#1 Show Your Audience Something Behind The Scenes

Your followers will always be curious to know what you really do, how are you working on, who are the people behind your company, and so on. Therefore, give them a look behind the scenes – post something about your workplace events, employees, or recent product launches.

Giving a photographic peek into how you come up with your product ideas, where you source your ingredients, how your products are getting packed for shipping, etc. will also help them relate to your brand on a more personal level.

#2 Get Them Tips & Updates

Think about what are some of the facts that are known to you, but might be a mystery to most other people? Give people tips right on those. Suppose if you are selling food products, share them how to pick the secret ingredient for a tasty pasta. Now if you are a clothing boutique, just share how to mix the right patterns.

As an experienced Social Media Marketing Company, we can say – your audience will definitely ? this!

#3 Ask, Ask, & Ask!

People always wish to feel heard and valued. So ask them questions, and get them opportunities to interact with you. And while you do so, make sure to ask simple questions that need a one-word response.

Remember, people are busy, and no one is going to type out lengthy answers for you. Therefore, make your questions, as short and concise as possible, and post out once every week.

#4 Conduct Interviews

Another option you could try out is to interview someone. And if you like to take up a bit bigger challenge, try doing it live. ?

Regardless of how you opt to do it, do it with people significant to your business. For instance, you may take up an interview with a happy customer or a business that is in line with yours. While you do it, make sure to keep it short and straightforward.

#5 Post FAQs With Answers

If your followers are frequently asking questions, you can help them with FAQs and answers. Collect a list of such questions and post it on your Social Media page, one question at a time, so as to not get overboard. This will make your customers feel that you have heard and responded to all their concerns.

✨ Bonus Tip: If you are running a start-up and don’t have a lot of FAQs to post, you may try answering every question that your followers should be asking.

#6 Let Them Know Your Process

It can take years to build people’s trust in your business. However, sharing the tidbits of how you do your business will help you acquire the audience’s trust much more quickly. For instance, if you sell chocolates, talk about where you shop for ingredients, and how you manufacture them. If you are an author, talk about how you choose topics for books, and how your books are getting published.

This is one of the best tactics for you to turn people who have fallen in love with your products into loyal fans of your business.

#7 Get Employees A Chance To Shine

Most people love to see the humans behind brands. So, try featuring yourself and your employees, and get your audience to relate to your business on a more personal level.

You could even make your employees advocate for your products through Social Media campaigns.

#8 Yes, Something Personal Will Work

You could share personal stories about your company, the stories of success, what inspired you to start a business, the struggles you went through, blah, blah, blah… Sharing something personal helps people to really ‘know’ your brand apart from the catchy taglines, and help them to relate to your business more personally.

#9 Go For Special Themes

Themes are, of course, a pleasant way to add fun to your social media posts. Tie your content to daily, weekly or monthly themes such as ‘Motivation Monday’, ‘Throwback Thursday’, ‘September friendships’, ‘Sunday Funday’ and so on.

The benefit? A nicely coordinated Social Media feed.

✨ Bonus Tip: Add relevant hashtags for each theme to get tied into something that is trending.
