Top 5 Social Media Myths in 2021

Just like any marketing strategy, Social Media Marketing too is surrounded with a lot of myths.
It’s strange that even after a lot of factual data floating around, Businesses still believe in these myths
So we have decided to bust these myths, once & for all!
5 Social Media Marketing Myths
My customers do not use Social Media
- In 2021, 20.5 million Australians are on Social Media. That’s almost 80% of the total Australian Population!
- Either people are using social platforms like Facebook & Instagram to connect with family & friends.
- Or professionals are using platforms like Linkedin to grow their Business.
- In short, almost every Australian is on some Social Media platform.
- So there will be at least one platform where you can easily find your customers.
Social Media Marketing can’t generate sales
- When you post on Social Media, you increase your Brand’s exposure. More people come to know about your Brand.
- As per a report, 54% of people with the internet use Social Media to search for a product or Business.
- So when you are on Social Media, posting regularly effectively, you can generate a lot of sales.
Only young people use Social Media
- Another myth that I wanted to bust a long time back! In Australia, 61% of people above 55 years use Social Media!
- So if you are thinking only young people are using Social Media, think again!
- Even if your target audience is above 45 or 50, Social Media is a great platform to market your product or service.
Paid Promotion is Social Media Marketing
- No, it’s not! You cannot just keep burning your money on paid ads without optimising them.
- You won’t get good results. You’ll end up spending more on ads than the revenue you will generate.
- Social Media Marketing is much more than paid ads. You need to optimise your ad according to your target audience. For this, you’ll need some assistance from a Social Media Marketing agency.
My receptionist can manage my Social Media Marketing
- We agree that your receptionist or your family member may have some knowledge about Social Media.
- But that’s not enough. To run a successful Social Media Campaign, you need years of expertise, knowledge of multiple technical aspects, understanding the customer’s psyche & a lot of time.
- So if your receptionist or a family member manages your Social Media, sooner or later, it will turn into a disaster.
- So it’s better to connect with a Professional Social Media Marketing agency for the job.
