Choosing social media to suit your business...

Choosing your social media strategy to suit your target audience can be simplified if you put it into different terms.

I read an article from The Art of Healing (Vol 2, Issue 27) "What does it mean really..to lose one's health". Although this article is based on the Australian Health System, Dr Mohamed Khadra stated:
"If you are dealing with a doctor who isn't communicative, who isn't able to sit down and really go through the benefits and risks of a procedure, who isn't transparent about why they are doing it and involving you in a shared decision-making capacity -- perhaps you are going to the wrong doctor,"

What do you make of this statement? I would say that in simple terms, you would not be choosing a social media platform that your target audience does not use; I would ensure that my target audience was receiving the information and 'online' comforts to keep them coming back for more. Why would your fan base 'target audience' come back to your site if they did not feel supported or getting any benefit from your posts?

When choosing your social media platform, clearly identify the who's, what's and where's. Once these have been identified you will be able to better approach your social media campaign.
