Biddable Social Marketing Fundamentals
If you are already using social media for your business (or you have recently attended the “Introduction to Paid Digital Advertising webinar”), you will be aware that social media marketing can be cost-effective, highly targeted, and adaptable to any business objective.
But business pages are finding it harder to reach their customers and potential customers organically (not having to pay) and are now turning their attention to biddable social marketing.
Social media advertising (or biddable social marketing) provides organisations with the chance to reach, engage and convert new customers that would not normally see their organic posts, or reach existing customers with new services or products.
It can be used to support businesses’ organic activity or to help drive fan acquisition or engagement. It can also be used to drive lead conversion and sales from new audiences (which can happen on the social platform or by driving the user back to the company website).
*We recommend also attending the Biddable Search Marketing Fundamental workshop on 1 February along with this session.
