Every company promoting goods or services on the Internet can benefit from social networking services. Social media is widely used by a large and diverse range of demographics, and for many it’s addictive. But businesses should not overlook the leading tendencies of social media users, including the time of day, day of the week, and demographics. All social media platforms have the potential to help you grow your brand. You simply need to devise strategies and implement them to increase your reach.
Many companies, mainly service-focused businesses, still prioritize content as a mode of advertising, and marketing professionals continue to use it in addition to social media. But according to a 2020 Statista survey, 76% of US respondents said they used digital communication services during the COVID lockdown. With so many people online, it makes sense to leverage social media to promote your business.
Here are the top 6 tips on how to increase your brand awareness through social media:
- Define your market. You may think you know which social networks your audience uses, but you may be wrong. Fortunately, all social media websites are search engines, which facilitates searches about your niche, goods, or services. Do some research to see which users on various sites look for topics pertaining to your niche.
- Make it controllable. You don’t have to maintain an account on every social network. You most likely don’t have time to constantly update your profile on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other networks. Opt for a few select platforms and concentrate on the quality of your activities there.
- Create appealing content. To gain popularity on social networks, you need to highlight engaging topics. Quickly draw the attention of your audience by adding visual content to your posts. Posts with photographs or videos get the most engagement, and people are more likely to follow their links.
- Treat each social network differently. Users on one platform differ from those on another. Do not make the common mistake of duplicating your posts on different sites. Bear in mind that each audience is unique on every site, so create publications that cater to both the website and its members.
- Be talkative. Practice posting only outbound messages for a while, to track your user engagement. Initiate conversations with different users, mention them in your posts and look around from time to time. You will earn better engagement, more subscribers, and more clicks.
- Reach out to market influencers. Influencers typically have a wide audience, and relevant influencers in your target market can help you promote your brand. Steer clear of popular bloggers that directly compete with your company. For instance, if you are promoting organic food, look for influencers with cooking-oriented blogs.
There is undoubtedly a learning curve to successfully increasing your brand awareness using social networks. You must constantly examine, test, measure, and streamline your performance. Most importantly, you need a quality product that provides solutions to users’ problems.
