There’s no doubt about it. Understanding how to play the social media game is critical to a successful marketing campaign and delivering stellar Las Vegas public relations. Everywhere you look, everyone is on their phones, just about all the time. Finding ways to enhance engagement on these platforms is key to getting your message out to your audience. How do you do it?
Be Genuine
First, think about yourself. What catches your personal attention? What do you like to read and follow? As long as your company or organization is providing some product or service of value, then telling your unique story should engage those who are most interested in your business.
Be truthful and genuine, and reach out to those who would be most interested in what you are selling as well as in your expertise. Believe in your organization and your mission and that passion will do wonders to increase your social media engagement.
Build Relationships
Social media has this strange effect of connecting people more easily yet contributing to a world where people are less connected relationally than ever. Use this platform to help people connect with other people—not just to sell your products or services. Get to know your customers and potential customers, what they value, and what their pain points are. Then use your social media engagement to reach out to them as human beings first. Building those relationships will inevitably lead to sales, a positive image and customer loyalty.
Start a Dialogue
Talking, listening, just plain good old communication. It’s part of building any good relationship. Instead of a single-minded focus of increasing sales and managing a corporate image, enter the social media conversation by either starting an engaging discussion or adding to an existing dialogue. Although this role is not one of a hard sell, the participation as part of a relevant community will go a long way in helping your bottom line.
Try to Help
Everyone looks toward the Internet and social media when they need help with just about anything these days. If you’re passionate and well versed in your field, offer some free advice, a new way to think about things, or a referral to someone or something that can solve a potential customer’s current problem or challenge. If your target audience senses that you’re truly there to help them and not just push your wares, they will be more likely to check out your products and services when they are in need.
