Five Minutes To Better Social Media Results | November 20, 2013 (0 comments)
Merrick, NY—It’s the holiday season. You’re busy. You’ve got customers in your store and potential buyers visiting your company online, perhaps on your Facebook page or via another social media platform. So for the next six weeks—from now through January 1—The Centurion Newsletter will bring a new feature titled "Five Minutes To Better Social Media." Each week, we’ll offer you a very quick, fast-read, five-minute plan to help boost your social media for that week.
For this week, we offer a quick Facebook promotional idea. Your social media mission each day is to engage your audience. To keep communications ongoing. Facebook has made it easier, but it’s not a one-shot deal. You’ve got to keep connecting, keeping your message fresh, and keeping your audience interested.
Facebook To Do This Week:
Invite your customers to share on Facebook through Thanksgiving. Randomly choose a winner from every entry to win a $500 gift certificate (or special item) from your stock. The card can be redeemed immediately after Thanksgiving. Pick one of the themes below or make up your own:
- Best Thanksgiving memory.
- Story of finding the perfect gift for a loved one.
- Best gift Santa ever brought.
- What are you most grateful for?
- Craziest present you’ve ever received.
Be sure to:
- Have one or two employees post an answer each day during your promotion
- Add a hashtag to your promotion. For example: #BestThanksgivingMemory
- Make sure you add in your own answer to whatever question you pick out.
- Run a photo of the winner on your Facebook page when the prize is awarded.
- Cross-promote on your own website, via your email newsletter or on another social media platform.
