This is a question we get regularly from different printing businesses.

They ask, “Does Social Media Actually Work for Print Companies?”

And the answer is…  Maybe!

 

What Does Social Media “Working” for You Even Mean?

This is the real question that has to be asked.

In our experience what most print companies want from social is new business, returning business and higher frequency of orders from existing customers. There are the exceptions such as print companies who are already growing and are looking to change up their entire brand identity & messaging. That is more of a creative endeavor that requires a different set of tactics on social than the goal of just generating new and more business from social.

So is that what you think about when saying you want Social Media to “Work” for you? Generate New Business?

If yes, then keep reading because that is our area of expertise (not branding or identity).

 

How Can Social Media Work for Your Print Business?

1. Be Present

Of course this seems like a no-brainer, but unfortunately many print companies are not posting to social media. Why aren’t they posting? No time, don’t think it works, don’t know what to post about, etc.  But that is the biggest problem. Not being there for any reason guarantees social will do nothing for you and generate no leads or sales.

2.Be Active

Some would call this consistency or even engagement and those descriptions work as well, but posting regularly at some frequency is the minimum effort level needed for success. 3 or 5 times a week is all you really need to see an increase in traffic from social to your site and an increase in awareness for your business. We recommend either posting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday or 5 days per week Monday – Friday.

3. Sell

This is thing that most printers find troublesome. It’s felt that you can’t sell to people on social media. But the fact is that you need to be. Posting awareness level content is great to give people a glimpse into your world and connect with you on that, but it’s just as important to show customers what you can do, what your value proposition is and move them to buy. This is what brings you that increase in new business from social media.

 

And that really is it.

You can do as much as you want or just the bare minimum and you’ll see results. Guaranteed!

    We wanted to share this example of a Direct Mail piece that is extremely simple but uses the power of personalization to increase it’s effectiveness.

    This company, Supplement Superstores, has their store managers send out Thank You cards after in-store purchases with personal handwritten notes that mention what was discussed in the store during that visit or about the products purchased.

    Doing this has increased their customer loyalty and customer retention allowing them to grow significantly year over year.

    Hopefully you can use this as an example of the power of print when talking to prospective customers.

      Commercial Real Estate Funds have HUGE opportunity to grow with so many deals to be made in the market.
      The great news for funds like yours is that investors are clamoring to find reputable firms who are engaging in profitable deals and developments.
      The question that most commercial real estate funds have though is, “How can I find new investors?”.

      In this post we share two of the easiest ways to connect with these new investors.

       

      Competition in the Real Estate Fund Space

      Competition online from platforms like Fundrise, Crowdstreet are real competitors that are crowding the space, but real accredited investors aren’t using these platforms. Private Accredited Investors, Institutional investors and family offices are all looking for the expertise of successful / proven firms & funds that can the get job done with deals that will pay off big.

       

      How Commercial Real Estate Funds Can Increase Investor Leads Online?

      Most real estate funds simply reach out to their existing network. Previous investors, partners, colleagues, friends and family are all strong sources for raising funds. And while that will bring success there is the obvious limit our how much liquidity exists within that network.

      But what if you want to go bigger by raising more capital and closing larger deals?

      To increase capital you have to expand to outside of your current network and using digital marketing will get your there. Advertising to investors online is literally the most effective way to scale your visibility and generate new investor leads. Here are a couple strategic approaches to how this will work.

      1. Investor Acquisition Online using LinkedIn Advertising
      2. Advertising on Investor Networks and Publications to Increase Awareness & Investor Leads

       

      Finding New Commercial Real Estate Investors for your Fund using LinkedIn Advertising

      Most fund managers know that LinkedIn is a great network to connect with and directly reach out to commercial real estate investors, but what most don’t know is how to run successful campaigns on LinkedIn that are efficient and scalable which deliver a consistent flow of eager accredited investors.

      Running these ad campaigns get you in front of those investors and makes it easy for them to see your message and connect by calling, messaging or getting more information to start the conversation on investing with in your fund.

       

      Increase Visibility for Your Commercial Real Estate Fund by Advertising on Investor Networks & Publications

      This is similar to the LinkedIn ad campaign strategy but different in that you aren’t targeting individuals but instead making your firm / fund visible on the finance, real estate, and investment websites and publications those investors are reading.

      By sharing the message on your ability to drive big returns for investors, you’ll have a consistent flow of opportunities that will fuel your funds growth.
