Social Media Trends 2022

The world has already been heading towards a digital format but COVID has sped up that process. Once the world went indoors the prevalence of digital media excelled faster than it already had been. Though the world is on its way back to normal, the social media aspect will remain vital for any company’s success. Here are five ways to enhance your brand in this new year. 

Cross-Promote

Having a social media account for each platform is essential for your brand’s success. Every platform has a different audience and they connect to people in different ways. Taking advantage of your different accounts is key to promoting your brand efficiently and effectively.

For example, a post on your Instagram account promoting your Twitter account will benefit your brand. Followers you already had will be more inclined to follow you on Twitter which gives your company another opportunity to be promoted. This will also help your brand connect further with current clients because you can express the company in a different light via different social channels. Cross-promoting is an easy way to gain loyal followers across all your platforms which benefits your brand in the long run.

Engage

Gaining followers is great for your brand but keeping them is what matters. By engaging with your audience, you build a relationship that makes your brand relatable. At the end of the day, people want to align with the brands they use because it brings them comfort.

Easy ways to engage with your followers are liking comments, replying to comments, and replying to direct messages through social channels. This shows that there are actual people behind the brand that cares about input from their customers. Making your consumers feel valued and heard will improve your sales and customer retention.

Use Compelling Visuals

Visuals should be a huge part of your brand’s content. Because so many companies use social media nowadays, it is important that your visuals stand out from the rest. Visuals are a fun way to capture your audience’s attention and promote your product or service without being monotone or text-heavy. Using them as a post on your timeline is important but so is utilizing the “story” feature on the apps that allow it. With that being said, getting creative with your visuals is the perfect way to set yourself apart.

Having aesthetic posts will drive traffic to your social channels and give your brand credibility overall. Product or service sales are the goal but getting people there and keeping them there is the first step.

Use Captivating Captions

Creating good content to post for your brand is essential. However, it does not stop there. Captions are a vital part of your post. If you are proud of the content you are about to post, writing a caption that captures the audience’s attention will be the cherry on top. Think of a caption as the “closer” to your post. You want your post to be great from beginning to end. Puns, exclamation points, emojis, and hashtags are all ways to enhance a caption.

Don’t be afraid to be relatable in your captions because that is how you will be able to connect with future and current customers. Show them that there is more to your brand than just a product or service. When you become relatable you gain credibility.

Hashtags

Using hashtags is an easy and efficient way to gain more attention on a post. You can hashtag anything that relates to your post because when it comes to promotion, the more the merrier. For example, people utilize Instagram’s explore page to search common hashtags and see where they are being used. Using keywords that relate to your product or service as hashtags will facilitate the promotion of your company. Though it seems like a minute detail, it can mean all the differences when people are searching.
