Last week we answered these questions:
1.Where is your target audience? Social media demographics.
2. What social media channels are your competitors/colleagues using? How are they using it? What kinds of content are they creating? How often do they use it?
3. What do you want social media to do for your business? (SMART Goals. Consider how they integrate into your marketing plan for your business and your overall business goals for the upcoming year.)
