When you are determined on social media marketing and advertising, make sure to involve your emotion. In social media platforms, emotional side of its user play very well since it will bring good relationship (and good relationship between company’s brand with the fans is very valuable). What’s important on social media is how you share that love and show others, your friends, colleagues, customers, social media connections and the public, you truly care. It means more than empty words. It’s about actions. Here are several tips to “show” your company’s love on social media platform:
- Share posts and other forms of useful information on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Plus and Twitter. Before you share something, ask yourself if it’s worth someone else’s time. You want to be known for curating useful information, not just broadcasting your spammy advertisements.
- Leave a comment on blog posts, articles and videos. What do you think? Did the information help you? Go beyond “Good” or “Nice post”. Engage with them.
- Engage with people who appreciate your content and brand.Reach out to them on other platforms. Alternatively, send them a message.
- Respond to comments on your contents. Show you care about your readers and the effort that they took to read your post and respond.
- Answer questions on a forum. Do your brands have relation in a specific area where they can answer other people’s questions or problems? LinkedIn is useful for business topics.
- Retweet useful content. Don’t share tweets just because the person tweeting is well known. Check out for the information as well. Will your followers think it’s worth their time?
- Add commentary to your tweets. Give followers guidance on the information you’re sharing to make it more personal.
- Participate in a Twitter chat. You don’t need to be a Twitter guru to contribute to the conversation.
- Follow people back on Twitter. Twitter is a communication platform. One way to enhance your ability to communicate is through following people. This doesn’t mean you don’t check who’s following you and eliminating bots.
- Upload and share images on Facebook, Google+, Flickr and other platforms. Give others a glimpse into your company’s life.
- Thank someone.What matters is that you recognize their effort. Be generous with your thanks. Include people who give you relevant information, who lead chats, or do something special.
- Give people a reason to connect to you. Don’t just send Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ requests to anyone. Let the person know why you want to connect with your page and brand.
- Take your time and don’t react in haste. Being emotional in a good time is good. However, you have to control it as well. Remember your emotions get channeled straight from your brain to your fingertips and the result may be less than flattering. The Internet, where social media resides, is forever.
- Skip the foul language.It shows the opposite of love. On social media, you don’t want to incite people needlessly.
- Respect other people’s privacy. Don’t share confidences or images you’ve been asked not to. These individuals may have reasons for not sharing publicly.
