1. It is helpful to review your Social Media Marketing platforms
A few years ago, it was accepted that you needed to utilize a Social Media Marketing platform just because it existed and was popular.
Many businesses quickly realized that approach was often overwhelming and oftentimes the message was spread too thin.
By pinpointing where you can reach most of your customers, you can focus your efforts on the areas that can do the most good, better spreading your marketing message.
For example, a landscape business may want to focus their message on Facebook and Instagram with photo-heavy messages, while an HVAC company may want to spend more time creating videos and uploading them to YouTube, explaining different issues that may arise with heating and cooling systems.
Your primary goal of being on Social Media is to engage your customer. If you are not engaging, your time there is wasted.
2. Consider showing your work in a video
Video is a powerful key for many businesses…
If you can’t do that, sit down and explain useful information related to your company through a video. You become known as an industry leader when you publish videos related to your field.
You can help drive traffic to your website and better compete with top companies, demanding top-dollar for your services.
In addition to video, it is crucial to create high-quality, original content on a regular basis.
If you reach out with relevant, high-quality content on a daily or weekly basis, your followers will know when to expect your content. Over time, your followers will begin to trust what you publish and will give you an opportunity to showcase your expertise.
Eventually, they will start to seek you out first, should they need guidance and information in your field.
3. Additional Platforms
Finally, you must engage your audiences on the platforms you are active on.
Make time to re-post and share content from other related businesses in your feed as well as time to like and comment on existing content.
This makes you a more dynamic force, not just a static one.
