Objective:
To develop and implement a comprehensive strategy for engaging previous customers on social media platforms to maintain connections, foster loyalty, and encourage repeat visits to your Etsy shop. The goal is to increase customer lifetime value (CLTV) and drive sustainable growth through meaningful interactions and personalized content.

Deliverables:

1. A detailed social media engagement plan that includes:

   • Frequency and timing of engagement (e.g., Instagram Stories, Facebook Marketplace, Pinterest Pins).
   • Types of content to share (e.g., product showcases, customer testimonials, behind-the-scenes content).
   • Strategies for re-engaging inactive customers (e.g., re-targeting ads, personalized emails).
   • Metrics to track success (e.g., engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate).

2. A customer journey map that outlines the customer's experience from first-time purchase to repeat visits, identifying touchpoints and pain points.

3. A report analyzing the effectiveness of the engagement strategy, including key performance indicators (KPIs) such as customer acquisition cost (CAC), customer lifetime value (CLTV), and return on ad spend (ROAS).

Best Practices:

• Leverage industry best practices for customer retention, including:
  • Personalization: Use customer data to tailor messages and content.
  • Consistency: Maintain a brand voice and tone across all platforms.
  • Frequency: Engage customers 2-3 times per week, with a focus on quality over quantity.
  • Trust and Transparency: Build credibility by sharing behind-the-scenes content and customer testimonials.

Quality Expectations:

• Ensure engagement activities align with the customer's interests and preferences.
• Measure and report on key metrics to demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) of social media efforts.
• Maintain a high-quality content strategy that includes high-resolution images, engaging videos, and interactive elements.
• Regularly audit engagement strategies to ensure they remain effective and aligned with business goals.

Technical Considerations:

• Tools and Technologies: Use social media management tools like Canva, Hootsuite, or Buffer for content creation and scheduling. Implement analytics tools like Google Analytics or social media
