Good post on what makes a brand shareable on social media

I selected this article from Curatti written by Farid Gasim because it provides information on how to build more brand awareness on social media.

 

The more likable you are by your audience the better chance you will increase visibility.

 

Win Favor With Your Social Media Community

 

Despite a lot of competition there is an audience in your niche just waiting to be "wowed" by your brand. I agree that adding value to their lives can help bring in more loyal followers.

 

Gasim goes over how to achieve favorable influence with your target market on social media.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Leave traditional sales language at the door. People typically use social media to connect, gather information, and find answers to their needs.

 

  • Communicate with your audience rather than just giving out information. Ask them engaging questions to get the conversation going.

 

  • Use negative feedback as an opportunity to show your community that your brand cares. They will see that you have both humility and understanding, which can go a long way.

Is Facebook Right for You? | Business 2 Community | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Often these days, content marketers are syndicating content across platforms in social media, Facebook included. The CMI, for example, noted that 80% of B2B content marketers are now posting content through Facebook. In any content marketing play, it’s almost inevitable that Facebook will be brought up.

 

But too often, people expect sponsored stories, a couple of funny posts and some good videos will be enough to change the very nature of their brand in the social space. But let’s take a step back for a moment and look at what exactly is happening in the space. Social media relies on people having an implicit trust in one another, and for brands, it becomes very difficult to put your faith or trust in something so abstract. Take a piece of research by Forrester. It suggests that the majority of content being posted by brands just isn’t being trusted. There are a few reasons why this might be the case....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Where is content marketing struggling and how can it be improved? At the end of the day, for consumers, the key question is can they trust the brand and the information it shares?
