Your Project

Social Media Marketing

We suggest creating 1 posts per week on Facebook and Instagram. These will consist of relevant content in regards to Bright Futures. This will exclude job postings which will be reactive and ad-hoc. We are looking at increasing the visibility overall we need to think about consistently placing content on relevant platforms.

These will both be supported with branded visual aids which we will create and can also be used across other platforms.

This will build reputation and create brand awareness.

LinkedIn

This B2B social platform is perfect for your business to build a reputable following to create engagement and referrals. This would consist of 1/2 posts per week and any imagery or content will be a joint effort between Visions and Bright Futures.

Twitter (optional)

This platform we aren’t overly sure on for Bright Futures and isn’t something we use as a business however do have the capability to complete. This would consist of 2 tweets a week with relevant content similar to other platforms.

 

We are conscious that the ultimate aim of posts can be different so we will drive traffic to the website via the blog page but will also consider the use of Occupop for job postings. *

Achieving Great Things For Your Brand

At Visions, we understand that branding isn’t just about choosing a logo or colour scheme, it is about developing your marketing tactics across all platforms in order to create lasting value.

SEO

Content is King.

“If you’re not putting out relevant content in relevant places, you don’t exist.”
– Gary Vaynerchuk

“67k searches are performed on Google every second.”

“93% of all online experiences begin with a search engine.”

Don’t forget that it is common for a customer to see your website or your social media before encountering any other part of your business so it’s important to keep it brimming with fresh content. Updating your social media accounts every time a blog is posted means that lots more people are exposed to your content.

Generates new leads and sales

Fresh content generates leads and sales! High quality content stands out in a crowded market, allowing you to become the best of the best and increases your sales as more and more customers discover your brand and what you stand for. Good content stands out more to consumers than competitors who constantly force sales posts upon them. Fresh content that is high quality subliminally advertises you to consumers but in an honest and worthwhile way, they see you as being experts in your field and when the time comes that they need your product or services they come to you!

Adds value to your product/service

Any content that adds value to your customers or potential customers is a good thing. Most people ignore sales posts on social media; so insights, tips and tricks are always a great way to inform and engage with people all while building your brand image. Content that adds value to consumers, be it by educating them on the relevant topics in your industry or on the product or service you offer is ideal for adding value.

Increases traffic

As mentioned above; high quality content helps your SEO, online presence and brand/ customer relations but it is also a great way to increase traffic to your website. A website with limited content that was added the day the website went live and hasn’t been updated since will have a high bounce rate (The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page), a low amount of returning traffic and very little engagement. However, a website with fresh, up to date and meaningful content will have a lower bounce rate, a higher number of returning site visitors and a higher rate of engagement.

Process and Timescales

The timescale for a site of this nature can take anywhere in the region of 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the turnaround time regarding review and feedback. We can work to more specific timings within reason.

1. Kick off Meeting

A kick off meeting to get to grips with the project and ensure full understanding of all requirements will be scheduled. From here a creative brief will be developed internally and sent to the design team.

2.Website Content

We will require skeleton content at this point, if not all. It is ideal for us to have an idea of what content will be involved throughout, in order to give us a steer on the development of design.

3.Design

Initial creatives will be developed and will be sent through for review before a full wireframe design roll out is created and signed off.

4.Build

Once the design has been signed off we will begin the development of the site. Once complete we will review and test internally, before sending over for full review.

5.Go Live

When everyone is happy and the site has been signed off, we will then schedule to go live. We have a dedicated go live checklist to ensure all boxes are ticked and no links are left unclicked! Once live, we will be on hand for any support in the event of any technical problems.
