Today’s tip on Tuesday can be – and should be – applied to all your social media channels.
It is really important that you don’t flood your networks with spam. That isn’t to say you can’t post regularly – if you have something important or fun to say, then by all means say it! But don’t post for the sake of posting. There is nothing more annoying to a potential customer than seeing constant, irrelevant content.
Live by the old adage, “it is quality not quantity!”
Today’s Tip on Tuesday can really be applied to any of your social media channels.
Today’s tip is really simple. When you’re on social media don’t mistake a public reply for a private message! It is really important to ensure that potentially sensitive content is kept off your timelines.
To avoid this, once a conversation with a prospective customer is ready to move to DM I simply send a message and ask for an email address so I can take any discussions fully away from social media to prevent any mishaps!
For today’s Tip on Tuesday we’re giving some general advice that you can apply to all the social media channels you use.
A very simple tip; don’t beg for followers!
There is nothing more off-putting on a social media account than a brand begging to up their follower count. By all means join a networking hour or group and suggest you’d like to make some useful connections, but keep it businesslike, not asking simply to get your follower count up.
Remember to aim for valuable followers due to the quality of your content.
Today’s Tip on Tuesday is small but beautifully formed and can be applied to all your social media channels.
Profile pictures are wonderful – they’re your online shop window. Each time you make a post on any of your channels, your profile picture will appear.
It is really important to make sure that not only is your profile shot the correct size for each platform (you can follow our handy guide to image sizes)but that your photograph is clear in a smaller size. It is no good having your logo as a profile shot if it is simply a little blurry square, you want people to know it is you posting!
Today’s tip is something that can be applied to all your social media channels.
Scheduling tools can be a very valuable resource when you’re managing a number of social media accounts and mean that you can ensure you have a presence even when it is impossible for you to be online.
However, it is vital to ensure that you also maintain a live online presence – don’t rely on scheduling tools to do it all for you. Ensure you regularly login to all your social media accounts to deal with queries, to make use of industry specific current affairs and to make it appear that your account has a personality. It is really easy to tell which social media accounts are done solely via scheduling.

Don’t forget to have your website linked from your social media profile and vice versa. You want to make it easy for people to find you – don’t make them work for it! Make sure your social media channels are linked from your website (and do ensure they open in a new tab/window!) and make sure your social media profiles contain at the very least an obvious website link.
Don’t be bashful – be seen!

So today’s tip is, if you like what someone is doing on social media TELL them. Everyone likes to know they’re impressing someone, so whether it is another business, or an individual pop a comment on. It is a great way of making links and you can be sure that if you say to someone “hey, we love what you’re doing here”, they will look at your profile and take the time to reciprocate.
Happy social media love in all!
