THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA
POST DESIGNS
It’s no secret that visual content dominates social media in your audiences engagement. Whether the image wishes a happy holiday, is an invitation, or shares an infographic; find a way to include it in your social media posts.
GIFs
GIFs are the ultimate attention-grabbing tool for your stories. With their playful animations and eye-catching movement, GIFS are your secret weapon to stand out, engage your audience, and make your stories unforgettable.
VIDEOS
Video is dominating social media, and you can bet this will be one of the most used marketing tactics, so don’t get left behind. Conduct interviews, shoot behind-the-scenes footage, capture a festive day in the office – just remember to share it!
CONTESTS
One of the best tools in your social tool kit is user-generated content. If you host a contest asking fans to contribute photos, videos, or other creative content for a prize, you could later use their entries to populate your social pages.
HASHTAGS
Trending hashtags can help improve impressions and get your brand in front of many new fans and followers.
TESTIMONIALS
Testimonial videos on social media provide powerful, authentic endorsements that can boost your brand’s credibility and trustworthiness.
BLOG POST SERIES
Picking a theme for your series of posts can help you write ahead of time and be ready to share new and creative posts every day.
PINTEREST BOARDS
Everyone is looking to be inspired with ideas. Some of those ideas may even be curated by you! Help them in their search with themed albums and boards that are on brand.
WEBSITE
Don’t forget that social media is just one touch point your customers may have with your brand. If they see certain creative on your social media page (cover photo or post design), it is important to try and keep the look-and-feel of those designs consistent on your website.
Geotagging
Geotagging is more than just adding a location to a post; it’s a strategic tool that connects your content to specific places, enhancing its relevance and impact. At Don Creative Group, we understand the power of geotagging in creating location-based experiences for your audience.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA CODE
LOCATIONS
Adding a location to a post is quick and easy, and the best PR and social media agencies will tell you, so are the benefits. A geotag increases engagement, cultivates an account’s likeability, improves your SEO and provides credibility. Read on as we dive deeper into the benefits of geotagging on social media.
INCREASES ENGAGEMENT
Geotags can help bring people to your page and, more importantly, get them to follow you. The tag can also make tracking where a brand’s audience is located even easier.
IMPROVES SEO
Geotagging plays a huge role in Local SEO. Adding location information to a photo’s description, specifically, a photo on the same webpage as a brand’s description of services, increases search engine confidence scores.
CULTIVATES LIKEABILITY
By tagging Instagram posts and stories to a specific place, users find a brand’s online content as well as the physical location of the business.
PROVIDES CREDIBILITY
As users tag a business in posts and stories, their connections and friends can discover a brand or business and its actual location. The ripple effect is that they will be more likely to trust a brand if their friends do. Ultimately, this increases a brand’s customer base and business.
INSIGHTS
Instagram Insights is more than just numbers; it’s a treasure trove of data that illuminates your brand’s digital path. At Don Creative Group, we dive into the world of Instagram Insights to uncover invaluable insights about your audience’s behaviors, preferences, and interactions.
CRAFTING SUCCESS: EFFECTIVE SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY
UNDERSTAND INSTAGRAM INSIGHTS
Instagram Insights allows you to get access to important user engagement data for your business profile. It’s not just enough to know the raw numbers, such as the amount of likes you get for one post. It’s important to understand your audience, too.
That’s where Insights comes in. It tells you how they do things, what they prefer, and who they are. You can certainly make business decisions based on gut feeling, but you’re much more likely to hit the mark when you can validate assumptions with cold, hard facts.
FIND YOUR BRAND NICHE
When you are starting any business, it is important to know who your target customer is, your brand tone, and what you want to GIVE to your followers. Having a clear brand identity will attract and engage real followers that are genuinely interested in your type of brand. Always remember to provide value to your followers!
Find Your Perfect Instagram Niche
- Ask yourself the right questions. In order to first identify your niche, you have to ask yourself the right questions.
- Have you done some research?
- Have you identified your business goals? • Have you learned about your audience’s wants and needs?
- How can you serve your audience based on their needs?
INSTAGRAM ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Our team understands the nuances of the platform’s algorithms, trends, and user behaviors. From hashtag strategies that amplify reach to content calendars that maintain consistency, our Instagram strategies are meticulously tailored to your brand’s objectives.
MASTERING THE STRATEGY
POSTING CONSISTENTLY
Posting consistently on social media is a big factor in increasing engagement. If you are showing up on your followers’ feeds everyday, they are more likely to remember you and engage with your account. Also, remember to post about the same type of content, so your audience can recognize your photos before they even see your handle attached to it. Using scheduling tools such as Later or Planoly can make planning and scheduling content easier and stressfree.
HASHTAG RESEARCH
Do your #hashtag research. Knowing your brand niche goes hand in hand with this. Come up with a collection of hashtags that relate to your brand and the types of things you post about on Instagram. When you search a hashtag on IG, you are able to see how many posts have been made with that hashtag and this can help you gauge if it is valuable use or not. If you’re a smaller brand, you don’t want to only use hashtags that have millions of posts because you’ll only be drowned out by the other posts.
SHARE YOUR PASSION
Ask yourself: if you were the only person who could see your account’s likes and follower numbers – would you still would you still be posting the same content? Always remember to share the PASSION behind your brand! We promise it will make your overall relationship with social media so much better and healthier. Followers can sense and inauthentic account from a mile away – so make sure that the content you are sharing truly represents you & your brand.
