The Importance of Being Social 24/7

Man your social media sites for an effective social marketing

Socializing is part of business, even if you don’t think of it that way. The tactic is to basically increase visibility, encourage conversation, and above all, get your connections to interact with you. 

While creative and valuable content creates engagement, it is just as necessary to make sure that it is visible all day every day. This is the real trick because it’s hard to accomplish, especially if your social interaction is left to fifteen minutes during a break in business.

Expanding from “me” to “we”

The most effective social networking practices incorporate the art of working together. Scheduling tools can be applied, but the important thing is to have someone ready to interact at all times. Put together a team that can share the task of social networking. These can be various individuals within your business, and it will help to increase versatility within your social content. 

It is also necessary to follow your own topics. The social world is large and it isn’t likely that your business name will be limited to just your site. Such as in applications like Twitter, you’ll want to be able to follow up wherever your brand is used. This will help increase visibility and even create a larger following of people.

These strategies do make it necessary to construct a team to assist you. But, there are tools and apps available that are becoming popular because they allow scheduled postings and update notifications. Make the most use of your technology applications in order to ensure a constant online presence. 

Choose wisely

If it is too difficult to manage all of your social sites, choose the most valuable and stick to those. Don’t leave social sites lying dormant or unmanaged because that is one of the biggest negative first impressions your brand can make. Invest your efforts into the most valuable, and don’t leave your networks unattended. 

This raises the question of how valuable third party published apps are to your sites. Social links between Facebook and Twitter, such as Instagram and Pinterest have been disputed as having little effect on an audience. But, they are just as effective in their own ways. Different audience members may appreciate these apps, meaning you shouldn’t be concerned about using these apps because they can help increase visibility within a new audience. Additionally, the use of third party app posting tends to stimulate word of mouth marketing. Situation in hand- “did you see my Instagram posting of that cute dog?” Different audiences will demand a different approach. Don’t be worried about expanding your applications and opportunities. 

Maintaining a constant presence on your social sites is integral to your online visibility. Be sure to integrate a 24/7 social strategy to ensure that you make the most of your social networks. It takes determination and focus, but with the right team and the right strategy, you can turn your social site into a success.
