Social media is all about conversation, and this conversation has to be interactive and open.

This tracking allows you to understand your standing in the social media market, and alter your strategies accordingly. It is very true that you have to be very consistent in your social media campaign; however, this consistency has to be coupled with experiments and innovations. The foundations remains the same, only external elements keeps on changing.

3) Stay connected: It is always essential to stay connected with your target audience. This helps you understand their behavior, requirements, and pain points. This knowledge makes 'give and take' with your audience more interactive and innovative.
