How to Get the Most from Social Media
Posted October 12th, 2015
Companies today need to have a presence on social media because it has become such a dominant mode of communication. It can be an effective way for companies to advertise their brand, and raise their profile.
But too often, companies go on social media without knowing how to make the best use of it. As a result, they squander the opportunity of social media. Here are a few things companies need to keep in mind when they decide to go on social media.
1. You need a plan.
Some companies simply jump on a network and start posting willy-nilly. There is no rhyme or reason to what they post. Their content is all over the place, with no clear direction. As a result, they get little engagement and little response.
Before beginning to post, you need to have a strategy, a purpose in mind of what you want to accomplish by posting on a network, and then all of your efforts need to be geared toward achieving that goal.
2. Don’t constantly advertise the company
Naturally, you are going on social media to promote your company, but there are many different ways of doing this. Continually touting your company will soon wear thin with your audience and you will lose traffic as a result.
People go on social media to network and learn about their industry. You need to plan what type of content you want on your site to attract people and get them interested.
3. Be unique
Don’t simply copy what you see others doing. Why should anyone visit your site if they can find the same thing elsewhere? Try to make your content unique, something found nowhere else.
4. Use the real world for your inspiration.
Many people find their ideas from looking at other sites online. If you want your content to really stand out, you need to go to the real world for your ideas. Look at what is happening with your business and its employees.
5 . Make sure your profile is up to date.
This is the first thing people see when they visit the site, so you want to make sure everything is current. You need to make sure your description is engaging and intriguing enough to pull people in.
