Tips to Create High Engagement

on Facebook

Facebook is a powerful platform for engaging users with your brand—users that

otherwise may not have been accessible. Whereas your personal profile may be

used for keeping up with family members and sharing special life moments, your

business page should be a reflection of your company and its values.

Your page should seek not only to entertain, but also to inform. A combined effort

of these two tactics will naturally grow engagement through post likes,

comments, and shares.

Twitter is a unique social media platform because of its character

limitations. Many businesses shy away from Twitter for this reason.

Instead, you should embrace this constraint in order to reach an

audience otherwise not accessible.

When using Twitter, remember to keep your captions as short as

possible while still getting your main message across.

Also, keep in mind, Twitter is the site that created hashtags.

Therefore, it’s essential to use them!
