Yes, you probably know this already and that’s okay, but it works! People need to be regularly reminded why they follow you in the first place and posting on a consistent basis is the first step to keeping your followers engaged.
By often, we mean as much as you can. Studies have shown that videos outperform pictures by 100%.
Whether you’ve just used them on Instagram and Twitter, Facebook has integrated them into their platform as well. This is a perfect way to get your content out in front of people who might not follow or like your page/account!
Rather than flooding your timeline trying to ‘sell something’, throw in a few client testimonials, memes or jokes, shout-outs, etc. You’ll be surprised how well these do!
Make a habit of making sure each post has something in it related to your company, like colors, logo, slogan, etc. Doing so will help your social media account stay professional no matter what you post.
When a business partner or client posts about your business or work, share it! This is a great way to say ‘thank you’ and get another post out there.
People love to put a face to the name! Try shouting out an employee or posting a little something about yourself to spark interest in your business.
Facebook & Instagram show you page insights to let you know how each post is performing. By seeing what’s working and what’s not is the perfect way to perfect your social media strategy!
This is a perfect way to get a conversation started around your products or services! Finding ones related to your industry can be easy and usually have your target audience already in them!
By hosting a giveaway or contest on your page is a great way to have your followers share your content with their friends and family. This is key to getting your page out in front of new potential customers & followers!
Next time you make a post, ask your followers a question. Doing so will help your post be seen in front of more of your followers along with boosting your engagement.
If you’re creating your own graphics, it’s a good idea to keep the text less than 20% of the entire image with your image as the main focus – especially if you’re doing paid advertising.
If you work with another business, there’s a good chance if you shout them out on your page, they’ll do the same on theirs! What better and easier way to reach a bigger audience!
Rather than rushing to find something to post each day, try scheduling posts out days in advance. This will help on days where you can’t think of anything to post.
Nothing is worse than looking at an account that has outdated content that turns customers away. Make sure all your accounts are up to date and have the right information – it’s like putting your best foot forward.
By looking at competitors in your industry you can see how people are responding to them and adjust your social media strategy accordingly. Who knows, they might be onto something?
People love to see what it’s like behind the scenes. Giving your followers an inside scoop to your day-to-day is a great way to keep them engaged.
One of the cheapest ways to advertise your business is through social media. Investing a little into paid ads can give your business’s social media account the boost it needs!
When someone comments on your post, a simple like or comment back goes further than you’d imagine! Taking that extra step to engage back with your users is the perfect way to keep them coming back for more!
Since they’re the ones using your product or service, their advice and opinion is important!
Managing your social media account shouldn’t feel like a chore. Make the best of it by posting things you’d like to see, along with your followers and be confident in your choices!
