Creative Tips That Will Help You Sell

Anything On Social Media!

Why is Social Media such an attractive platform to sell

your products/services? A major reason being the ability to

reach such a potentially huge audience at fractions of the

cost that it would take if a more traditional route of

marketing is used.

The other major reason of why businesses choose social

media as their main platform for marketing/selling is that it

allows them to identify, locate and then connect (and engage) with their target audience on a

more individual level. The communication is no longer just one sided, and this is why it’s

imperative that businesses be creative while selling anything online. Read More

Post Content That Is Highly Shareable

Some businesses are too uptight to ever think about simply asking

their fans to share their posts (including pictures and videos etc).

It’s never a bad idea to just write in a quick request to your fans

within a post to follow, retweet, like, share, favourite, repin,

comment or share.

Such a request always works best while giving out a freebie or conducting a contest. For

example, you post a certain picture on your Facebook page and ask your followers to share it

with their network of friends. Read More

Reach Out To Your Fans With A Personal Video

Social media is all about interacting and engaging with your

customers. Blindly pushing out updates on your social

media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus

will not get you a healthy response from your fans. What it

will do is increase the chances of people getting annoyed by

your constant posts to sell, and eventually un-

following your social media pages.

That is why your business must make a determined effort to reach out to your audience and what

better way to do that with a video of your company’s CEO/Owner. The basic aim of sharing a

video of your CEO with the fans is to create a sense of trust. Usually, businesses don’t have a

face which people can associate to. Running such an activity on your social mediapages can help

bridge the gap between businesses and customers. Read More

Build Up Anticipation Before A New Product Launch

In today’s fast paced world of technology and social media, hype is something that actually helps

a business sell much more than what a product/service

is worth. Take for example a certain smartphone

company that puts in a massive amount of advertising

expense on its initial product launch campaigns. The

reason being that they know the importance of

generating hype and anticipation for a new product.

For any business (both small and large), it’s important to create a pre-launch strategy for a new

product. Building up excitement by teasing your fans about a new product is a great way to

ensure a great response when the product actually comes out. For examples of building up

anticipation , Click Here

There’s a lot of potential in social media, which only needs to be properly channeled through

creating a well thought out strategy. However, it’s important to always be simple in your

strategy. Simplicity always works and it always sells. Read More
