You’re an MSP or a BSP. You get it. You provide transformative IT solutions and services that keep businesses running, growing, and thriving. You’re mission-critical. But there might be a tool you might not utilize to its full potential, and it’s called social marketing.

What is social marketing? It’s using online channels to build relationships and interact with potential and current customers. That sounds simple enough, but social marketing for MSPs differs from other industries because you sell to business owners and IT decision-makers, not consumers.

Here’s the thing: your potential customers are on social media talking about their business challenges and looking for IT solutions. They might still need to learn they need your services! So, if you want to be top-of-mind when they are ready to make a purchase, you need to engage with them on social media.

Not only is social marketing a great way to generate leads, but it’s also an excellent way to build thought leadership and establish your brand. When you post helpful content regularly, people will start to see you as a go-to source for information about all things IT.

As an owner of a specialized business, regardless of size, you can only do some things yourself. You have to delegate and trust others to get the job done. The same goes for marketing. You can only do some of the marketing yourself. Instead, you should build a system where your entire company does marketing for you.

Here’s how to make your entire company a marketing machine:

1. Define Your Marketing Message

The first step is to define your marketing message. This is what you want your customers and prospects to know about your company. It should be clear, concise, and on-brand. Once you have your marketing message, ensure everyone in your company knows it inside and out. This will ensure everyone is on the same page regarding marketing the company.

2. Make it a team effort.

Your marketing team may be small, but you can still delegate tasks and get everyone involved. Assign specific roles and responsibilities to each team member so everyone has a chance to contribute. And remember to give credit where it’s due! Publicly recognize team members for their hard work and achievements, so they feel appreciated and motivated to keep up the excellent work.

3. Encourage Them to Share

Encourage employees to share your company’s content on their social media accounts. This will help amplify your reach and ensure your message gets in front of more people. Don’t force them to do it—you don’t want them to seem like they’re selling out—but allow them to opt in. You can also create social media share buttons on your website so it’s easy for visitors to share your content with their networks.

4. Involve Your Employees

After you’ve defined your marketing message, it’s time to engage your employees. They should be able to talk about your company in a way that is consistent with the message you’ve defined. They should also be familiar with your brand voice and tone so they can deliver the message in a way that is on-brand. Provide them with training materials, such as an FAQ sheet or a brand guidelines document, so they can reference it when they need to. A great way to provide detailed information is through eoVideo!
