Got a service business, but making real connections with your audience isn’t exactly your strong suit? If yes, then you need a social media marketing agency in Pakistan to fill up the weak spots. We all know how important social media has become nowadays for everyone. A venture in Dubai uses it and a company in Pakistan too. A teenager uses it for socializing and a chef uses it to share their recipes. So the point is social media is necessary now and if you’re not leveraging it you’re missing out.
But for businesses, it’s important to know how to use it effectively, how to share their story and how to become relatable for the audience. And for that you need to learn from experience. There are no set rules. Every audience is different and so is every brand. Each venture needs to research and test new strategies, come up with new ideas. And you have two ways to do this. First, either hire a Digital Marketing Agency in Pakistan like us, The Viral Digital or experiment. The second option takes time and effort and if you don’t have them in spares, you’re better off outsourcing.
The real challenge of utilizing social media isn’t posting daily or adding lots of stories. The tricky part is getting people to notice you and, preferably engage and wait for your posts. It’s more about humans connecting with humans, not a sales robot. So here we have gathered some information to help you understand how to nail it.
Highlight The Faces
People feel connected to other people who talk like them or share something in common, like the same interests, a brand, or even a belief. They don’t feel a connection with logos or graphics. Yes, sure, you can make them feel some nostalgia or other emotions, but that’s about it. After that, they need real people to truly relate. What you need to do is highlight the faces behind the brand. Introduce your team, the CEO. Put appreciative posts for them. This way the audience gets to know the team and how much you value them. This humanizes your brand. Take a beauty brand as an example, you launched a new trendy product and one of the members of the research and development team came up with the idea. What you can do is share a fun interview-style video, asking them the thought process behind it or what inspired them. Or “what I do in a day” style posts can also be interesting. This type of content builds relatability. Like this, your brand turns from a mysterious faceless company to a community that they know and trust, even find entertaining.
Put Proper Hashtags
Hashtags are versatile. Even though the main purpose is to organize the content, it also helps make your social media interactions better. You can use them to encourage participation in fun challenges or tasks. But the key here is to be creative and come up with new and personal tags that are distinctly you. For example if you own a cafe chain, you can have special muffin flavours on Monday. So, you could post some photos of good-looking muffins with #MuffinMonday and just like that, your weekly menu gets a little spotlight. Tags are kind of like the ones we use in real life, but online. They help the audience discover new posts related to a hashtag they like or a topic.
Share Your Company Culture
These posts are not just some ideas for the daily content. These are some windows inside your company. Which means the audience can peek in and know where the things they buy come from, how they are made or how it’s a normal process. It also shows the real people working behind and how they are valued. In the current times the audience feels more satisfied by knowing what a brand stands for and how they operate. Hence the rise in eco-friendly practices and sustainability. For instance a beauty brand posts clips of product testing and the audience finally gets the answer to how even cosmetics are tested. And clear doubts like whether the products are even safe.
Use Instagram Stories
We all scroll through stories without taking a break and so does your audience. This is why an Instagram Advertising Agency focuses heavily on stories, as they are a quick and powerful way to capture attention and encourage interaction. With features like polls, Q&As, and countdowns, viewers can engage even more easily, whether they know your brand or not. You also have the option to create custom GIFs and memes for a more personal and entertaining interaction. Third-party tools are now widely available to help you schedule content and track performance. By using them, you can easily understand which type of content works and which doesn’t get the attention you aimed for, allowing you to adjust upcoming posts and focus on what your audience interacts with. Doing this helps you identify the style of content you should stick to — whether it’s funny, ASMR-style, or informational.
Share Valuable Content
Focus on value first and aesthetics second. Of course, for social media platforms visuals are important, but they mean nothing if what you’re posting isn’t helpful. Many brands worry about Facebook ads not performing, yet the real problem is often a lack of value in the content. Users may find your page eye-catching and attractive, but they won’t come back or search for you if you’re not offering anything useful. The goal is to provide something helpful, entertaining, or informative. The twist is that sometimes you even share content that competes with what you sell like a coffee shop showing how to brew coffee at home. Strange? Maybe. But most people still can’t match your taste or don’t have the time, so they might try it once or twice and that helpful content will leave a lasting impression. Posts that deliver real value are more likely to be shared, and they save you from guessing why certain campaigns — or even your Facebook ads aren’t performing as expected.
Some more TIPS
All the things we mentioned from our experience as a marketing agency are enough for you to start building valuable connections. But these are some points that you can follow too if you’ve figured out the ones mentioned above.
- Use visual and attractive content that’s not text-heavy, instead conveying the message with visuals.
- Ask your audience what they need or what they think is missing like “Which product should we launch next?”
- Host contests or giveaways that make the viewers actively participate and in the end, they get a reward.
- Collaborate with influencers or experts in your niche for example, a skincare brand can partner with a dermatologist.
