Develop a Social Media Marketing Strategy that fits the SME Model
“It is very common to use social media as a digital marketing strategy for promotion and our company tried to use Facebook for marketing. Even though we have been in the business for a while, our revenue has not seen any growth. Without marketing experience, we did not know how to approach the problem in-hand. I came across this course on the Internet and proposed it to our company, hoping it can shed some light on how our company’s marketing strategies can be improved.
The course covers some basic concepts of digital marketing strategies. It also teaches ad content writing skills and explains the key points of operating social media marketing. We also practiced creating marketing content and social media advertisements in-class. After completing the course, I can now conduct effective product promotion for the company at a budget and write posts that appeal to the target audience online. The average post has a 20% higher reach rate than before. The course definitely helped drive better performance in my work! “

Case Study
Social Media Builds Brand Loyalty and Improves Business Performance
YouTube, Facebook and Instagram are the top three social media platforms most frequently used by Hong Kong users. If the company can successfully operate on these platforms, it will definitely bring significant growth to its business performance. Building brand loyalty through social media is a top priority for brands.
Through this course, a long-established local bakery learnt that it can use the power of social media to reach more target audiences and build a loyal customer base for the brand, which is beneficial as it can increase the popularity of the bakery. In addition, as a traditional industry, if the old business methods are not changed, it will be difficult to reach potential customers of a younger demographic, which will be detrimental to the development of the brand in the long run. Therefore, they regularly published posts targeted at the interests of young people, and often interacted with the audience through social media platforms. Eventually the shop attracted continuous attention of younger audience, and successfully built a solid fan base through social media, benefitting the business.
