Social media marketing strategy for your social media platforms

Here are some tips to improve the use of social media for your business.

Reviews

Reviews are one of the most effective marketing strategies to generate leads for your business. Encourage your recent customers to leave a review both on your Facebook page and on Google. To build on this create posts with each review to encourage further engagement and build trust with your followers and audience.

Create a brand personality

When posting to platforms like Facebook, it is important to create your own brand personality. Business pages should not solely focus on selling products and services, followers expect content to be varied and engaging, along with telling your brand story. Posts featuring ‘behind the scene’ footage and ‘meet the team’ are powerful methods to build your brand on social media with your followers.
