Meet our social media maven, Keith Lowell Jensen to get some insider knowledge on the topic. Here’s what Keith has to say:
Q- What is a common misconception about social media marketing?
Clients often think they need to be on the latest, hippest platform, but that may not be where their customers are. Before you start practicing the latest Tik-Tok dance trend, take a look at the demographics, and go where your customers are most likely to see you.
Q- What is the best piece of advice you could give to someone who is interested in social media marketing for their business?
Put your personality into it. Give your social media manager the content and freedom to tell your story. It’s important to have the best sandwich in town, but first you need to grab the sort of attention that encourages people to come to your shop and try that sandwich.
Q- What is a pro tip related to social media marketing that you’d like to share?
A picture of your cat sleeping on your company logo or a snapshot of your staff sharing a laugh may not be as “pretty” as professional stock photography, but it’s social media gold. Real is hard to fake. Real grabs eyes on social media.
Q- What is your favorite part about working with social media?
I love getting to tell people’s stories in ways that are funny, heartwarming, and meaningful. I’m using my communication skills, expertise, and sense of humor to help folks who are doing everything from making tasty meals, to saving the planet.
Q- What are the “top three things” about social media marketing?
- Engagement – Once you grab the audience’s attention, be ready to follow up, whether that’s with targeted ads or direct communication. Be an active part of your online community.
- Experimentation – Try a lot of different approaches. Build on what works, and drop what doesn’t. Taking risks is an important part of the process.
- Consistency – To build momentum you need to post regularly and be ready to engage when you succeed at grabbing some attention.
