Social Media
"We need to be on social media too" is easy to say. The hard part is knowing which platform, what to post, and how often, so the time you invest actually brings in clients, not just likes from friends. Here's what a social media strategy that makes sense for a small or medium business in Târgoviște looks like.
Choose the Platform Based on Your Clients, Not on Trends
You don't need to be everywhere. You need to be where your client is:
- Facebook remains solid for a local audience, 30+ years old, neighborhood and city groups ("Târgoviște - Ce se întâmplă", buy-and-sell groups). Good for services, local businesses, events.
- Instagram works for anything with a visual component - products, portfolio, transformations (before/after), team. Younger audience, more attention to image quality.
- TikTok brings high organic reach, especially for authentic content, behind-the-scenes, humor tied to your field. It requires consistency and a bit of curiosity, not big budgets.
The simple rule: if you're just starting out, pick a maximum of 2 platforms and do them well, instead of spreading yourself across 4 and doing each one superficially.
What to Post: a Mix, Not Just Product Ads
An account that only posts "Buy now!" tires out its audience quickly. A healthy mix looks something like this:
- Educational content - tips from your field, frequently asked customer questions, simple explanations. Builds trust.
- Behind the scenes - the team at work, the process behind the product or service. People buy from people, not from logos.
- Social proof - real reviews, photos with satisfied clients (with their consent), concrete results of your work.
- Offer/product - yes, you're allowed to sell directly too, but as part of a mix, not as the only type of post.
How Often You Post Matters Less Than Consistency
You don't need to post daily for it to work. It's far more important to post consistently - 3-4 times a week, every week - than to post intensely for a month and then disappear for two months. Algorithms and people alike notice and reward consistency, not raw volume.
The Local Community Matters More Than It Seems
For a business in Târgoviște, engaging with the local online community is an advantage that large, national companies don't have: reply to comments, engage in relevant local groups (without spamming), collaborate with other local businesses on joint posts or cross-recommendations. These local connections build trust much faster than cold ads to an unknown audience.
What to Measure, to Know If It's Working
Likes and followers are easy to track, but they say little about the business. Track these instead:
- Messages and questions received directly from posts or your bio - a clear sign of real interest.
- Traffic to your site coming from social media (visible in Google Analytics).
- Real conversions - bookings, orders, quote requests - not just reach or impressions.
A page with 500 active followers who ask questions and buy is worth more than one with 5,000 passive followers who never engage.
