Making Social Media Platforms Work For You

Before we dive into our top tips for creating engaging content, let’s look at the many platforms that are available to you. Choosing which platforms you want to post to can be valuable in generating leads and making a profit for your business. Here’s a closer look at some of the most impactful social media platforms that can elevate your business:

Facebook – The Biggest Platform For Clicks-To-Website

Facebook has billions of worldwide users and is the most popular social media platform to date. With an audience of this scale, it should come as no surprise that many businesses choose Facebook as their primary social media platform. Facebook is hugely diverse and provides a rich audience base and several content formats including posts, videos, live streams, reels, photos and more.

Instagram – Interactive & Visually-Driven

Instagram is known for its visually driven and interactive diversity and is ideal for sharing captivating images, videos and reels. Businesses and brands can take advantage of a pool of billions of users, all within easy reach with Instagram’s user-friendly interface. What’s more, Instagram also offers features such as Stories and IGTV for those wishing to share more dynamic content.

X (formerly Twitter) – Real-Time Interactions

X (formerly Twitter) has millions of worldwide users and is primarily a microblogging platform. Users of X can benefit from real-time engagement and the ability to reach and connect with a wide target audience using hashtags and retweets. Not only this, but businesses can benefit from immediate and direct customer communication.

LinkedIn – B2B Professional Marketing

LinkedIn is primarily a professional networking platform which supports B2B marketing and career-driven content. For businesses, LinkedIn fosters industry connections as users can share industry insights, company updates and thought leader content. For businesses looking to expand their industry knowledge and connections, look to LinkedIn for support and suggestions.

YouTube – Enhance Engagement

You may not realise it, but YouTube is the second-largest search engine after Google. This means that taking advantage of YouTube for your business is key to its social media success. By utilising YouTube, businesses have a fantastic opportunity to make their content discoverable to billions, whether that’s case studies, tutorials, product demonstrations or vlogs.

Google My Business – Local Connectivity

Google My Business (GMB) is often overlooked but is key to local connectivity. GMB allows businesses to take charge of the way their business appears on Google Search and Google Maps. This will help you to reach a significantly wider audience in a shorter amount of time, and with a focus on targeted customers.

Each of these platforms is readily available for you and your business, offering distinct ways of connecting, creating and communicating with your audiences. The social media experts at Safetech are here to work alongside you to decide which social media channels are best for your business and can help you create inspiring content. But why is social media so important for businesses?

The Importance of Social Media for Business Growth

Social media came into our lives in the mid-to-late 90s and, where it was once a place to share updates and connect with people, it has now become a far more dynamic space. Social media has emerged as a pivotal aspect of our daily lives, and many of us rely on these platforms for information, inspiration, and meaningful communication. With this in mind, businesses can’t afford to overlook the potential that social media offers. With Safetech’s help, your business can achieve increased brand awareness, grow customer loyalty and drive conversions.

What’s more, trusting our digital marketing experts to manage your business’s social media allows us to gain powerful insights into behind-the-scenes data. Through analytics that focus on audience behaviour and preferences, this data can inform marketing strategies which help to drive engagement and promote business growth. So, how do we do it?

How to Create Engaging Content: Safetech’s Tips & Tools for Social Media Success

With 60% of customers desiring current and regular online digital experiences from businesses, creating engaging content is key for capturing your audience’s attention. At Safetech, we understand what it takes for businesses to become a social media powerhouse – and we’re here to help you every step of the way. Here are the tips and tools that we use to help your business succeed in the social media sphere…

Know Your Audience

Knowing who your audience is and what they want from your business is at the heart of successful content creation. We take the time to understand your audience including knowing who they are, what interests them and how they interact with your brand. We utilise innovative tools such as Google Analytics and social media insights to gain valuable data surrounding demographics, preferences, and behaviours, allowing us to tailor your content to suit their needs.

Craft Compelling & Impactful Visuals

The world is becoming visually driven, which is why using visual content alongside text alone is far more likely to generate engagement. At Safetech, we prioritise high-quality images, videos, graphics and more which reflect your brand identity and resonate with your audience. Using industry-leading design tools, our digital design team can create captivating, interesting and inspiring visuals that will encourage actions.

Embrace Storytelling

While you might have thought you’d left storytelling at school – it is a hugely powerful tool for engaging audiences on social media. Storytelling goes hand in hand with authenticity, particularly when shared about your brand, services, products and customers. Emotional connection is something that should never be underestimated, and storytelling can highlight the human side of your business, empowering connections driven by emotion.

Use a Consistent Brand Voice

At Safetech, we can help you establish a consistent brand voice across all social media platforms. This technique will create a cohesive experience for your audience and will work to solidify your brand identity – and ultimately instil trust in your business. Your brand voice and identity can be professional, formal, conversational, playful, informal, or upbeat… in fact, the possibilities are endless. The only thing that matters, is that it remains consistent.

Incorporate Interactive Elements

Interaction is at the heart of engagement and encouraging your audience to connect and engage with your content is key. At Safetech, we understand that one of the biggest challenges lies in getting people to connect, which is why we can infuse your social media strategy with polls, quizzes, Q&A sessions and much more to encourage followers to engage in real-time. This technique can foster a sense of community and encourage active participation.

Schedule & Plan Your Content

Regularly posting on your social media accounts is key to staying visible, maintaining engagement, and staying ahead of your competitors. Keeping your audience informed and engaged can make all the difference to conversions, and a minimum of 3 posts a week is recommended. When you choose Safetech to manage your social media platforms, we can do it all for you. All you need to do is sit back and watch the notifications roll in.

Analyse & Adapt

A key benefit of working with a digital marketing agency such as Safetech for your social media content is that we can analyse your content’s performance. We use analytics tools to track how well your social media content is performing and can adapt your strategy to accommodate areas where improvements may be needed. By analysing and adapting in this way, we can continually strive for social media success.

Interact with Local Community Groups

Connecting and interacting with groups that are relevant to your industry, whether that’s like-minded individuals, other business groups or area-focused groups, allows you to establish yourself as a trusted company. Here at Safetech, we can manage all areas of social media, including interacting with local community groups, participating in discussions, and offering industry insights to help you connect with interested audiences.

Personal Networks

We recommend encouraging your team members to share your posts within their personal networks. Leveraging personal networks in this way will extend your business’s reach and organically expose your brand to new audiences. At Safetech, we care about the businesses that we look after, so we will share your posts among our staff, family, and friends to boost the reach of your social media profiles.
