Tips on Tuesday

When it comes to your social media feeds, we definitely believe in the old adage that it is quality not quantity that counts!

It is far better to share fewer high quality posts, with excellent information content and sharp images than a whole host of posts which don’t give much information and don’t make the best use of images.

Images don’t have to be professionally taken – however please make sure they’re of a high enough quality not to appear blurry (on both device and desktop) and that if you’re using images you’ve found online, make sure you take note of any copyright thereon!

Putting a little extra time and work into each post will go towards creating social media timelines that work for you.

Tips on Tuesday

Your purpose, of course, on social media is really to try and sell your offering.

However, we really recommend you avoid flooding your feed with hardcore or overt selling.

Social media is primarily a fun way to connect with friends and brands you’re interested in and you might find if your social media timelines are simply post after post sharing what you’re selling you will see people unfollow your content.

Rather than selling, your initial objective on your social media channels should be increasing your brand awareness by increasing your following.  The best way to achieve this is to create engaging and fun content.

We prefer to use the 80/20 rule – where 80% of our content is interesting, engaging, or fun and only 20% is direct selling.

Do you need to revisit your strategy?

Tips on Tuesday

When you’re populating your social media feeds, don’t be afraid to deviate from your plans.

We’re big fans of creating social media plans – whether you choose to do that weekly, monthly or even yearly – however it’s important to remember that a plan is just an intention of activity!

Don’t feel constrained by what you wrote in your plan – it can be so important – and beneficial to you – to be spontaneous on social media. Keep an eye on what’s happening around you and get involved, don’t avoid interesting content because it doesn’t appear at the “right” time!
