Love it or hate it, people say what they feel on social media, and this extends far beyond just how their day is going. They talk about brands, personalities, businesses, and products.
Unlike a one-way conversation where a company typically dominates the narrative and doesn't acknowledge or interact with visitors/followers, a two-way conversation directly connects brands and consumers. A two-conversation is a dialogue, where brands speak and listen to their audience, responding directly to their wants and needs.
When you're posting on social media, remember that 80% of your posts should be adding value and brand building, in other words, not promoting your product or service, but helping. The remaining 20% of your posts, however, can be self-serving, endorsing products or upcoming events.
As a brand, you should share news and ideas, even if they aren't yours. The idea is to educate, inform, and "delight."
Engaging in conversation shows that youâre not just a cold organization disconnected from their buyers; it shows you are listening, understand, and care about their concerns on a human level.
