This is What Professionals Do.
As social media becomes a go-to communication platform for consumers across all demographics, it's important for companies to increase their brand awareness on the platforms their audiences use. Leveraging these social media platforms effectively can help create strong connections with customers, draw them to your business and build brand loyalty.
We have some tips for you that could help improve your overall brand loyalty and attract new loyal customers to your business.
#1. Engage with customers
Building a sense of community and connection with your customers is the foundation of brand loyalty, and it's easier now than ever with social media. Engaging customers will help them feel included and show them that they are important and valued. This means liking and responding to comments, sharing people's posts, answering their questions and telling them how much they're appreciated and valued.
#2. Make your clients the hero
Leveraging the power of social media increases brand loyalty and shouldn't be dismissed when building an effective marketing strategy. The secret includes making your clients the hero. Showing their journey and transformation from using your product or service needs to be baked into your business process.
#3. Share user-generated content
Another way to build loyalty through social proof is by sharing user-generated content (UGC). UGC refers to photos, videos and other content that shoppers create about using a brand's products. This content builds trust in shoppers because it is created by customers, not the brand. Invite users to tag your brand and use branded hashtags so you can find UGC more easily and share it on your page (with the creator's permission, of course!). If you share UGC frequently, you'll encourage participation from shoppers who want their content to be seen by all of your brand's followers.
#4. Show your human side
People tend to be more open to doing business with you when they connect with you on a personal level. For this, it's important that you include some posts on your life or behind the scenes of your business among your posts. So for example, if you have a company that employs numerous workers you can share images of your team members having lunch together, or if you work for yourself you can share a photo from your pet's last rip to the vet. In this sense, in order to determine if a particular content is appropriate, you should strive to maintain good taste and consider what are the values you're transmitting with this particular image.
#5. Create exciting challenges
Create some form of challenge with your product or service that people are excited to take part in. Brands can encourage consumers to rate their products or create unique content with their products in return for prizes or perks. This engagement widens your brand reach without spiking the marketing budget and if done well, will build you a larger consumer base excited to engage with you brand.
#6. Shout out your team
This helps create such a positive, supportive culture among team members. I believe one of the best things you can do in business and on social media, in particular, is become someone people love to work with.
