planning and strategizing should be your foremost step before starting your campaign, skipping this step can lead to colossal waste of time. Most of the companies swallow down this step. Uploading anything anywhere at any time won’t help a brand achieve its target. Planning and plotting are essential for a brand to grow you should jot down your goals and accordingly work towards them.

5. Using All the Platforms For The Sake Of It

Don’t jump on each and every other social media platform. Stick to one or maybe two, and upgrade its quality. Making too many accounts and not being able to handle any of them can tarnish your actual purpose. So rather than putting your brush in every other palate select one and start panting your canvas.

Strategies and select your platform according to your business for example if you have a b2b business than Facebook can be your perfect medium to reach your audience.
