Tips on Tuesday

Oh it’s only November, there’s plenty of time……then you realise that Christmas Eve is four weeks today!

Open Sign

It is very likely your working hours will be affected by the Christmas break.  Make decisions on when you will be open and available for contact and start rolling out the information to your online profiles now.

People are busy over Christmas – that’s a fact.  If you want to maintain attracting customers over the Christmas period, you need to give them the information as soon as possible so they can factor you into their plans!

Tips on Tuesday

At this time of year we always recommend starting to consider your social media strategy for next year.

Goal image

As with all good strategies, you first need a goal.  Now is the time to decide what your social media goals are for the upcoming period.  Do you want to increase awareness of your brand? Do you want to engage more with current customers? Do you want to increase your audiences? Do you want to convert your audiences into customers? Do you want to become an influencer in your field?

You cannot begin to create a firm strategy for your social media channels without knowing what you’re aiming for!  Don’t forget, the goal isn’t set is stone and can be amended throughout the year by regularly reviewing your strategies.

Step one, decide upon your goal!!

Tips on Tuesday

There are only two sorts of people on social media, those who want more followers and those who are lying!

Slow

I’m often asked by clients how they can quickly increase their followers.  The short answer is, you can’t!

Social media is very much a slow burn.   Much like real life, relationships take time to foster and build; and these relationships need to be built before you can turn your followers into paying customers.   When you decide upon a social media strategy, you must acknowledge the need to commit for not only weeks, but months and even years. 

Remember, the number of likes and followers you have is nothing more than a measure of vanity.  What is important to you is the quality of follower – 100 followers who are engaged, are interested and who interact are of far more value than 1000 followers who are not!
