Responding with Confidence: 5 Tips for Better Social Media Engagement

Navigating the waters of social media can be nothing short of treacherous. How you respond can make all the difference in the effectiveness of your social media efforts. Better engagement on social media can open many doors to building your brand. It can increase customer loyalty, attract more people to your online profiles and offer a better way to get to know your audience in a more real and meaningful way. Building confidence in your response is the key to online success.

Respond with confidence by following these tips for better social media engagement:

– A bit of gratitude goes a long way. While you have their attention, why not take the time to thank your visitors? Showing gratitude for their business goes a long way in building brand loyalty and creating a more positive user engagement.

– Respond quickly. When people post to social media, they want a quick response. Try to be on top of your social media sites so that you can engage with them before they lose interest.

– Let your personality show. People don’t want to feel like they are talking to a robot. It’s ok to let your personality show through. Whether you are quirky or nerdy or somewhere in between, it is important to give others a glimpse into who you are.

– Be helpful. Offer your visitors further resources to help them along their journey. If you don’t have the answer, that’s ok. Simple point them in the right direction.

– Keep the conversation going. Some comments are perfect for spurring another thoughtful discussion. If it merits, follow-up a comment with another question. This further engages visitors while giving them a sounding board to express their opinions.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
