I like to think of this plan like a roadtrip. Start out by pointing yourself in the right direction, then choose the way you’re going to get there, check in regularly to make sure you’re on track, and have some fun along the way.

Step 1: Choose your social networks

Step 2: Fill out your profiles completely

Step 3: Find your voice and tone

Step 4: Pick your posting strategy

Step 5: Analyze and test

Step 6: Automate and engage

Once you identify your niche, now is the time to concentrate on content development. Make a Social content calendar and decide for the entire year what should go in before hand. This way you are prepared. So now you know where(Eg.Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc) and what (Content). Now comes when?

"When" is very very very important. You have to identify what time and days of a week your content engagement is high. Once you identify this, use tools like HootSuite to schedule and automate posts.  

Having said that, either Facebook or any other social media organic posts will not help in spreading awareness of the brand or sale. You need to promote/Advertise your business. 

To advertise >> Select target audience >> Decide budget >> Make Ad copy >> Start publishing.

As frequency goes up, your CPA(cost per acquisition) goes up. Need to continuously monitor your Ads, so you keep your CPA falls in your budget.  

Landing pages are very critical, as well Call to Action(CTA)s, hence design it carefully.

For User Engagement, use videos/giveaways/puzzles. 

Social Media Metrics >> Website clicks, Bounce rate, CPA, CTRs 

To monitor these metrics, use tools like Google Analytics with UTM parameters

Also, do remarket using Google Adwords. 

Many tools like AHREFS, MOZ will help in understanding competition. 

So to summarize -

1. Watch for competition

2. Identify Niche

3. Promote 

4. Analyze 

5. Remarket 

6. Do A/B Test 

7. Get feedback 

8. Review Strategy for better

Good luck!

When we use the word complete strategy, I very much doubt anyone who does not know the full details of you desired goals can give you one. Know that whilst it great to think have many platforms is the best bet but not all platforms are ideal for every type of business, this is reflected by the fact that many business social media accounts have little to no activity on certain platforms. So first you need to identify the relevant platforms and then you need to get the process of creating the page, adding the media, the necessary information started and always a good idea to have some starting posts before you start targeting users, not many people are impressed by start up pages that lack content. Further down the line comes follower acqusition strategy, I can't go into that or it would turn out to be a book here. User engagement, feedback, ideas and if possible giveaways should be a part of the daily routine. Use the industry standard tools to measure performance metrics and make changes and/or find room for advancement. This is just the basics of general strategy.

The most important thing to consider while designing a Social Media Strategy is to know that Social Media is a tool/platform and not the strategy itself. Don't design something around Social Media rather understand the client and their needs and then choose the appropriate Social Media platform and strategy. 

Secondly, ask what the client hopes to achieve with their Social Media presence is it only for sales and promotion or does it include Public Relations, Customer Relations, Branding, Outreach, Customer Support etc... Over here when we say customers we imply both internal and external.

Also, its necessary to know what is the Client's Portfolio and Target Market. This is important because different types of people prefer and are influenced by different Social Media Platforms. For instance Celebrity followers may prefer Twitter and Instagram rather than say Facebook and LinkedIn.

Focus should also be on Augmented Campaigns : which include Offline as well as Online engagement  activities between Client's brand and the target audience.

Finally, the budget. You must understand that most if not all Social Media activities may require some investment. Design a Social Media Strategy keeping in mind Client's budget and expectations from their Social Media Activities.
