Social Media Management
Social Media is a fact of your business life. Almost every customer or potential customer you encounter has an active social media account of some sort, and most of them engage their peers with it daily. Given this fact, it is imperative that a business, be it a small business or a Fortune 100 Corporation, actively engage with social media effectively in order to generate new business, repeat business and brand awareness. It is imperative to have active and optimized social media accounts to drive business contact to you.
At Akin IT Services, we believe there are five factors that are crucial to the growth of a successful Social Media presence for a business. They are:
- Daily Posts
- New, Original Content
- Interactions with Your Audience
- Monitoring of Growth In Traffic/Followers (Insights)
- Connection with Your Audience…and THEIR Audience
With these principles in mind, Akin IT Services takes an aggressive approach to acting as your social media management team.
What An Akin IT Services Social Media Campaign Can Do For Your Company
Creation Of New, Original Content. We’ve all seen “canned” content that is used by marketing organizations for multiple customers. We don’t do that. Instead, we create fresh content that is geared specifically to developing your brand, marketing your products, selling your services and engaging your customers. We work hard to create content that connects with your acquired audience as well as the potential clients you need to increase revenue for your business.
Interaction With Your Potential Customers. The word “social” is often forgotten in social media marketing. It shouldn’t be. Your social media outlets are NOT merely the classified ads of the last century. They are more like that difficult first meeting that takes a potential from a cold lead to a warm one. At Akin IT Services, we interact with your potential customers to “de-ice” them. This way, by the time they interact with your sales team, there’s already a needed trust level built between potential customer and seller. That trust is what separates successful businesses from those that don’t make it.
Increase Of Active Followers. It’s simple math, really. The more people that are following you, the more they are aware of your brand, your services and your products. That awareness will make you the name that comes to mind when it’s time to purchase. Through modern techniques like implementation of hashtags, liking other people’s posts, following peers and appropriate collegues, etc., we will grow your audience and allow your message to be received by more people.
The Platforms Akin IT Services Can Manage For You
At Akin IT Services, we work with the top social media sites to ensure that your business is optimized correctly, and is continually fed new postings designed to build an audience, recognize the brand and develop traffic that converts to new customers.
Facebook. Facebook is still the biggest platform on the market, and the one that the most business customers interact with. Akin IT Services will develop your company page to give it a fresh and inviting look and feel. We’ll provide organic posts each business day.

Akin IT Services will produce fresh content to promote brand and product awareness, and begin the development of 1 on 1 relationships between potentials and your organization. Your Twitter status will draw new business, and the proper use of hashtags in postings will lead to new business prospects finding you through Twitter Search.
