A lead can mean many things to a business, from replying to an EDM to scanning a QR code on a direct mail campaign or completing a lead form on social media.

Here’s your how-to guide on lead management across some of the go-to platforms that your business should be utilising, as part of your marketing strategy.

Social Media Can Be MORE Than Brand Awareness

 

Many of us think of brand awareness and engagement when it comes to using social media but it can be a valuable lead generation tool if used correctly.

Take Facebook, for example, people are sitting there scrolling for hours and if they are served an ad and are interested in clicking it they will be looking for a seamless experience so that they can get back to their scrolling.

Well with built-in lead forms social channels are READY to serve your brand and capture leads without leaving the native app.

Yes, social users may not be actively searching for your product or service but with in-depth targeting, you can tap into high-quality leads because a potential customer won’t click on your ad if they’re not interested! They will also take notice with a MEMORABLE and CREATIVE ad (which we can help with…)

 

Here are a few tips on how to use social media marketing to generate leads:

1. Create Clickable Content

With your ad carousel, why not tell a story that your customer can click through. Connecting with your customer on this level will engage your user and then direct them to where you want them to go next.

2. Use CLEAR Call To Actions

Your user won’t know what to do next if there isn’t, for example, a button saying ‘SIGN UP’, ‘LEARN MORE’ or ‘BUY NOW’. Clarity is key!

3. Contact Information

Make sure your social profile has your correct information displayed! You wouldn’t want to lose a lead because you’ve got an old number or previous opening times displayed. Especially where business hours may have changed due to COVID…

4. Community Management

People want information NOW. Before clicking to find out more, purchase or head to where you want your lead to go, your customer may drop you a DM or comment on your content for more information. Be sure to invest in community management to nurture that uncertain prospect!

Remember not ALL channels will work for your product or service:

Direct Your Customer To A Landing Page

 

Landing pages are a tried and tested method to maximise lead opportunities.

A landing page can be a page on your website, which you can track using a unique URL to actively measure the success of a marketing campaign in driving traffic to your site. Or a landing page could also be a personalised page that you only want people that you’re targeting in a specific campaign to see.

For example, Lyft’s landing page (pictured below), which magnifies the main intention of those they are trying to reach: drivers looking to earn money easily. This is a unique link that they use as part of a paid marketing campaign.

 

 

Lyft has two CTAs on this landing page, one for those ready to apply to become a driver and one for those who are unsure and want to find out more by calculating how much they could make!

Offers And Promotions

 

Everyone loves an offer and this could be THE missing component when trying to convert that all-important lead. However, it doesn’t need to be given to anyone and everyone.

With a personalised and targeted approach, you could utilise your offers and promotions to capture a particular audience. For example, by using behavioural retargeting we can serve customers who have already visited your site with an advert tailored to them.

Your existing customers and even employees can also be utilised as brand advocates to drive new leads to your business. They already use and trust your business!

Shady Rays, an eco-friendly sunglasses company uses their customers to generate leads by encouraging them to provide email addresses of friends who may be interested in the brand too! If the customer’s friend goes through with a purchase they get a $15 reward:
