Creative Strategies That You Should Try!

Sometimes we need to be creative when we are implementing social media strategy. Try these right away and see what works for you.

1. Ask Questions:
 This is the easiest strategy. Be straightforward with your questions and make it sound like you really want an answer. One idea is to ask for advice. Your audience’s opinion matters and believe it or not, people love to give opinions. Plus, they like to help. Another kind of question you could ask is what their favorite is and make it relate to something in your business.

Also, you can make the question visual by having them pick something. Whatever it is, you decide and have fun with it.

 2. Try organizing a contest! This strategy works very well. When hosting a contest, there are some things important for its success. You must be very clear on the rules. Make sure the rules can be understood. Pick a prize that has something to do with your business. And make the deadline doable.

3. Tag and share others’ content. I think it’s so important to do this in your business. Posting great articles that help other people is good for you as a business owner. Tag the author to give them credit. If you do this, sometimes they will comment on the post.

4. Get involved in a social cause.  I love companies that donate or share with people who are less fortunate. TOMS shoes is a great example of that. If you can pair up with a cause, it creates an incentive to buy and makes your customers feel like they have helped. It’s important to be authentic in who you are—do not support a cause you don’t believe in. Support something that goes with who you are as a person and what you value.

5. Take advantage of the holidays. Let’s face it, people love to spend money during the holiday season. Be creative in your content so you’re fun rather than salesy. Have an hour sale. Maybe give something away with it. Do a buy-one/get-one-free promo.

These are only a few of the many extra strategies you can use in your business right away. Just remember... whatever you do, be authentic to who you are and what you are sharing.
