Here are a handful of ideas you can use to build your brand on Twitter:

Industry trends

Twitter is often a go-to place for people to stay on top the latest trends and waves in an industry. As an expert in your industry, share what’s happening. One of the reasons why people are still on Twitter is how easy it is to post in real time. Remember to stay within your space. It’ll help you be authentic and true to your brand. Below are a few ideas:

  • Quarterly performance reports for the top companies in your industry

  • App engagement rates for social media marketing companies

  • Industry leader research reports

Ask questions to understand your followers and industry

To gauge the interest of your following, use questions to interact on Twitter. Asking questions is an effective way to keep better tabs on the industry you’re in. By using this idea, you also open up opportunities to solve problems for customers before they leave you a negative review.

Releasing new content

Did you just publish a new blog post on your website? Tweet it! Have you created an infographic that helps your customers better understand how to use your products? Share it with your followers on Twitter. For evergreen content, don’t hesitate to share evergreen content more than once. Remember that the creation of content is pointless if you don’t share it with anyone.

Tweet live coverage of events

This tactic is especially effective when you’re marketing a sports team or a company that does live workshops. For sports teams, you can share play-by-play coverage. You can also give updates on scores, injuries, and substitutions. Another tool that can help with your Twitter coverage is using live videos.

For events like conferences and seminars, share the top quotes from the speakers.

Add a profile photo and a cover photo

Believe it or not, not every Facebook Business Page has a profile photo and/or a cover photo! It’s super easy to do and will help Facebook users quickly recognize your brand. For starters, use your logo as your profile photo (how to add a profile photo to your Facebook Business Page).

Your cover photo can be a little different. Images for your cover photo could be a picture of people using your product or service. It doesn’t need to be complex. Facebook users just need to be able to tell that the cover photo is tied to your brand (how to add a cover photo to your Facebook Business Page). Keep in mind that you can also add a video as your cover for your Facebook Business Page.

Respond to all comments and direct messages

Build your brand loyalty by responding to any and all comments and messages you receive on your Facebook Business Page. It’s an easy way to be aware of conversations happening around your brand. It’s also a simple way to increase sales and keep customers happy. When you ignore messages and comments, you increase your chances of receiving a negative review. Don’t ignore people who make an effort to communicate with you.

To connect and keep everyone as happy as possible, focus on listening to what’s being said and be authentic. Staying true to your brand will encourage your customers to see you as a real company who cares.

Post consistently

Sticking to a schedule will help you manage stress and accomplish your social media marketing goals.

A common mistake many brands make is not sharing content on a regular basis. To keep people coming back to your Facebook Page, stick to a regular schedule. Daily posts are an effective way to reach as many people as possible and quick way to figure out what types of posts get the most engagement. If you can’t post every day then aim to post at least three times a week. Remember that regular Facebook posts show Facebook users that you’re an active business and that your Facebook Business Page can serve as a resource for them.

In order to stay on top of your schedule and not feel overwhelmed, use Facebook’s scheduling tool for posting (how to schedule posts on Facebook). You can save yourself a lot of time by putting Facebook’s scheduling tool to work for you.

Complete your About section on your Facebook Business Page

Despite Facebook users visiting your Facebook Page, some of them may prefer to go to your website or even contact you in ways other than direct messages and comments. It’s important to include the following information in your About section:

  • Website

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Company Overview

There are other sections you can fill out as well, but be sure to provide the information for the items listed above. It’s important to do this so you can give yourself more opportunities to close a sale.
