The four quadrants of the Social Media Strategy Matrix are: High Impact/Low Effort, High Impact/High Effort, Low Impact/Low Effort, and Low Impact/High Effort. Activities that fall into the High Impact/Low Effort quadrant are the most desirable, as they will have the most impact with the least amount of effort.
