When you have a social media account that is only promoting one’s own products, it can quickly get boring for your followers.

Try to post funny, informational, and entertaining content that gets your customers engaged and talking.

However, make sure that the content you do choose is something that lines up overall with your business’s identity and theme. You don’t want to go out on left field and confuse your customers.

There are plenty of online platforms in which users can find information about your brand. Make sure you are consistent. Strengthen your brand message by connecting your presence across the various social media platforms.

For example, if you are a hotel, you can have a TripAdvisor tab on your Facebook page. This will allow Facebook folks to see positive reviews without leaving the page!

Does your brand support a social justice movement, political belief, religion, or cause? Do you plan to include this in your branding and your overall story or will you focus entirely on your customers?

This is something to think about carefully.

You want to be able to live with the results of your business over a lifetime.

Causes do change over time as well as people’s feelings for them.

Once you align your brand with a cause, you’re going to connected with it forever. Think long and hard before doing this. Is this part of your defining mission? Is there longevity in the cause you are choosing?
