Now we will discuss a few social media tips you can use for social media marketing:

1. Have a separate plan for each platform

Without a plan, you have no way to quantify your accomplishments. The same strategy will not work on every platform. For starters, each one has a different set of rules.

The audiences, age demographics, interests, etc.,  all vary depending on the social media site you are using.

Create a social media plan for each will help you ensure that all your social efforts work with your specific business goals; it will also help you figure out your marketing strengths.

 

2. Have specific goals

Create specific goals that follow the SMART framework; i.e. they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.

Base your goals on parameters that will have a genuine impact on your business like acquiring buyers. A Higher number of likes don't necessarily mean a higher number of sales.

Keep a social media calendar and stick to it. Make regular changes depending on the changes in the market and social media regulations, and remember not to keep them vague.

 

3. Be consistent

Making regular changes to the model does not mean making constant changes. Keep your posts consistent, in number and in time.

Make sure you post at regular intervals; whether it's Facebook or Twitter or Instagram,  every post doesn't reach everyone in your contacts. Develop a daily schedule for posts and follow it.

 

4. Use a tool

Social Media Management Tools make it a lot easier to manage your posts and monitor your performance. You can schedule posts on multiple platforms from one place. And you can analyze all from the same place. You can use the free versions till you know enough to establish a proper plan.


5. Experiment a little

Try out different combinations of posts, use catchy captions with one post and provide information with another. Switch them and see the response.

Try posting videos about your process. Many artists post videos of them making an artwork! These things generate curiosity about your work process.


6. Do regular analysis

Keep detailed records of what works and what doesn't. Figure out the posts that converted into sales and try replicating the methods.

Take a look at the accounts of your contemporaries. Find out what works for them and draw inspiration from their strategies. Join different forums and groups on social media. Communicate with the "competition", get advice from influencers.


7. Interact with your base

Follow up on compliments and criticisms equally. Get in touch with the customers after a sale and ask for reviews. Post interactive videos and share the stories behind your artwork. People love to understand a work of art; no matter how aesthetically pleasing a painting is, the process behind it can make all the difference. Post interactive videos, ASK for their reviews and comments, and respond to them in a polite and enthusiastic manner.

And again, the shifting status quo means transparency is paramount. The public is even more cautious than before, it is also quick to criticize. Being upfront in your interactions is the only way forward.
