So you want to get social with your brand? First make sure you are using the platform to your brand’s advantage. Lots of companies do not understand the pull a brand can have on social media and make the mistake of using it as a calendar of events or an unwanted task that aunt Betty can take care of in her spare time.
Social media is a place to build a brand’s voice. You want your social media to speak to the consumer’s heart and head. And consistency is the key. It is true that social media can look like the wild west but if your social page doesn’t have a consistent theme that speaks to your audience and makes them want and need to see your next post you’re doing it wrong.
Go look at some of the companies that “GET” social right. Here is one example.
