10 Social Media Plan Templates & Free Resources for Beginners

Neha Lad

Social media planWhen I first started my consultancy business as a Social Media Marketer, I spent tons of time drafting, formulating and perfecting my proposals, pitches and presentations. In the process, I referred to many blogs and articles on various sites from Bufferapp to Hootsuite. A few of them really did help and add value to my learning.

Many social media plans I read through lacked that punch to convince prospective customers. In my opinion a plan should be such that streamlines your efforts while reaching for your goals. A good plan should outline your goals, objectives, target audience, target media, campaign concept, proposed tactics, timeline, budget, and ends with your past credentials.

Research has shown that more than half of the small to medium sized businesses need help creating their social media plan. It is for this reason after doing a thorough research on marketing & social media plans I put together these social media proposals (templates) that will help you cut through the clutter and guide in designing a better plan which is unique to your objectives. These 10 templates will help draft your proposal more effectively and add more value to.
