A solid social media strategy plays an important role in a brand's marketing success.

But how do you prove you’re the right social media manager (or agency) to take their online presence to the next level?

We’re sharing our top tips for writing an effective social media proposal.

What Is a Social Media Proposal?

A social media proposal is a document used by freelance social media managers and agencies to propose social media marketing services to prospective clients.

Typically sent following a discovery call, a social media proposal outlines the potential project, its scope, and all the must-know details — right in a handy dandy deck or file.

Before you start working with a client, it's vital to set clear expectations around what you'll be delivering . This will help prevent miscommunication or frustrations down the line.

Additionally, a social media proposal is the perfect opportunity to showcase your social media expertise and why the client should work with you.

How to Create a Social Media Proposal !

Ready to make your very own social media proposal? Here’s everything you need to know.

1: Provide a Brief Overview

The number one piece of the social media proposal puzzle is its purpose. Open with a brief overview of the proposed project’s ultimate goal, expected results, and general expectations from both parties based on the client’s needs. This gives the client a taste of what they can expect, and allows you to iron out all the details before kicking off the project.

#2: Propose Measurable Social Media Goals & Objectives

Dedicate a section to identifying the client’s social media needs and/or problems discussed in your initial meeting. Then, outline 3-5 objectives you aim to achieve for the client using SMART goals.

#3: Set the Scope of Work & Deliverables

Contrary to popular belief, when it comes to a social media proposal — you should sweat the details. Include a scope of work section that details everything you’ll do for the client. This could include: Posting and scheduling, Content creation and curation for weekly Instagram posts, Daily community engagement in comments and DMs, Weekly keyword and hashtag monitoring, Monthly analytics and reporting. Make it clear who will do what, how the feedback (and revisions) process will work, and what the client can expect to receive.

#4: Outline the Budget & Payment Schedule

Another pivotal social media proposal tip? Be up front with the budget! Presenting the budget and payment schedule up front is the way to go. Social media is constantly changing and clients often want new things — so it can feel a little awkward to discuss increasing your rates to compensate . You should always be clear and direct for smooth sailing.

#5 Detail Next Steps

Two words: What’s next? That’s the exact question you should answer to wrap up your social media marketing proposal. How long does the client have to review the proposal? Are revisions possible? Is there an expiration date? Detail what happens after the proposal is sent and how to officially get the ball rolling.
