Social Media

Social media is powerful, popular and absolutely necessary for your brand. Anchor can show you how to make it work to your advantage.
Anybody who’s suddenly noticed a couple of hours slip by while they were scrolling knows just how potent social media can be. The statistics are certainly telling: there are 4.74 billion social media users worldwide, that's 59.3% of the population.  The average person spends around 151 minutes daily on social media and switches between seven different accounts. But, like anything, social media is what you make it. You can use it to chew up your time, or you can use it to build your business. In fact, if you intend to grow, it’s essential.

The Benefits of Social Media

How can a social media agency on the Gold Coast help grow your business? In a place like Australia, where more than 80% of the population is on social media, social media has all kinds of advantages, including:

Increased traffic to your site

Well-crafted social media content can be used across different channels to drive traffic to your website. 75% of marketers say social media has increased site traffic, and 90% say it has increased exposure.

Incredible popularity

Social media is so widely used that it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t at least have one account. Social media ads are one of the top ways people learn about new brands and the number one method among Gen Z. If you plan to reach a younger demographic, a social strategy is essential.

Precise targeting

Trying to appeal to all demographics isn’t the best strategy on social media. Luckily platforms like Facebook Ads are highly customisable and allow you to specify factors like age, location, interests etc. This lets you find the customers you’d prefer easier and faster.

Creative potential

There are so many ideas you can explore when it comes to social media. You may have heard that video is 1200% more successful than other forms of content, generating more likes and shares than text and photos combined. With social media, you have the freedom to explore all kinds of content, including interesting videos, competitions, giveaways, and behind-the-scenes looks at your brand.

The Biggest Social Media Platforms

Anchor’s strategy for social media marketing on the Gold Coast includes the following players:

Facebook

The most widely used social media website with almost three billion users, Facebook is the world’s third most visited website behind Google and YouTube. It’s incredibly customisable and budget-friendly, with ads that are easy to set up and a world of existing users. It also has a lot of retargeting potential, so you can run ads to target your existing customers with new products and specials.

Instagram

Instagram has over a billion monthly users, ads are easy to create there, and you can make use of the benefits of an engaging video or beautiful photo. Because the Meta family also owns Instagram, you can use Facebook Ads or tools like Hootsuite to create and share content across multiple channels.

Twitter

While you may have limited characters to work with, Twitter is a productive place to build a community around your brand. You can chat with customers and run targeted ads for less money.

Spotify

Advertise on Spotify, and you can reach music lovers with ads that blend into their listening experience naturally. The world’s number one music streaming service allows targeted advertising and easy-to-track results.

Youtube

YouTube has a reputation for being the second biggest search engine after Google, and it allows you to educate, entertain and win over new customers with the effective power of video.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the platform to be on if you want to target your advertising to professionals in a particular industry or role.
