Social media is the hot ticket item of the day. All businesses are aware of it, some business owners understand the fundamentals of it but many more do not know how to utilize social media for business, how to incorporate social media into their marketing strategies and execute a working social media marketing campaign. At Creative Developments, located in Tempe Arizona near Scottsdale and Phoenix, we offer a social media management (SMM) package specific to each client’s budget and needs. Social media is now an everyday part of how we interact with one another from our friends and family on Facebook to our participation in what’s trending in real time on Twitter, from our networking on LinkedIn to our sharing how we witness the world on Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube. How social media is used to further a business agenda is where the social media management services of Creative Developments come into plays. Start-Up Campaign For clients that cannot take on the expense of a full time social media director, Creative Developments offers a social media marketing campaign managed for as little as $50 a week or $200.00 a month. Initial campaigns generally run about $400 a month for the first month or two as new campaign material is written for publication and syndication. Campaigns can be managed at a rate beginning at $200 a month thereafter once you enter a stage of syndication of your original campaign materials with additional costs invested in engagement and outreach campaigns. Initial development of a social media marketing campaign does come with one time, upfront costs including account setup for each social media account. These setup costs are offered free at costs with the signed commitment to a six month campaign. This initial campaign provides clients with a daily feed of posts relevant to your business, 3 hours of campaign management a week or 12 hours a month. Consider us your day and a half a month employee. Creative Developments can make certain that relevant campaign materials are scheduled out every day of the week and to focus some of the time to building up a Twitter following, a Facebook Fan Page fan base and follows on Google+ for business. We can manage inbox activity to your social media email account, which we can set up, and reply to those who communicate with your social media network. We can also monitor your campaign progress, making additional suggestions as goals are met or when additional campaign strategies or modifications are needed. Additional social media management time is available on an hourly rate if you decide that your campaign needs more time allotted to it, be it for a specific campaign objective for a given month or for the scope of campaign in the long run. Campaign Commitment We recommend at least a six month commitment for any initial campaign. If you commit to a campaign, social media can bear fruit and be an effective marketing tool, providing a positive return on investment.
