designed marketing plan or lack of one.
![Page 7: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do you use the tools of online
marketing like social media to effectively and
successfully support your business goals?

How does social media fit into your sustainable
business model?
![Page 9: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We are living in revolutionary times where there is a radical
shift happening in many areas of humanity.
![Page 10: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Social media is...revolutionizing our business relationships and it is changing the way we connect and communicate with one another.
![Page 11: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The business tools have changed.
![Page 12: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
However, the fundamentals of solid sales and marketing practices have not.
![Page 13: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You still need to know who your target audience is.
![Page 14: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Is your sustainable brand a B2B or B2C or
both?
![Page 15: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Is your business a “place independent” (virtual)
sustainable brand?
![Page 16: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Or a local-based sustainable
organization?
![Page 17: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
…or both?
![Page 18: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How does your marketing support your
triple bottom line?
![Page 19: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Does your sustainable business offer services
or products or both?
![Page 20: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How do you incentivize your
vendors, suppliers, employees, and
customers to help spread your
sustainable brand and refer business
your way?
![Page 21: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
People still buy from brands they know, like
and trust.
![Page 22: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We still need to ask questions like, “How does
my product or service solve my customers’
problems?”
![Page 23: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How do we articulate that through social media?
![Page 24: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
You still need to know demographics, psychographics, and how your customers
make purchasing decisions.
![Page 25: Launching Your Social Media Marketing Plan For Sustainable Brands](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5554f0edb4c90566278b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
For eco-conscious customers, it’s usually
value-based versus price or convenience.
