One of the most important considerations regarding social media is time. Do you have time to commit to posting and monitoring? When it comes to social media, a consistent posting schedule is necessary. This will show your audience and consumers you are in tune with your marketing efforts and are open to communicating and engaging with them. However, a social media schedule does not have to be daunting! Aim for posting at least once a week or a set number of posts per month to get into the social media habit. If time is still an issue, an outside agency (like Fresh Creative) can help with your social media efforts.
