Social Media Marketing (SMM) Services

Helping you expand your reach, socially

Look at your last five social media posts on your business pages. Were you talking about yourself the whole time or sharing value? Are you posting consistently, or just when you have a few spare moments to post something? Social Media Marketing (SMM) is essential to increase your brand reach and build customer loyalty, but only if you do it authentically. 

Knowing what social media channels to use (hint: you shouldn’t be using all of them) and knowing what and when to post can be challenging. Social media can be a powerful source for building your brand story and capturing leads. 

We will help you determine the social media channels that give you the best ROI and create a content strategy for posting authentic, value-driven content and help build customer loyalty.

Social Media Marketing 101: How to boost your ROI

Running social media accounts for a business is not like posting to your personal profiles. You need to post purposeful content that supports your brand messaging and builds brand awareness and trust for your business. The best business social media accounts are ones where you feel someone from the business is actually engaging with you, rather than an autoresponder or canned response (or no response). 

Your first step to getting started with social media marketing for your business is to know your customers (their preferences, buyer patterns, personalities, which social channels they use). This will help you be where they are online and create the content they’re craving from your business. But that’s only part of the story. 

The social media algorithms are complex and they have precise criteria that they look for when deciding which posts to show in feeds. You need to play by their rules if you want to increase your reach. 
Some businesses use a combination of organic and paid social media campaigns. No matter how you do it, knowing what the social media algorithms want can help you post the right content and graphics so that the algorithms show it to more people. These algorithms often change so you need a social media team that is up-to-date on all the geeky details, so you don’t have to be.

Why all businesses need to be on social media

In business, you already know that you need to hang out where your customers hang out. At least 72% of adults use at least one social media site and spend about 145 mins on these accounts every day (although we think this is low). 

Social media is the best way for brands of any size (especially small to medium-sized businesses) to gain exposure in an authentic, humanized way. It’s the best way to influence your customers and build loyal fans.

We won’t lie to you, it will take work to establish and maintain your social media presence, but the return can be even bigger. Having the right strategic roadmap for your social media accounts (which Out-Smarts can create) is your best chance to use this valuable marketing tool to your business advantage.

Ali Shukor, Director of Clinical Strategy, City Centre Urgent Primary Care Centre

Samson Consulting worked with Out-Smarts through my client, Great Bear Rainforest Essential Oils (Coastal First Nations - Great Bear Initiative). Mhairi and her team were able to provide all the elements needed at both the strategy and implementation levels. They also recognized needs beyond what was requested, such as including beautiful original photography, that had a deep impact on the success of the campaigns.


I was particularly impressed with their creative approach and ability to maximize impact for my client, while being mindful of budget, including significantly growing the social media audience, creating avenues for meaningful engagement, and increasing brand awareness. Clients are in good hands with Out-Smarts Marketing.
