Social media marketing is a powerful tool for brands to market their products and services, attract customers and engage with people. When done right, social media marketing can boost a company’s revenue stream through effective product promotions and other customer-centric strategies. 

Building a community and creating effective content are key to social media success, says social media marketing agency Likeable Lab. 

It may sound simple, but these two factors can make a world difference. 

Social media community building can be as simple as removing automated communication from the mix. A more suitable way for brands to communicate is to learn what inspires their customers and craft messages accordingly, rather than posting what they think will get more likes. 

For Likeable Lab, consistency is also key for social media success. Businesses are encouraged to create strategic social media posting plans that allow them to produce content at a specified time each week. Consistent content builds trust, solidifying the relationship with clients. 

Another important aspect is to focus on removing the word ‘perfection’ from a brand’s vocabulary. It is more commendable to promote relevant and genuine content than to focus on unattainable standards of aesthetics. Brands need to learn how to build deeper connections rather than merely creating the perfect feed. 

Finally, brands need to remember to be concise and make sure they put out content that offers value to users. This means lower word counts and greater substance. It is about writing more with less, using high-quality media, and getting your message across as clearly as possible.
