Creativity


We have all of the tools at our hands now: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on.  That is the easy part.  We can learn how to technically maneuver all of these social media sites to expose our business and gain exposure, but how exactly do we do that?  It is so hard to balance branding with creativity and new material.  You want to represent yourself as close to your brand as possible, but it is also necessary to come up with fresh material to keep your audience’s interest.  This conflict can be stressful and hard to find a resolution.  How do we stay interesting and keep our audience’s attention?  There are a few ways to tackle this.
           
First, pay attention to what content receives the most attention.  If inspiring quotes receive the most attention on your pages, then you know that that will engage your audience.  Second, keep posting pictures.  When scrolling through posts, pictures catch attention more so than words.  It is also helpful to take your own, original pictures.  This allows you to incorporate your brand while keeping the interest of your audience.  Third, pull in outside pictures and material that pertain to your business, but is not directly tied to your business.  An example of this could be wedding ideas and tips for a catering company.  This allows you to broaden the type of information you post and be more creative while also staying on topic.  Variety is important but it is also important not to lose yourself.  Get to know your audience then take your time and search the web to find some fun content that you know they will love.
