Best Social Media Marketing Channels

Each social media channel caters to a different type of user.
We easily explained through donuts, the popular social media channels and how users communicate differently on each social platform.

We only suggest sharing content that is relevant and valuable to your audience.

Are you unsure of how to communicate on a particular social network? To explain, the content you are tweeting on Twitter should NOT be copy and pasted into Facebook. Can you use the same content subject matter? Yes, but make sure that the content you post reflects each social media channel’s style of communication.

Social media channels have grown over the years into a medium that combines technology and social interaction to give marketers a voice to connect with peers and potential consumers. Social media also personalizes your brand and spreads your message in a more conversational tone. Social media can be a difficult medium to conquer and you might not see the results right away.

In order to find success with your social media strategy, it’s important to have a clear understanding of how your audience communicate on each social media channel.

Twitter

I’m eating a #donut

Short and sweet is the best policy for content posted on Twitter. Always be “matter of fact” and “to the point” because most users are on Twitter for updates and news.
Try and keep your tweets down to 120-130 characters because Twitter users expect quick and digestible content.
Creating content for Twitter can be compared to crafting headlines for a blog.
Twitter users appreciate witty tweets, but make sure you are still incorporating your brand message.
Take advantage of trending hashtags to add to the #conversation.
