I selected this article from Curatti written by Susan Gilbert because it provides information on how to increase engagement on social media.

 

In order to stay ahead of the competition it's important to effectively reach your target market.

 

Drive Up Your Social Media Sales

 

As you grow your audience on social media you will want to build trusted relationships with them. I agree that in order to attract new customers you need to focus on approaching your audience in an authentic way.

 

Gilbert explains how to best approach your social media marketing in a non-sales way.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Engage on Facebook -- especially in groups. This is still one the top places to build your brand and a community. Once you establish relationships there you can lead them to your Page.

 

  • On Twitter take advantage of trending hashtags and engage in live chats and contests. There is still a viable audience who is interested in what your brand has to offer there.

 

  • Get active with mobile marketing and start posting and engaging. Include SMS text messaging or push notifications as a part of this strategy.

I selected this article from Curatti written by John Jantsch because it explains how to improve your marketing strategy by answering 4 questions.

 

Developing a marketing strategy for your business can be a challenge -- you need to know where to start and what to focus on.

 

Answer These 4 Marketing Questions

 

Many advertisers find themselves getting stuck when it comes to developing a successful marketing strategy. I agree that in order to attain your goals you need to first understand where to begin.

 

Jantsch provides four ways your business can discover the best plan.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Find out what your personal "why" is. As yourself how you are going to change the world and which things you want to make right. This helps you to see which gaps you are filling.

 

  • To develop a brand story you need to understand your audience, personality, who the hero is, and what your journey will be.

 

  • Make deliverables and expectations clear to your audience so they know what to look forward to. Remove any ambiguity in order to foster an enjoyable working relationship.

The right way to approach your audience is through high-quality content, not high quantity.

 

Correct Misguided Thinking for Your Content Strategy

 

The current thought is to put as much content as possible in front of your readers in order to grow online. I agree that we can lose focus on the quality of the articles by doing this.

 

Zambito explains the different misconceptions related to content planning and marketing.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Organizations have taken their eyes off of what is taking place in the digital world. The customer experience can get missed when we do not pay attention to this.

 

  • The customer journey is not the same as the content journey. Businesses need to focus on the interactions and experiences instead.

 

  • As content producers we need to move away from a broadcasting mentality. This includes how we personalize what we write.

Via janlgordon

In our latest Curatti interview, Greg Cooper talks about the benefits of LinkedIn for business.

 

"This video is based on my original Curatti article titled “8 Reasons Why You Are Not Getting More Business from LinkedIn”.

LinkedIn is most widely used and credible online venue for businesses of all sizes. No other platform provides both the depth of information about your target audience and the ability to quickly find, connect and engage with that audience. Yet many businesses are failing to take full advantage of this opportunity.

Some of the areas covered in this approximately 20-minute interview include:

 

  • The importance of creating a complete and compelling profile
  • Why you need an All-Star profile
  • How to build a relevant and opportunity rich network
  • What is the right size for a LinkedIn network?
  • Which types of content work best?
  • How to use LinkedIn search to quickly find your ideal prospects
  • Building a virtual team to support and share your content
  • How much time to spend on LinkedIn
  • Why little and often is the most practical strategy for most people

 

I also share several real-life examples of businesses who have enjoyed great success with LinkedIn, including one business which has turned LinkedIn into a lead generation conveyor belt.

The Curatti On Air LinkedIn Interview

In this interview, I discuss some of the reasons why so many businesses fail to take advantage of the benefits of LinkedIn.  It was a vibrant and enjoyable conversation with Curatti’s Andy Capaloff and host, Cheryl Tan."

Herman explains how your posts can attract the right followers for your brand.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • You need to know specifically what sets your posts apart rather than using generic terms. This will improve your chances of getting found in the 'top spots' on Instagram.

 

  • The best method is to use 15-20 hashtags per post and then focus on the 4-5 popular ones. These need to be related to your posts, and have a high number of usage.

 

  • The higher the engagement the more views your posts will get. Sometimes these can show up the the hashtag hubs for days or even weeks.

Instagram tips on hashtags
Vanessa Ong Li Wen's curator insight, March 19, 2017 10:39 AM

As a non-user of Instagram, I understand the attraction of the application and the use of hashtags to gather as many like as possible. However, I fail to understand the prevalence of such a technology in our world today. An article on how to use hashtags as effectively as possible? When did it become a necessity for us to write about getting as many likes and affirmation as possible? If I were to use Instagram, I would treat hashtags as a way to simply and deconstruct the message that my photo was trying to convey. For example, if I were to post a photo of an art piece, instead of writing a detailed explanation of the piece which most would not want to read about, I would use hashtags to highlight whatever it is I wish to express to my followers. While I understand that Instagram may be attractive because it lets us in on our friends’ lives and serves as a platform for us to receive affirmation from our peers, I do not think we should rely on Instagram so heavily to the extent that we write articles on how to make our posts more popular and well received. We should make use of this application to share our photos and activities with our friends, as well as show appreciation to others through this platform.

When a business sends out a marketing text message it can get either get deleted or missed. I agree that your customers will respond as you reach them with the right approach.

 

Forrest shows you several ways to improve your SMS marketing strategy for more sales.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • You will have more coupon redemption rates if you are sending a message to an email subscriber. On demand coupons have an even greater response.

 

  • Because almost all customers own a mobile phone it is very easy to have them act upon a promotion sent via text. People can store these in their phone and easily access them for later.

 

  • Tailor your coupons for every day consumer related products. Be sure to personalize the message and send 3 to 4 texts a month.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Shelly Kramer because it provides insights on the way people interact on social media from their devices.

 

The world of technology has shifted in the way we conduct our marketing online

 

How Second Screen Social Affects Social Media

 

Most consumers use multiple platforms to get their information and make purchases. I agree that marketers should fully understand how their audience is viewing brands.

 

Kramer explains how we have evolved into using several different devices in our social interactions.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Americans under the age of 65 are watching less and less television each year. Television apps are now all the rage with over 200 new channels having been created.

 

  • The heaviest users of social media are women ages 35 to 49 (the Generation X women). These people are more likely to make an online purchase than non-social media users.

 

  • In order to reach your target audience you need to now have a creative approach. This means businesses can  market to both television and social media users.
