hitting numbers and being naive, over confident and unprepared for the constant changing of social media growth and engagement.
RESEARCH
Researching your social media audience is another way to prepare and boost the success of your social media strategy. There is essential demographic data for your business that you will need to research on each platform that you are aiming to grow and engage on. Identifying your online demographic can be achieved by researching competitors or similar brands to get a better idea of the response from demographics that you may want to target.
