The main difference between using multi-channel marketing to push public accounts and using the public account backend lies in the strategy, reach, and control.
Multi-channel Marketing:
- Strategy: This approach involves promoting a public account across various platforms such as social media (WeChat, Weibo, Douyin), email, SMS, and other digital channels. The goal is to reach a broader audience and drive traffic to the public account.
- Reach: By leveraging multiple channels, you can potentially reach millions of potential followers, increasing brand visibility and engagement.
- Control: While this method offers extensive reach, it may lack centralized control over the message and user engagement. Each channel might require different strategies and content adjustments.
Example: A company uses WeChat, Twitter, and its official website to promote its public account, creating a unified brand message across platforms to attract followers.
Public Account Backend:
- Strategy: Focusing on managing and optimizing the public account itself, including content creation, user interaction, and data analysis. This approach emphasizes quality over quantity, focusing on engaging with the existing audience effectively.
- Reach: The reach is generally more targeted and concentrated on the followers who have already subscribed to the public account.
- Control: Offers greater control over the content, user interactions, and analytics. It allows for personalized engagement and precise data-driven decisions.
Example: A business focuses on creating high-quality content tailored to its subscribers' interests, responding promptly to comments, and using analytics to understand user behavior better.
