Wondering how Social Media can benefit your business? It can—
Grow Your Audience
Build Trust
Share Expertise
Are you ready to explore the formula for social marketing success?
Clear Objectives
Start with clear objectives to produce quantifiable results.
Know your Audience
We’ll help you segment audiences and metrics.
Create a Strategy
Create a Strategy (always after goals, not before) then determine the Tactics.
Who Will Execute
Determine who is doing the implementation.
How will you measure your success? These need to be metrics tied to your goals. If your company has a small budget, awareness and engagement can be measured by social shares, website traffic and time on site. If you are using lead generation tactics, your lead nurturing followup can produce qualifiable results and sales.
Once this plan is in place here’s where we can help make it happen.
We audit the entirety of your current content efforts, including:
Personas
Buyer personas (which we described on our page about Creating Content) will provide a good guide to where (and how) you should be socially active, what questions to ask and what resources to offer them.
Topics and Themes with Editorial Calendars
A monthly posting calendar reduces stress and keeps your social marketing campaign on track.
Content Creation and Integration
Repurpose your existing marketing materials and create new ones to fill any gaps.
Content Distribution
Evaluate and recommend paid media opportunities.
If this is your first step into social marketing we’ll identify who you want to reach and where and then help you reach your target audience by providing you with tools, insights and content that will boost your profile.

Eight years ago, I was frustrated that my website company would not promptly make the site changes I needed. Timely changes are critical for our social media marketing. I found it’s good to complain. I had the ear of our wedding photographer, who is active in the community. She introduced me to a company she was sure could solve our problem, and they did.
The team at Imagine, Inc. built a beautiful website with all the functionality we needed, including membership, donations, reservations, and a beautiful shopping cart. Their ability to work with an extensive management group was especially appreciated.
