Social Media Soars Using These Techniques

Today, social media dominates online marketing. Yes, you can place ads, but where? Facebook? Twitter? If you have followers, can they become customers? Share information with your target audience in a user-friendly format — they will appreciate it and reward you by becoming a customer.

  • Be aware. Look to other companies that have good social media marketing strategies. Watch for concepts that are popular or trending that you can tie in to your product
  • Be calm. While trying to be enthusiastic, do not overuse exclamation points or other punctuation.

  • Be consistent. Everything should connect back to your identity. All posts should sound like they are coming from a single source, so make sure that every post has a similar feel to the others.
  • Be different. Each social media platform is made for a specific purpose, so use the channel for its specific purpose. There can be overlap, but it doesn’t make sense to post the same thing on every platform
  • Be concise. The shorter, the better. You only have a few seconds to catch the reader’s attention as they scroll. If your copy is too long, no one will read it. Try not to exceed three lines.
