In the past week, I’ve heard this question multiple times. What do I post on my pages? So I thought I would share my insights on what’s worked for me & our clients. I truly believe that social networking is an art form. There’s really no way of saying what makes the perfect post because like artwork, everyone has a different perception! Too often I see marketers turn their social media accounts into the traditional old-school advertising channel, using messages that are completely over thought and not engaging with their customers and/or social media fans & followers!

So I thought I would share my insights on what’s worked for me & our
clients. I truly believe that social networking is an art form. There’s really no
way of saying what makes the perfect post because like artwork, everyone
has a different perception!
Too often I see marketers turn their social media accounts into the
traditional old-school advertising channel, using messages that are
completely over thought and not engaging with their customers and/or
social media fans & followers!

3. My suggestion.... Snap out of it, and follow a couple of these suggestions
that I’ve seen truly work for our campaigns without having to pay for any
additional boosting of posts!
1) Be Personal – Show off the team, show off the minds behind the social
media, what happens behind the scenes that no one gets to see! Show this
off!!
2) Be Honest – I’m a huge believer that the more honest you can be with
your social, the deeper the relationship will grow.
3) Be Real - Ask questions to find out what you can do better with social,
business, people, processes, and maybe even new products & services.... All
based on real customer feedback!

4. 4) Be Fun – Don’t feel that you can’t have some fun with your social. No
matter how corporate of an environment, people love fun brands! Think
about Richard Branson and Virgin... What’s your first thought? Probably Fun!”
5) Be Informative – Create & share content that will help your customers
understand your industry, and help them with tasks in their daily lives.
6) Be Giving – Give back to your fans/followers. The more you give the more
you receive! I’ve found this true in every case of life, and I’ve seen the
power of social giving. It turns your fans into loyal supporters.
7) Be Creative – Think outside the boring blog, podcast! Take your brand
viral with a contest that has never been done before, do a post that you’ve
always wanted to try, ask the team to think of the wildest ideas, and filter
from there.
