In this one month plan all
activities are organized in accordance to the sequence or order of
implementation. At the first, goals and budgets will be developed that will
work as guideline for all other activities carried out in this plan. Moreover, plan
ends at the evaluating of overall performance outcomes and final report that
will enable the managerial staff to identify limitations and find a better
solution for the next time. Somehow, in final report will also cover the
customer’s response and feedback about the social media marketing efforts done
in one month.
Evaluation
Evaluating the above mentioned
plan and social media analysis in accordance with my personal social media
marketing experiences and skills I can say that Subway still needs to bring
more improvement and refinement in their social media marketing plan. Facebook
is an effective platform but only when social media marketing campaign has
enough strength to grab the attention of viewers or audience (Halloran and
Thies).
Considering this there is need to add professional and creative content writing
styles in this content to ensure success. Professional writing skills and
previous knowledge about social media advertising can support in making this
social media marketing campaign highly successful.
Summary and Recommendations
The whole discussion concludes
that social media marketing and advertisement has significant importance for
the organizations that are working in a highly competitive market. Subway is
working in the food industry as a B2C business oriented company. Subway is
highly concerned with the social media marketing campaigns for their new
products and services. Somehow, efforts done by Subway Company are still
insufficient to meet market requirements for marketing and promotions in order
to remain sustainable and deal with the competitor companies in an appropriate
manner.
Considering this social media platforms and
customer responses on these platforms are analyzed and a solution is suggested
to Subway Company. The analysis presents that the company should start focusing
on Facebook to promote its social media marketing. Potential of the audience,
flexible budget, and audience specification features are the key reason to
select Facebook as the most suitable social media marketing platform. Moreover,
one month plan is developed for the Subway Company that will include writing
creative and attractive content about credit card discounts, special offers,
weekend special, games, feedback, and information about new products. In
addition, some recommendations are drawn in the light of these analyses as the
company should pay more focus on social media marketing as compared to other
marketing strategies. The company should always try to respond or reply to
their customer's comments to increase their engagement with Subway.
