We know that thinking of different social media content ideas can be challenging, especially when you’re trying to keep things unique. How do we know this? We do it every day for our clients. When it comes to varying content, we find businesses run into these 3 common issues.
3 Reasons Why You Should Advertise Your Business On Facebook
Issue #1: Too Much Push, Not Enough Pull
What do we mean by this? Push content is when you’re advertising your business, while pull content is engaging your audience. When a social media page has too many push posts, it can literally PUSH your audience away. Making sure you vary the content helps educate your audience on your business sales & offers but also encourages them to take part in a conversation with you!
Issue #2: Repetitive Content
This ties in with the above in that you want to vary your content between push and pull, so you don’t have repetitive content on your social media feeds. No customer wants to see the same sale offer over and over again for weeks. We understand that you want to boost sales – every business owner does – but social media isn’t the place to be pushy.
Try This
Think of your three most visited Social Media Pages – Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok. Now study their posts, especially the ones you interact or engage with. Are they mostly sales posts or do they offer you something more – a nugget of information, behind-the-scenes photos, a glimpse into their history, perhaps?
If YOU’RE engaging with it, it probably means that others are too. Use this as inspiration for your social media content calendar.
Issue #3: Lack of Consistency
Social media algorithms, like search engine algorithms, are tricky. One thing we do know is that consistency is key when it comes to scheduling social media content. We know that most businesses can’t sustain making a post every day, it takes a LOT of content ideas to maintain that. We find that when businesses make 2-3 thoughtful posts per week with varying content, they can nurture a consistent audience.
