3 Sure Ways To Sell Your Business On Social Media

Does it sound like what you have always wanted to do?? Sell your product on social media!!

I Just read a mail that talked about having too many people selling a particular thing in a particular area raising competition.

social media is sure your better bet since you won't be dragging online space with other sellers because there are just billions of people to reach out to which makes your chances higher than your physical business space.

These 3 ways will sure give you result if you play well.

Organic social media
There are rarely persons who are not on social media, it has become part of our life that we can not just do without it in a way. And this is fact to leverage, reach out to people on different social media about what you do, develop the KLT factor and they would willingly open their pocket for you in exchange of your product..

Influencer marketing
I see this often on Instagram, this is basically reaching out to a known brand to advertise your products for you and you pay in exchange. Since they already have a loyal following that trust them, they can easily follow the influencers request to buy from you. We use it often and confirmed its super effective. So you too should try it.

Paid social media
If you are an online marketer, you must have gotten use to these lines PAY TO PLAY.

Facebook, instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, pinterest are not joking. The way you want to sell your market, they want to sell theirs too. So you can as well pay them to run Ad for your products. If you get your customer avatar right and target right too you are sure to make some sales.

Are you selling on media already?? Are you planning to start selling?? But have questions in your mind about selling on media. Drop it in the comment session, I would be right there to attend to it.

Now it's very clear and certain that businesses such as real estate is not one that can easily be transacted over the internet.

Many attimes you meet the person on the internet and transact business physically.

What I am about to show you is method that you can use to get ahead of your competitors and get hold of clients faster than they should, hence making more money. But then, you need to be able to run paid ads. I mean Facebook ads.

In real estate, one of the best form of getting prospects is in the form of leads( those who have shown interest in your business by dropping their details). This way you can contact them one by one to see those you can be able to convert into paying customers.

But then, there is this common method most people use nowadays. They simply just created a video and use engagement ads or video views to push it out.

At the end, many of these things ends up getting engagements, without any sensible conversion.

But then, you might ask: which way is the best?
How can I advertise my properties using Facebook ads and get value for it.

I will show you how. It's now left for you to either use it or leave it.

WHAT TO DO

1. Get your sales funnel ready.

By now,if you don't have a website to design your sales funnel, then you are simply not yet serious. That aside. Your sales funnel should explain in details what you want to sell and the bonuses your clients will get it they can buy from you. There is no point writing too many stories as many people do. It should be well detailed with attractive headlines, facts and pictures.

You can prefer to direct your traffic to a single page where they can fill in their details or make use of a presell before the main page( a method people use to send away unserious prospects) or whatsoever method you desire to use in your sales funnel.

2. Have a reasonable offer.
Most times I see people trying to sell properties worth over 12million Naira. In as much as this is good, you need to be able to ask yourself if people can afford that kind of offer.

People will rather pay in installments ( which is what many can afford) than pay all at once.

The aim of this that, make your offer a reasonable one that people can flow with.

3. Have a form to collect their details

At this point,let me say this: I am not a fan of email list. I don't know when I will be. I can't be convenient with the fact that less than 40% of my emails with be opened by the same people I spent money to get. I might use an email list later,but not now.

Make use of a form that can receive every necessary details including their office address. Remember, the target is to get 300 people who are serious.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE ADVERT

You see, I am not an optimist. I don't just go around hoping things will be better without having a part to play. I believe more in facts and figures. Hence we will be utilising them here.

With a good and optimised ad targeted at nigerians, you should spend no more than 300naira to get a lead. I mean 300naira to get someone to fill the form.

For this advert, it's advertising to target 100,000naira. If you think it's expensive. I have a client whose former boss spends over 600,000naira monthly on online advertising.

Now , let's get back to business.

With 100,000naira, it's very possible for you to gather your 300leads.

I know some people might say it's a bit expensive na. I know. I run low cost ads too.

But the point here is this, real estate is not something you are trying to advertise to someone far away from where they stay. You can't try to advertise a property in Lagos to someone who stays in Gombe. There is 80% chance he or she won't buy.

Moreover, this is not something that makes everyone jump up. So expect the ad cost to be a bit higher.

So you need to be a bit careful. However it's very necessary you tweak your advert so as to know which one performs as much as you want. Don't forget, clearly state the offer you want to sell. It's important.

RESULT.

Well, I have found out that having a female voice over the phone helps to get the client more interested. Don't get me wrong. I am only trying to say female voices work well when calling a prospect to book an appointment.

Good morning, what happened?

WHY YOU NEED TWO OR MORE AUDIENCE TARGETING TO ADVERTISE YOUR PRODUCT

Have you ever been in a position whereby you needed to run an advert on facebook and after about a day, you stopped the advert due to the fact it was not giving you needed result or you just wanted to edit one or two things.

Then after you started running the advert again, you noticed that results were not even coming at all?

Has it ever happened to you before? Do you know that it's very frustrating?

Sadly, these are some of the things you encounter sometimes while running Facebook ads. But then, that does not mean you should be stock there. There is always something you can do or at least try and improve the sales ones again.

I will tell you what really happens and how to try and fix it.

At the initial stage, your advert was being shown to an audience who has never seen it before. Hence it kind off performed.

Now there are five(5) types of people your advert comes across on facebook

1. Those that your advert reached

2. Those that saw your advert without engaging with it

3. Those that saw your advert, engaged with it and did not buy

4. Those that saw your advert, engaged with it but said they will buy later.

5. Those that saw your advert, engaged it with and bought immediately.

Now the truth is this:
When you try to run those advert again using the same ad account, facebook will show it to the same set of people in the above 5 categories. Do you know that many of those people will ignore it?

Can you see that? Do you now see why your advert will not perform even when you changed something there?

Facebook has a way of randomly selecting who they will show your advert to. This is because you are not the only one advertising to that same audience. Hence, they will show your advert to a section of the whole audience.

Now this is where it gets difficult. If you are trying to advertise a product that lots of people have sold off already to the same audience they used, it will be very difficult to find a fresh targeted audience to show your advert to.

My advice is to find less competitive products that you can sell.

WHY YOU NEED A SECOND AUDIENCE

There are times when I have to change the audience I am using for my clients when I find out that the current audience I am using for them is no more getting the needed results or not even getting results at all.

I remembered something in December when I had to help a friend of mine advertise a weight loss product. The first audience I used only brought in one order after spending a good amount of money. I knew exactly what was happening, so I stopped it

I later changed the audience to another targeted weight loss audience and the result tripped. Yes, that's how effective a good audience can be.

I experienced a similar issues few weeks ago and then I applied the same technique and it worked.

But then, I mainly focus on changing my audience and not my sales page because I believe my sales page is not faulty.

After creating over 110 sales pages, for clients alone, I can say I know what works and what doesn't.

I have only had to change, edit a sales page once before it started getting results and that was almost a year ago.

Let me know what you think in the comment session. Any contribution will be appreciated.

"How To Sell On Social Media Without Running Ads."

For a long time, I suffered low sales as a result of inability to sell, feeling shy to talk to people and the fear of getting a NO.

The fear of getting a NO from a prospect was the worse, it killed my guts even before I took move to talking to the prospect not until i learnt getting a NO doesnt mean my products were bad just that it may not be the best for them at the moment.

As I struggled with it, I came across alot of people who made sales from social media which made me believe it worked and i began to take it serious.

I Took my time to make research on how this thing works, from then the journey began. It was a gradual process, quiet gradual i mean but its been worth it.

But i learnt a knowledge that made the journey easy ,quiet easy I mean,it was education based marketing.

This was how it worked for me , I stopped coming online to outrightly tell people to buy, which had made me look salesy . thats how most of us do, we merely scream 'buy' and that isn't good for us at all.

This was what i did exactly, I told stories around what I sold, taught people how to use my products, created video, picture and written contents, tried to inspire, educate and entertain people with what i sold.Had lots of fun pulling some stories too, some were serious too but all aided visibility.

That's a way to go, use educational marketing. Tell stories, teach, inspire, entertain people around what you sell. It gets you seen naturally without looking salesy

YOU ARE LEAVING A LOT OF MONEY ON THE TABLE!!�‍♀�

you’re about to ask how right?

Let me play out a scenario:

You run a Facebook ad and a customer (a man) sees it but cannot buy at that time maybe because;

*His phone rang and he totally forgot after the call.(it happens)

*He went to check his food on fire and forgot, maybe Facebook even refreshed his feed.

*He didn’t have the money then.

*His child mistakenly put off the phone, these are just examples but they happen always.

How do you make sure that this person can still buy from you?

How do you make sure that you don’t loose this potential customer over something that was totally out of his control?

Well I’m saying, ITS RE-TARGETING!

So, I guess you now understand why I said you’re leaving a lot of money on the table right?

You might have gotten more customers if you had just showed that AD once more or better still continuously till, they buy (that’s the target, right?)

Not everybody will buy, that’s a fact, but those that couldn’t because of one situation or another beyond their control will have a second chance.

Top international marketers like Billy Gene and Russell Brunson do it, if you doubt me go to their websites, you’ll come back to Facebook and see an ad that is designed to follow you for life.�

Even top Nigerian Marketers like Toyin Omotoso and Ken Ndubisi also do it, the first time I liked Toyin Omotosos page, I started getting retargeted to all his page posts.

Even Ken Ndubisi does it too, got hit with an AMP retargeting Ad and I was like “He’s good jor” , even saw the comments where someone said “stop following me” lol�

So if you’ve been running Facebook ads and forgetting retargeting or you simply don’t know, its time to buckle up in that aspect!

Time is ticking. Use the link.

So, sometimes online marketing can feel like a race to reach the most number of customers.

That is how businesses view the constant struggle to beat the competition, with the ultimate goal of selling their products and providing their services. This race can be very extreme and soul crushing.

But few in the online marketing industry have learn and mastered the process of navigating through the rough seas of internet marketing and deliver top notch business services.

You ask how do they do it? It is simply but yet profound. They use the very best tools available in the industry to achieve all these marketing feats. These are tools that most online marketers ignore and yet aspire so hard to pull in the big sale for their selves or clients.

This is process is called, wait for it... Boom,
WEBSITE MARKETING!
Yay.

Using creative website marketing strategies helps promote your website and increase its traffic.

No one is going to question the fact that it is a good strategy. With most (if not all) businesses going online, no one wants to be left behind.

The good news is there are effective methods that work to help increase your website traffic and sales.

Today we will be sharing more creative strategies that you may not have thought of or implemented yet!

Let's go.

1. Search Engine Optimisation (Your Physiotherapist)

The truth is that most small businesses with their own websites will not readily use SEO.

The reason is because of business owners’ general lack of awareness of SEO and what it does.

But in reality, SEO is one of the most creative website marketing strategies there is.

Contrary to what many expect, the use of search engine optimization for a website is not really a given.

A strong SEO strategy is a guarantee to an increase in traffic, and that is going to happen by making sure that the website appears high in the search results.

But one thing to keep in mind is that you can’t expect instant results. There is a process involved in SEO, and you need to be patient to get the results you want.

First, learn the basics and know how you can measure your progress.


2. Join Facebook Groups

You want to reach and connect to your audience. But to do that, you need to find them first.

Where might they be? Where do potential customers usually hang out online?

Facebook, of course. Or in Facebook groups, to be specific.

The great thing about Facebook groups is that there is one for almost every topic you can think of. All you need to do is to join one or several, depending on what you are looking for.

Once you are part of a group, you can look at the discussions that other members have. You get to learn what people are interested in and what they are talking about.

Little by little, you get to understand your target audience.

When the situation is right, you might even get to join the discussion. An example is when a member posts a question that you can answer.

You not only answer the question but also get to promote your website. Simply direct them to it for further answers and enlightenment.

If those groups or forums are among the top results in Google, then that translates to increased traffic for your website. Simple, but one of the more creative website marketing strategies for entrepreneurs.

3 Efficient Ways To Enhance Your Brand And Get The Most Out Of Your B2B Social Media Marketing Efforts.

I. Create an Online Brand Persona:
Similar to a persona of your ideal customer, an online persona of your brand will take you a long way. Creating an online brand persona helps your prospects and customers connect to your core values on social media, which affects the overall results you get. In order to successfully establish an online brand persona, focus on the voice you will be using on social media. Keep your long-term vision in mind when doing so.

II. Have a Crisis Management Plan Ready:
There may be times when you’ll see the unhappy side of your customers on social media. This is when your brand’s reputation can go for a toss if no steps are taken to resolve the issues. When you have a crisis management plan ready, you’ll be in the position to deal with a problem when it arises.

III. Connect with Media:
Connecting with your prospects and customers is an obvious step when you’re using social media. But being a B2B company, you shouldn’t stop there. In other words, you also need to interact with bloggers and journalists who are actively writing or creating content in your niche. By using social media for reaching out the right kind of media and building strong relationships with relevant media contacts, you will be able to get on their radar.

Objectives To Consider For Your B2B Marketing Company


1. Targeted Lead Generation

It’s a fact that B2B companies operate differently than B2C companies in more than one way. The techniques that work well for a B2C firm, may not be that viable for a B2B business.

For instance, B2B clients are known to make bigger investments, which brings down their chances of impulse buying. So if your B2B company wants to leverage social media for marketing, it makes sense to do so for lead generation rather than sales.

If you’re a business that thinks long-term, and if you truly want to get a healthy ROI from social media, then your top priority could be about generating new, quality leads. Above all, each lead that you generate via social media gives you the confidence and direction to gain even more leads in the future.

Studies have shown that any businesses (B2B or B2C) that uses social media to generate leads can be in the position to earn 24% more revenue. Whether you choose to use LinkedIn for generating leads or Twitter, depends on the kind of business you are running and where your audience tends to hang out the most.

Capturing leads and nurturing prospective buyers can be via social media as long as you do the following effectively:

Build a strong, positive network and grow your reputation
Add clear call to actions to your social media pages, profiles and posts
Improve your brand and focus on establishing yourself as a thought leader
Leverage paid ads to consistently generate quality leads
Track and measure your social media performance/progress
With B2B marketing, it’s important to take a unique approach in order to generate high-converting leads and achieve a bigger ROI.

2. Build Your Brand

Your social media optimization efforts can make a positive impact on your company’s brand development. Being on a social network such as LinkedIn is not enough to enhance your brand. Your business needs to be active when it comes to protecting its reputation and giving away value. One wrong step on social media can diminish your brand’s value.

3. Offer Better Customer Service

Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are great for improving your customer service and give better value to your B2B customers. Social media gives you the opportunity to see how your customers are interacting with your content and what they’re talking about your brand. By taking the right steps, many customer problems can be resolved without having them escalated further.

Social media has always been seen as the playground for companies, individuals and their businesses. While it’s true that many of the top brands leveraging social media marketing in nigeria operate in the Business to companies segment, it doesn’t mean that B2B companies don’t have a place in the social media arena.

There are companies of all sizes that have already tasted success with B2B social media marketing, and continue to grow as a result of tapping into the major social networks for more customers.

We see that everyday on social media platforms like instagram and Facebook. Success stories not just from the Business owners but customers nation or world wide. It is intriguing and at the same time, you wonder what is happening to your business, why isn't it scaling like the best of them.

Even if it means that you operate on the same niche with them and your business strategy, products, services and customer service is better than theirs. In this article, we will give tips on how to make your products and services stand out.

The problem that many B2B companies often face is: a lack of knowledge and an awareness of social media. Many of them still believe social media is not for them, which is costing them sales. Or they don’t have the right staff/resources to run their social media campaigns. Koopanated Agency live to fill that void and bring great ROI on your products or services.

Getting great results with B2B social media marketing is not a big deal. In fact, it can be as effective as B2C social media marketing, as long as the fundamental goals are not ignored.

Any business can grow on any social media platforms they use depending on their products and services and the strategy they employ. And if done right, B2B social media marketing can prove to be the best marketing technique to promote their products and services.

While there is no doubt that social media is a powerful marketing method, it has to be done effectively to achieve a high return on investment.

For successful social media marketing, a B2B company needs to take a strategic approach and execute their campaign with precision. We will list some tips to achieving this feat below with detailed explanation and how tos.

1. Marketing objectives

You have to first understand that the why, I.e, the reason behind your market and the reason behind your Marketing. These are two different things to consider. Your market is your niche and your Marketing is the process or techniques by which you reach your target audience with your niche. Why? Because your return on investment depends on setting marketing goals that contribute to your company’s overall growth.


Every decision that your company makes towards getting more prospects and converting them into customers should reflect around your business goals. And more importantly, how you plan to achieve them.

It is imperative to know that, companies using B2B social media marketing need to realize the importance of gaining visibility in the competitive social landscape. Social news feeds today are crowded, and your company has to stand out of the crowd without losing focus of its core objective

2. Target Audience

Social media is made up of diverse people, so not everybody is going to be interested in the content you share. Which is why it’s important to reach out to an audience that connects to you and your content. You want businesses who pay attention and listen to your advice. Being in the B2B segment, this not only helps you build a list of followers, but also lets you create real authority and a positive brand in your niche.

Identifying your target audience is the first step to sharing information with businesses who have interest in your area of expertise and possibly have goals that connect to your product or service. If you manage to build a relationship with an audience that shares the same level of passion about your industry, then the updates you share with them will get even more exposure.

3. Choose The Right Social Media Platform


Every social media network is different. And the people that use it have different interests and priorities. When your B2B company experiments with social media marketing, it’s important to understand the importance of selecting the right social media platform.

Your social media efforts need to be directed in the right direction because unlike a B2C company that deals with end customers, you work with companies and businesses. Which makes your choice of social media platform a crucial part of your B2B social media marketing strategy.

We have worked with both,Facebook ads and LinkedIn ads, and have found Facebook to be a more viable B2B advertising solution.

The reason being simple: Facebook ads are likely to be cheaper than LinkedIn ads in terms of cost per click. For example, you could spend $5 per click on LinkedIn that would cost you $1 or less per click on Facebook. And the quality of the lead would be the same. It’s a no-brainer.

Even though LinkedIn is a pure B2B channel (one of the reasons it’s more expensive), Facebook ads can help you get similar results. Why? Because Facebook has two billion monthly active users. And there is every chance that your B2B audience logs into Facebook as much as they do on LinkedIn, if not more.

Need Help with B2B Social Media Marketing?

When talking about B2B social media marketing success, the focus is usually on how amazing the results have been. Or how the B2B company managed to make the most of social media marketing at a limited budget. But it’s important to understand that these results are possible only due to effective preparation and a flawless execution of the campaign.

B2B social media marketers need to think long-term in order to see real-world results, and continue growing. Focusing on immediate results will only hamper the sustainability of your social media efforts. With efficient planning and preparation, even the biggest challenges can be overcome.

If you need help with your B2B social media marketing, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Koopanated Agency team. Using our vast social media marketing experience, we will help you formulate a B2B social media marketing strategy that aligns with your company objectives.

So I started this topic a couple of weeks ago and this is the part 2. Before we proceed, we will like to know how many of you implemented the last topic and what your result look like.

3. Don’t always rely on automation.
Scheduling posts can be incredibly helpful when you have a busy schedule, but remember to keep an eye on your social media channels in case of breaking news to avoid posting anything unintentionally insensitive.

4. Don’t forget about metrics.
Analyzing social media-related metrics is an essential tool to help you maximize success. Define what goals you are trying to accomplish, whether it’s increasing engagement or driving click-throughs to your website. Metrics give you better insight into your audience and what they want, helping you to maintain relevant content and developing a long-term relationship with them. To measure metrics, there are a few different options. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all have native analytics on their apps that allow you to get data. For more in-depth analysis, there is also a range of third-party tools.

"You can't improve what you don't measure" is an age-old adage that is widely practiced in management. But the same ethos can be applied for social media marketing.

After all, how else will you know if the strategies you put in place contribute to your bottom line? How will you figure out which tactics to maintain and abolish if you have nary an idea of their efficacy?

It's understandable, then, that digital marketers expend so much effort in building comprehensive reports to their bosses and clients to show them what works and what doesn't.

In fact, the average marketer spends around 20 hours a month slapping together reports.

Frankly, that's too much time spent on wrangling a cascade of spreadsheets, screenshots, and slides, and jumping from one tool to another.

That time could be better reserved for finetuning and iterating social media marketing efforts instead.

Competitor Analysis Is Critical For Success

Doing market research before starting your business is always wise, not to discourage you from trying but to figure out before investing whether there is merit to your ideas.

Instead of feeling discouraged when you realize how many businesses there are in the world – or even just in your state – consider this competition a good thing. This is positive proof that a need exists for that type of business and they have paying clients.

Now dig a little deeper into your research and determine how many of these businesses are in your specialty. Again, not to discourage you but to encourage you to set yourself apart, create a unique selling point that will attract your ideal clients.

When is Spying Unethical?

Smart business owners will always know what’s happening within their industry as well as locally with their competitors. In many instances, you and your competitors are vying for the same clients, so it’s smart to know who’s doing what to attract those clients.

Market research crosses the line, however, when you copy exactly what your competitors are doing. If a coach sends out a direct mail postcard and you copy the text word for word but add your own name to it, that’s copyright infringement and unethical.

Is sending out a direct mail postcard a good idea? Sure! But hiring your own copywriter and graphic designer to make YOUR postcard unique is a must.

The same is true when creating your website, sales pages, and signature classes. Always invest in your own business with your own professional copywriters and designers, or you will be known as a copier.

Not only does that tarnish your reputation but it can get your website shut down. Hosting companies do not have a tolerance for plagiarism and unethical behavior.

Can you create a class based on the same topic as another coach? Of course, you can. But put a twist on it by adding your case studies, discuss the topic from a different perspective, or offer another feature that the first coach does not – such as a private Facebook Group – to make it more appealing and unique.

Want to use some photos in your advertising? Don’t just copy an image from Google Images! Either take your own photos, hire a photographer, or use royalty-free stock photos. Go one step further and check the licenses at stock photo houses to ensure that you’re using the photo correctly for advertising purposes.

In general, stock photos with corporate logos or names are for editorial use only, which means they can be used in a blog post but not an advertisement or endorsement.

Pricing Research

Another significant reason to look at your competitors is to determine what price point your market can handle, but this may require multiple steps. First, check their websites and sales pages. What prices are they charging? What are they offering for that price?

Next check their testimonials and social media profiles. What does their tribe have to say? How active are they on social media? A large number of followers doesn’t mean anything if they are not interacting with them.

Lastly, search for reviews. If people are unhappy with something, they will let the world know about it online, usually more frequently than if they had a wonderful experience.

Again, doing this type of pricing research is not to copy what a competitor is doing but to determine if what you have to offer is priced accordingly. You will likely have differing ideal clients which can impact price. If you’re looking for local clients, your location will play a part in determining the price.

Pricing in lagos state, for example, would be much higher than in a smaller, more rural region of ph.

These steps are super easy to implement, and you can even delegate some to your virtual assistant.

As a small business owner, the only thing on your mind is how to expand your local customer base. You can accomplish this with more objectives than general advertising efforts. You know of course word of mouth isn’t just enough for your marketing strategy.


Your marketing strategy ought to be locally focused. What kind of things are you doing to attract people in your area to your business?

Ways of Advertising Locally For Your Small Business

We know that we are a small competent company that takes seriously into account the desires and requirements of our paying clients, but something happened that changed our perspective drastically.

She walked into our office and asked to see the man in charge and she was asked if she has an appointment. Her reply was a humble one as she said ' I don't know what or why i came here, but i believe that a reason will surely come out.'

After a long discussion with her in the conference room, we concluded that her business needs an epic social media presence like no other. We mapped out strategies, created impeccable plans of attack but surprisingly, she said something that struck us.

'I don't believe that the internet can give me money to facilitate the future of my business.'

At that juncture, we went into another session of sensitization and boy was it long? We agreed on the terms that, she only pay for the implementation of the marketing process and if the plan work out perfectly, she can pay our agreed fee.

This is the part 1, look closely.

Social media marketing allows you to create and curate online content in order to engage a targeted audience and develop business opportunities. As you build a social media following, avoid making these mistakes and jeopardizing your success.

1. Don't neglect it.
If you’re in, you have to be all the way in. It can require a lot of work, from posting to interacting with followers, but it has the potential to generate conversions for your business – so make sure you give your social media pages the proper amount of time and attention. If that seems like too much, consider outsourcing.

2. Don’t always go for the hard sell.
Followers can be turned off by a constant inundation of promotional posts. Instead, opt for informative posts or curate pictures of bucket-list destinations and inspirational memes. To build long-term, meaningful relationships with your audience, connect on a personal level by sharing some of your own story or updates of your travels or entrepreneurial endeavors. By genuinely engaging in conversations, you put a human face to a business and drive brand loyalty.
