Global brands in China are more socially involved than ever as social media accounts let you communicate with your target audience and customers immediately and directly, and most importantly, build a lasting relationship that boost brand loyalty for the brand.
But, the question is how can you tell if the brand’s social media profiles are driving good engagement to keep your competitors at bay, and help you excel in your field?
As a marketing professional, you probably already know that social media analysis is the answer to this question; without it, your brand will have difficulty determining whether or not and how your Chinese social presence is helping you build a name there.
Read on to learn about the benefits of social media analysis, and how you can run them yourself to optimize your Chinese social media accounts in a smarter way.
So, why it is important to analyze a brand’s own social media accounts, and its competitors’ ?
Would you consider your brand’s social profiles to be successful or ineffective simply based on the number of likes or shares?
The answer is most likely no — you will need to dig deeper to determine whether your social media accounts are generating real results for your business. Rather than simply counting likes and followers, you’d like to know how your followers respond. But most importantly, how you stack up against your competition.
That’s where your social media marketing analysis comes in to help. You can use metrics like these when you analyze your social media accounts:
- Follower Growth: New Followers, Unsubscribes
- Engagement: Likes, Reposts, Comments
- Reads, Shares, Clicks, Faves, Reach
By analyzing all sorts of information, you can understand how your followers interact with your brand on various social media platforms, and how your competitors approach the market — and if the data tells you a certain format of content works better on one platform, or a certain time is best to post to get good engagement, you can adjust your content plan accordingly.
If this sounds like a hassle, read on to find out how you can run it yourself in a smarter way. ⬇️
Monthly social media analysis is most beneficial for determining which changes worked and which did not, and it shouldn’t take your more than 3 months to understand your followers using information like this:
- What kinds of content engages your audience
- What is the demographic makeup of your followers
- Which platforms your followers prefer to consume your content on
Over time, you will be able to improve your metrics as you make adjustments to your content plan, such as your posting frequency, post format, content type, etc., and you will find the information invaluable when it comes to implementing your future social media marketing strategy.
