Good post on what makes a brand shareable on social media

I selected this article from Curatti written by Farid Gasim because it provides information on how to build more brand awareness on social media.

 

The more likable you are by your audience the better chance you will increase visibility.

 

Win Favor With Your Social Media Community

 

Despite a lot of competition there is an audience in your niche just waiting to be "wowed" by your brand. I agree that adding value to their lives can help bring in more loyal followers.

 

Gasim goes over how to achieve favorable influence with your target market on social media.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Leave traditional sales language at the door. People typically use social media to connect, gather information, and find answers to their needs.

 

  • Communicate with your audience rather than just giving out information. Ask them engaging questions to get the conversation going.

 

  • Use negative feedback as an opportunity to show your community that your brand cares. They will see that you have both humility and understanding, which can go a long way.

How Brands “Duke It Out” on Twitter | The Vandiver Group

Twitter may be the newest battleground for big brands. While these duels appear to be all in good fun, one can’t help but notice how much attention both sides are getting because of a little friendly brawl. Ad Week highlights two conflicts between four very high profile brands. Oreo recently got dunked by AMC Theatres and Taco Bell mixed it up with Old Spice.

 

Sometimes, Twitter is all about understanding your audience. Oreo asked its followers, “Ever bring your own Oreo cookies to the movie theater?” AMC Theatres replied @Oreo “NOT COOL, COOKIE.” This response was certainly not what Oreo had expected. However, maybe this little dose of creativity and engagement is why AMC Theatres has over 136,000 followers, while Oreo has about 53,000. Shane Adams, the voice of the AMC Theatres Twitter account, explains that these posts are not just about being clever. He says that Twitter is about trust and how a brand’s voice is defined. Once the audience knows the brand personality, they will be able to relate more to the brand. Oreo responded @AMCTheatres, “Fair enough, but don’t hate the player, hate the game.” No hard feelings here, just a little social media creativity....
