Suitable Digital & Social Media Communications Approaches

Facebook

Facebook are the leading social media platform with 1.59 billion users. Advertising represents 95% of companies’ quarterly revenues, engaging with this market allows Tannahill Reay opportunities to target consumers via smart paid advertising.

Auto-play videos have recently been watched by 22% of users. Tannahill Reay specialise in digital modelling, so a brief video advertising their successful retail projects would attract consumers.

 
Due to recent algorithm changes, (a pay option), Tannahill Reay can have their content advertised to a TA, without having to waste valuable time and money building a fan base to achieve the same outcome.

Issues: 59% of users engage in social media ads however, only 22% click on an advert. A possible explanation could be that users are unwilling to divert attention from something else, however, we believe that even 2% of users clicking on an ad would generate a desirable amount of traffic toward the company. 

According to Ballaben, “…people would opt against seeing advertising when using apps or digital media services” regardless, they will likely withstand seeing the ads in order to avoid paying a premium for no ads.

 
If Tannahill Reay opted to build their TA without paying, only 1% of their fan base would be able to see their content, urging companies to spend money for target segmentation with no guarantee of success.

 

LinkedIn
 
Over 400 million professionals gather on LinkedIn providing excellent B2B communication. With having Microsoft purchased LinkedIn, there’s the opportunity for more refined targeting.

 
Using LinkedIn’s refined targeting options in unison with sponsored content will boost online brand image and help build professional relationships with retail businesses.

HubSpot is an example of how sponsored content can be successful, using ‘native ads’ will bring qualified traffic to Tannahill Reay.

LinkedIn provides advertisers with the ability to set their own advertising budgets. -This benefits Tannahill Reay; with accurate predictions, the company can spend less on advertising while gaining more.

Issues: 3/4 of over 55s find advertisements annoying, creating an issue as it shows they have not found a way to tap into the over 50 professional market. Regardless, we believe retail businesses will most likely bring success to Tannahill Reay.
