Curious about reasons you are being unfollowed on social media? Tired of people unfollowing you all the time? (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});   If you’re using social media regularly, I can with 100 percent certainty say that you’ve been unfollowed at least one time. Probably substantially more. Considering the fact that your goal is to grow your page, it’s always frustrating when the numbers do the opposite.

You’re probably not unfamiliar with the fact that video content has skyrocketed in popularity over the last couple of years. And social media video isn’t any different.

Want to increase customer loyalty with social media? I frequently emphasize the fact that social media isn’t a promotional tool. And when I say that, many traditional marketers just wrinkle their forehead and ask what social media is any good for if it isn’t a promotional tool. But the fact of the matter is that social media is a relationship tool, not a promotional tool. After all, it’s called social media. You’re obviously meant to be social. So if you shouldn’t shove ads in your customer’s face with social media, how will it benefit your brand? In the best possible way of course, by using it to build relationships with your audience. The best marketing isn’t the one where you try to shove as much as down your audience’s throats as possible, but instead, the best rel...

As a brand, your customers are everything. But that’s not really something new, is it? But despite this, far too many brands act like they aren’t. Rather than focusing on building customer relationships, they focus on acquiring more and more customers. And once they are acquired, they are neglected and forgotten. Building customer relationships is crucial for customer retention and loyalty, and the statistics also speak very clearly about this, too. Because the fact of the matter is that loyal customers are worth up to 10x more as their first purchase. Moreover, the probability of selling to an existing customer is 60-70%, whereas the probability of selling to a new prospect is only 5-20%. As a brand, your end goal is always to drive sales. But in order to dr...

If you are a regular user of social media or perhaps someone who’s working for a social media marketing agency,chances are, you’ve faced some of them already. And if you’ve been updated with news, it’s almost impossible to have missed news about people who have gotten themselves into dangerous situations as a result of social media, and more. While the ben...

What is the best thing about social media in your opinion? I guess it’s the fact that people have the choice and listen to you only if they want to. What could this mean? That the visitors are either interested in your products/services or they just want to hear what you have to say. You are not pushing your messages to them. The technique has nothing in common with television, radio or newspaper ads. The main question now is how to grow the number of your social media followers and engage with them. Would you like to boost your influence? Then, you need to nurture your followers. One way to reach this is by claiming yourself an expert in your business. You do not have to know social media like the back of your hands for that.   However, you need to know that social media infl...
