This class establishes the critical importance of developing a strategy as a foundation for any social media implementation. The lack of success, inability to create customers, alliances and ROI from social media, greatly stem from the fact that people do not go in with a plan, and commit what I like to refer to as random acts of unsuccessful social media marketing. Just like any other business generating activity, a strategy is the foundation for success, focus, and time management.
We’ll discuss examples of how strategy can create success, ROI, and focus. The key components of a strategy will be defined, and facilitate brainstorming around how to develop the details within each component.
