What is SMM? Do you need it?

SMM (Social Media Marketing) is a tool for customers and sales from social networks.

Today, SMM is not only cats and huskies, but also real sales. Of course, you can simply create a group, publish there 5 messages a week and wait for the crowds of new customers to come. It does not work. Without a systematic approach, there will be no result.

Social networks are primarily a place where people have fun, communicate, learn news, watch fun content.

Promotion of medical services in social networks often has some difficulties. For example, a small number of subscribers compared to groups of entertainment topics, goods and services of frequent demand. Even with high attendance, such groups rarely enter and often unsubscribe, having received the necessary information. Particularly reluctant to join groups of clinics that provide specific services: the restoration of reproductive functions, urological centers, etc.

For a company, it is important that employees share its principles. Thought in one direction. We saw the goal, felt responsible for the result. Then people work better. And they become happier (but this is not certain).

When you have 20 people, there are no problems with this. When 50, begin. When 500 or several thousand is no longer a problem, but pain.

It is like a garden - while it is small and picked up from congenial people, it is enough to water and weed in time. But if there are many different colors, more effort is needed. What are the tools for garden care, we describe below.

To unite people, you need to gather them in one place, inspire, teach, entertain, reward, punish, give responsibility, give information and do a dozen more HR pieces. Some corporatives in the fresh air here will not do. We need a permanent platform for such activities.

Internal HR portals are a good solution. If you do it right, they live, grow and help the company grow. Not in words, but in life.

We share the experience of creating such portals on Bitrix24.

Goal

Increasing the flow of applications due to the promotion of groups in social networks on Instagram and Facebook.

Tasks

• monthly increase in subscribers,

• building up a loyal user base for the word of mouth effect,

• attracting clients to training programs

We notice the general trend of simplifying content and delivering marketing messages to consumers. Landing page designers (landing pages) are a prime example. Tilda, LPGenerator, PlatformaLP - tools that do not require serious skills in web development. If you do not require a wow design, the site can be made in a few hours. This will be a full-fledged web page. There will be forms on it, you can sell something with it.

Bitrix released its designer landing pages in October 2017. In the first six months, users created hundreds of thousands of pages. At the presentation in October 2018, ~ 100 thousand pages of shared access were announced.

The next stage is an army of marketers, promoting the sites of Bitrix24 in various channels from all sites. This stage is in full swing. The volume of traffic will only grow.

The next wave - the heroes-analysts who rake up the traffic debris, sift valuable ore, indicate the direction of development.

What stage are you now? When will you go to the next?

Say “online store” - what is remembered? Beautiful site for retail sales.

Shopping cart, large photos, “selling card product”, “place an order” and so on.

Thousands of articles have been written about such stores, templates of such stores can be downloaded on the Web or installed along with the content management system.

The owners of such stores integrate them with trading platforms (Google Merchant Center and others), working to increase conversion. The main question is “how to attract? how to sell?

But the online store may be different. The online store can be focused on wholesalers, on regular customers, on interaction with branches and distribution networks.

When a client comes to us who has already independently placed an advertisement on Facebook, as a rule, he already has a page, an advertising office and a pixel (that is, the code that needs to be placed on the site to collect the audience and track events). For our convenience, we make ourselves administrative access to customer data and work through the Business Manager. But if a client created a pixel from a personal page, and not from an organization’s page, then access to it is impossible.

Why do you need GeoIP

Your task is to show different phones / prices / availability of goods depending on the user's city? Or maybe you want to simplify the user ordering? - These tasks rest on the automatic determination of the country / city by IP-address.

Is it difficult to locate a user by IP address? Probably not difficult. But to do it qualitatively - the task is not for the faint of heart. There are several reasons for this:

1. Accuracy is extremely low and varies depending on the base of IP-addresses.

2. IP addresses are constantly changing their location, and site owners forget to update their databases.

3. Developers have a temptation to go along the curve track and start accessing online services.

4. Developers too lazy to do caching

5. The name of the city, which returns the geo-base, it is difficult to associate with the site location and business logic.

6. In Bitrix there is no ready-made component to display / change the city

The difference in labor intensity between “and so come down” and “reliable solution” is 20-40 man-hours. We stuffed cones for a long time, and when we’re tired of it, we put together all our developments in one cool module for Bitrix.

The main goal of any online store is the sale of goods or services. One of the main tools for making sales through the online store is, of course, a shopping cart. In the article we will try to figure out why this tool is often not an assistant, but, on the contrary, a hindrance in the “went to the site — saw — acquired” algorithm.

For those who want to find a panacea for the lack of sales through the online store in this article, we have some advice - think in a comprehensive way, do not look for the source of problems in only one place. We analyzed the baskets in online stores and reviewed the errors encountered.

I can’t say that every online store has a snowflake personality, but there are still several large groups for which some tips will ultimately bring profit, while others are not relevant. So read, taking into account the profile of your activity.

When choosing the appearance of a product card, placing buttons, developing an order algorithm, you must take into account the characteristics, tastes, demographic and other indicators of a potential buyer.
