No pressure 😳

Gone in 60 seconds has nothing on social media users.

The other day we consulted a small business that wanted help understanding how to make their content more effective.

When we started looking through their content, it was obvious what the biggest problem was.
The first 4-5 seconds of EVERY video on their social media was just displaying their brand name. Nobody wants to spend time just looking at a brand name or logo, how long would you look at the Nike or Starbucks logo?

It's SO important to find ways to help viewers remember you, but it's not going to happen by just throwing your brand name in their faces.

Your followers and customers want VALUE, and if they follow you it means they want that value from YOU.
Don't waste their time by spitting product facts or trying to convince them "this sale won't last long".

Understand your target customers' core concern, and find a way to address it in the first few seconds of your content.
If you get it right, your followers will tell you, and if you keep getting it right, those followers will eventually turn into paying customers.

It might not be what you think?

Most of the small businesses we work with have put loads of time and money into building their brands, only to continue struggling with the brand perception their target audience has of them.

Think of a big brand you know, like Nike or Starbucks for example. What is your opinion of them? Is your perception based on their brand marketing? What your friends and family have said? Or your own experience with their products?

Most small businesses don't have the big budgets to market the perception that they want their target audience to have, so what do you do?

You rely on your fans, followers, and customers. Give them an amazing story and experience to share with their networks!

Let your fans, followers, and customers build your brand for you!

Facebook is getting a Facelift!

If you haven't seen it already, you will eventually. Facebook has updated its looks, feel, and interactive features to make it easier to use and easier to navigate.

https://about.fb.com/news/2021/01/introducing-the-new-page-experience/

We're rolling out a new intuitive Page design with more robust engagement and management tools.

"How do I know who my post reached?"

While it would be great to know individually who your post reaches, we can't. What we can see though is who engages with our posts and content, we can see who liked it or commented on it.
In a way, it's better for us. Because not every single person that see's our posts or content is going to be our target audience.

Comment your Facebook Questions!

12/02/2021

Have you updated your business cards recently?

10/02/2021

User engagement is a huge factor in the Facebook algorithm.

So every business should be looking for ways to create and improve user engagement on Facebook and their other social media platforms.

Comment your Facebook questions!

How long does it take you to post on Facebook?

Time is valuable to small businesses, so we want to help you save some time on your Facebook marketing by teaching you how to schedule a post.

You'll save a lot of time and stress, which you can use to focus on other parts of your business.

Comment your Facebook questions!

03/02/2021

Almost 90% of us scroll Facebook without sound.

You're on a break scrolling through Facebook, you scroll across a video that looks interesting but you can't tell what it's about. You don't want to bother anyone by turning your sound on so you just keep scrolling

This scenario happens all the time, and because so many videos are playing on Facebook without captions, they aren't getting the views that they deserve. Please put captions on your videos!

Leave your questions in the comments!

Content Marketing is worth it!

We won't lie about it, it's a lot of work. But it can be so beneficial to your business when used correctly.

If content marketing wasn't effective, then why would the biggest brands in every industry be using it?

Because it's powerful! For example, on Social Media, content marketing has given small businesses an even playing field with big brands. Allowing small businesses to reach and market to the same audience as the big brands use!

Are you using Content Marketing?

29/01/2021

Need some content ideas?

Coming up with great content ideas can be frustrating sometimes, you want to create good content that your viewers will enjoy, but you don't want to keep doing the same things over and over!

Try learning from competitors! We don't recommend copying and pasting their content, but using it as inspiration!

Give it a try!

27/01/2021

Having the right expectations when doing content marketing is vital to the health of your business and your sanity.
Below are a few of the misconceptions or unrealistic expectations some business owners have when doing their content marketing.
- Mass producing content (quantity over quality)
- Everyone is going to share this
- Because we're different it's going to work
- All we have to do is post something

Content Marketing works, there's no argument there. The lack of success that many small businesses experience usually comes from a lack of knowledge or experience, and understanding how to effectively execute content marketing.

Our recommendation is to get educated, learn how to do it properly, or hire someone who can. The investment will pay off with more effective and efficient content that will help your business grow.

25/01/2021

Content is VERY important if you want your online marketing to be successful.

Your customers are spending hours every day consuming content, if you want to connect with your audience, you need to start creating it for your brand.

23/01/2021

The short answer is, "yes"

Many brands and businesses are either using social media to market their brands, or they feel that they need to be using social media to market their brands.

Whether or not social media marketing is right for your brand comes down to one question, "Where is your target audience"?

If your target audience is spending time on Facebook or LinkedIn, then you should be marketing on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Take your brand where your target audience likes to spend time, go to the platforms they are spending time and energy on.

And if you don't know how to market on the platform your target audience is hanging out on, learn how or find someone that can do it for you.

22/01/2021

There's good content and there's great content.

We get asked often how to create better content for social media, these are the three things we tell people whenever they ask.

When you understand these three components, creating great copy becomes so much easier.
