For today’s tip we’re going to take a look at Facebook profiles

Facebook Aire Media BlogIt is really important to ensure that your company information is as complete as possible on Facebook.  A lot of people think because it is “only” Facebook that this doesn’t matter, but it makes a good impression and is a free and easy way of getting all your relevant information in the public domain.

Make sure your profile includes your website address, your location, your opening hours and a concise description of what your business does.  It is also important that when you’re choosing the relevant business type you choose the most appropriate.

Remember a good Facebook profile makes a good first impression!  It also makes it easy for your customers and potential customers to find you.  Isn’t that great?!

A small but often overlooked bit of advice for today’s Tip on Tuesday

TwitterTipsAireMedia

Twitter lends itself perfectly for multiple people to use the same company account. 

It is a nice touch for each person who uses the account to sign off their tweets with their initials.  Whilst giving the company account a more personal touch, this also means that customers know who they have spoken to and are able to connect via other methods to the company and ask for the person they want.  Customers like continuity, especially when it makes their life much easier – and as a result makes it much easier for them to buy your service or product!

A pinned tweet or indeed the company bio is the perfect place to name who is using the Twitter account.

Did you know you can now add Gifs into tweets?  This can be a really great marketing tool.  It won’t work for every tweet you write, but add an appropriate Gif into one of your tweets and it will catch people’s eye.  Don’t overuse the tool, but a carefully shared Gif can ensure certain tweets reach further.

For today’s Tip on Tuesday we’re going to work with Pinterest.

Pinterest is a really great way of showing your company’s personality.  You can afford to be a little frivolous on Pinterest. 

Why not create boards for all your employees to share the things they love.  It changes a faceless company into a group of people potential customers can really relate to because their personality shines through.

It’s great to be professional.  It is brilliant to be professional with personality.

Today’s Tip on Tuesday can be applied to all your social media channels.

Troll Tips on Tuesday blog

Quite simply today’s tip is about trolls.  Sadly social media trolls are not as cute as the little guy above, who we like a LOT!  And we say mute them on Twitter or unfollow them on Facebook!

We prefer muting/unfollowing to blocking for a couple of reasons: –

  1. The person you have muted does not know you have muted them
  2. Muting essential does the same as blocking but it can be easily reversed if you change your mind.

Trolls want a response.  They will soon get bored and move on if you don’t engage with them.

That isn’t to say you shouldn’t block and/or someone who is becoming increasingly abusive.  However for a more diplomatic action, which can be important with a work brand, muting is the way to go!

Did you know that YouTube is the second largest search engine and processes over 3 billion searches a month.

Having a YouTube channel can be a real bonus for your brand……if you use it wisely.  Keep videos professional looking and less than one minute in length.  lengthy videos simply lose people’s attention and it is virtually impossible to get them back!

Today in Tips on Tuesday we’re going to visit Facebook

Facebook Aire Media Blog

It is really important to remember that on Facebook short posts stand out.  In a channel where there isn’t a character limit, the one liner posts can be eye-catching and of course read in seconds which means you have customer engagement. 

Long messages CAN work but they MUST be compelling.  If they’re not exciting enough, people won’t finish reading the post and your message will not get through.

Keep it concise and informative.  Grab people.  Once you have made the initial connection, then you can start having more lengthy conversation.
