Gather data using promotions
Promotions are another great way to gather the social media data you need.
Here is a method for using promotions to gather data from your social media channels.
Step 1: Start with a goal in mind. For example, collecting survey results, demographic information, or email addresses.
Step 2: Build a campaign and host it on its own website with a unique URL. Make sure that your campaign site is mobile friendly.
Step 3: Feature an exciting give-away. Use the prize as an incentive to encourage participation.
Step 4: Link to your campaign with all of your social media channels.
Step 5: Study your results. For instance, track which social media channels brought the most traffic to your offer. Figure out which channel was the least responsive. You might want to consider eliminating poorly performing channels so you can focus your energy on the social media that works best for you.
Along with content and backlinks, social media is one of the most important aspects of good SEO. Used the right way, social media can drive high-quality traffic to your website. However, a social media strategy that works well in one niche, may be completely wrong for another.
The best thing to do is try several social media outlets. Then collect as much data as possible and study the data closely to find the social media channels that work the best for your niche and audience.
