Your 2015 Social Media Strategy: Keep it Simple
-- PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit article offers actionable advice to jump-start your 2015 social media strategy
NEW YORK, Jan. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a new year and among the anticipation, predictions and resolutions that are being made, as a small business owner, now may be the time to re-evaluate your social media marketing strategy. In the past year, if you found yourself signing up for countless new social media networking sites, chances are you've spread yourself too thin and may be doing more harm to your business than good.

Kemari Howell, marketing coordinator for Pubsoft.com, believes that if you keep your strategy simple and consistent, you can prevent the following from happening:
- Time and money loss. Signing up for any or all social media accounts can be a resource drainer. Research what social networks your client-base frequents and don't spend time or money engaging on a social site that doesn't align with your business efforts.
- Content crash. Churning and burning out content for all these sites can make your brand appear sales-y or spammy. Don't risk turning off future or current clients because you initially missed the mark and the content falls flat.
- Decrease in client conversions. The focus should always be quality engagement versus quantity. Don't lose out on client conversions because your brand lacks focus on various social networks.
