Enhancing image quality can significantly improve the visual appeal of your pins, increasing the likelihood of engagement and click-throughs. Create pins that have really good images and descriptions. It means not only your image quality has to be excellent but also interesting enough for people to stop scrolling and read your pin.

It has been observed that tall images perform well on Pinterest compared to square or wide images. Pinterest places an image post in columns and posting a tall image actually makes your post look better in the feed. According to Pinterest, the best aspect ratio for posting images on Pinterest is 2:3, with a minimum 600 pixels of width.

For example, a 2:3 aspect ratio could be:

• 600 pixels in width and 900 pixels in height.

Visual Marketing Ideas for Instagram

1. Theme

Although you would want to share different images and videos on your Instagram account, having a consistency and flow in your posts will help you keep your followers loyal. Getting creative with Instagram is good but you cannot post something that your fans can’t relate to.

Focus on establishing a design aesthetic for your brand. This will essentially be the colors, tones, textures, imagery, fonts and photography that will match your brand.

“Always follow your brand guidelines, stick to the brand color palette while designing your grams,” said Linda Huang founder of LaSculpte (a retail and online store for activewear, shapewear, swimwear clothing for women in Sydney, Australia)

Know your audience very well and relate them to your brand by storytelling in a captivating manner. Make it compelling for users to follow you in your niche.

Of course, it will cost you a fortune to make a theme representing your brand. But you can save it using some Instagram tools like SocialPilot app which is no less than an image making tool. It comes with a box full of colors, tones, textures, imagery, fonts and photography through which you can make theme portraying your brand’s work.

2. User-generated content

Use the power of hashtags to build a community around your brand. Use unique hashtags in your grams and encourage customers to use similar hashtags with competitions or photo contest. When customers start to use your unique hashtag while they post an image with your product, if the post is good, you will have new images to repost.

People are always taking photos of your business to post them on Instagram with hashtags. Your job is to find them and repost them to curate new content. Polo Towers Hotels and Resort (a resort based amidst the hills of Shillong & Cherrapunjee) uses hashtags to find new content and repost them on their Instagram feed.

3. Filters

Early on in 2010, when Instagram was launched, it got very popular among users because of its custom inbuilt app filters. This allowed you to retouch your photo with really cool filters that gave more swag to your photo before posting. Using filters are cool. It can make the difference between getting a few likes or feeling like a bonafide Instagram hero.

According to a study by Canva,

SocialPilot’s photo making app gives you access to emotion-centric filters you can use in your image. Within app, you will be greeted by filters like light or heavy contrast, blur, grayscale, various tint colors, etc. They will make your image look more alive and engaging to users.

4. Instagram Grid Layouts

Use the Instagram grid layout to get creative and present your photos, not just individually but in the entirety of the gallery. You can use a grid layout in a number of ways. One such example is a checkerboard style of posting. Just like the tiles on the floor of your home, you can post an image and quote alternately like this feed of bossbabe.inc.

Another great example of using the Instagram grid to your advantage is by posting in vertical lines. Here your posts will be uniform only in the vertical style like this feed of @elskabody. They post a thought after posting two product photos to keep working on the vertical grid style.

So now, how to make a Linkedin profile that attracts followers in the first place?

This is precisely what we are going to discuss in this blog.

Follow these 8 steps equipped with some additional handy tips, and you will be ready with a killer Linkedin profile.

You can skip a step if you already have covered it in your existing profile.

Let’s start from scratch then.

Step 1: Start with a profile picture

The first impression setting parameter for your profile is a profile picture.

Various researches claim that a Linkedin profile with a profile picture receives 9 times the connection requests and 21 times the profile views!

Unlike other social media profiles, you must go for the high-quality image having a closeup of your face only. A decent attire will add a professional touch. Avoid a cluttered background as the sole focus of the image should be on you.

Natural lighting polishes the overall outcome. You can also make use of the Linkedin filters available to enhance it further.

Tips Linkedin gives you the option to choose the viewers of your Linkedin profile photo.

Linkedin cares for your privacy and has various visibility related settings. Just click on your profile image and select Visibility. You can choose any of the following options.

• Public
• All Linkedin members
• Your connections
• Your network

Take a look at this perfect snap of Oprah Winfrey on her Linkedin profile, taking up 60% of the space for her shoulder-length face closeup. The background is subtle, making it an ideal profile picture example.

Step 2: Personalized banner image

Do you still have that default light blue, dots connecting background as your Linkedin banner image?

If yes, then you are not alone. This is the exact reason why you should consider a change, so you become a standout. Use this 1584 px x 396 px space for your branding while most let it go in utter waste!

You can either choose an illustration as the graphic element or go bold with one color palette with a one-liner about yourself. This color will instantly reflect your personality.

A yellow background speaks about a happy personality, while red stands for passion. Black stands for elegance and royalty, while white signifies purity and transparency. Choose accordingly.

Tips Keep the background image minimalistic and clutter-free. Try using Canva for the Linkedin banner image.

If you are a freelancer, list your services. If you are a business owner or marketer, customize it with your brand’s logo, mission statement, or even a catchy tagline. This is your billboard bringing light to your major lifetime achievements too.

Add your workspace area, or the architecture of the company you presently work for, or images of products and services you are dealing with in your day to day life to increase credibility.

To edit your background banner:

1. Click on the Profile icon.
2. Click on the Edit icon and then select Change Photo.
3. Upload the relevant file from your system.
4. Add filter or crop to adjust the alignment.
5. Click on Apply once done.

Founder of Mindvalley, Vishen Lakhiani has beautifully used his Linkedin banner image to advertise his latest book, “The Buddha and the Badass.” The colors give an overall calming look and the Preorder Now text tempts anyone who visits his profile to check out the deal.

Step 3: Straightforward headline and bio

This step is the one-line elevator pitch to your followers cum customer base. Linkedin gives you a default headline with your job title in your current company. You can always choose to customize it, making it more attractive and eye-catching.

A persuasive headline and a strong bio are the reasons why anyone will click on your profile. Just like websites having on-page, off-page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) implementations garner more clicks, and your Linkedin profile should also have SEO keywords in the headline and the bio.

For example, if someone is looking out for a digital marketer for his company. He will type out “Digital Marketer” in the search bar. If you have mentioned the “Digital marketer” keyword in your headline or bio, chances are there that your name will pop up in the suggestion. This is exactly how inbound clients will approach you.

Additionally, you should also write an excellent resume and attach it to showcase your qualifications and make a strong case for your fit for the role.

So framing a correct headline and bio with keywords related to your job profile or skill set lets you leverage this platform in your favor. Make sure your 120 characters headline is crisp and direct.

The People you may know section also recommends profiles similar to yours for connecting based on the headline and bio.

Tips Use the pipe symbol( | ) to separate the targeted keywords in your headline.

Chantel Soumis has creatively used her headline with multiple keywords like Advocate, Consultant, and Social Media Marketing. She has also mentioned various services she currently provides to her clients. So without even going through her entire profile, her viewers can know the values she can provide them with just from the first half of the profile.

The About section in Linkedin is more than your degree and job profile. This is where you can brag about your experiences, learning and depict the growth. This is your chance to showcase why you chose your profession and what makes you the niche master. Weave a storyline about yourself, aligning it with the timeline covering major highlights in chronological order.

Make sure you have covered the following:

1. Explained your role, the challenges you had been dealing with, and the outcoming result.
2. Spoke about your personality traits and incidents when you realized your true potential.
3. Added something beyond work.
4. Mentioned your interest and hobbies.
5. Gave abundant white space to make it readable.

Tips Be specific and eliminate the jargon. Write as if you are formally introducing yourself to somebody in person.

Daniel Thornburgh, a Software Engineer at Google, has shown his passion for coding from yesteryears in the form of incidents and anecdotes. He has tactfully mentioned his expertise in programming languages like C, C++, Java, and Objective-C, emphasizing the core concepts of Algorithms and System Programming. It is an excellent example of the Linkedin About section.

Step 4: Add skills, experiences, and endorsements

While the About section was a teaser on you, adding relevant skills and experiences are valid proofs to solidify your claims.

Here’s how to write an impactful About section.

1. Give a long-form description of each experience.
2. Mention the proficiency level of your skills.
3. Mention the industry trending skills you possess and make sure to update it.
4. Add relevant certifications and experience letters so your prospects can go through it and be convinced.
5. Go for upskilling by doing online courses in relevant streams from Linkedin Learning or other online mediums.
6. Mention different types of projects you worked on.

Endorsements in Linkedin are also quite popular for showcasing skills. Take and give endorsements from people who are doing equally well in your field. Keep adding new endorsements from your clients or your teammates.

Shreya Pattar, one of the finest Linkedin users, has used endorsements to vouch for her Web writing skills. She has also explained each of her professional and volunteering experiences, pinpointing the responsibilities she handled.

Step 5: Recommendations and accomplishments

While endorsement is just a one-click activity for your peers and clients to approve your expertise, a recommendation is the in-depth experience theirs working with you.

Your clients or teammates can fine-tune their praises by showering you with recommendations. It works like a testimonial on Linkedin.

Another vital difference between an endorsement and recommendation is that you can only be endorsed for the skills you have added. There is no direct way to ask your fellow connections for endorsements, but you can always ask for recommendations.

These recommendations will be in the Pending section, which will require your final approval before going live into your Linkedin Profile. If you need some changes to be made, you can Request them for it or even Dismiss it altogether. It will be communicated to you in your Linkedin Inbox. Similarly, if you are giving a recommendation, you can Revise it or even Delete it. You can even manage the recommendation’s visibility too.

Go to your Profile page and scroll down to the Recommendation section. Click on “Ask for a recommendation” and personalize it before sending it to your connections. You can also edit the given recommendations by clicking on the Edit icon.

Add accomplishments too so that it becomes evident that you are not just doing a specific task but are also good at it. Users also add their test scores and even patents or publications to show their competitive strike.

James Caan, a serial Entrepreneur and Philanthropist, has skillfully played the Linkedin game of giving and receiving recommendations. He has added numerous accomplishments, particularly publications which bear proof that he is a pioneer in the Entrepreneurship industry. His publications related to starting a business and job-seeking will spark interest in his follower base.

Step 6: Put forth the featured posts

The real worth comes when you know how to use Linkedin. Unless you start posting and engaging, it is as good as keeping a freshly xeroxed copy of your A4 size resume in the locker.

It will help if you appear in the feeds of your target base for engagement. One hack to this can be to focus on followers before building connections. Change the by default Connect button to Follow. It will make sure that your posts appear in your followers’ feed guaranteed.

Once the post reaches out to your followers, start rigorous engagement by commenting and sharing your opinions on other posts as well. Add the posts with high engagement as featured posts in the profile. These will convert your visitors into followers if they resonate with your postings.

Tips End your posts with questions, quotes, or Call-To-Actions (CTA) for better response.

How will you know which post performed better?

If you want to leverage branding in every social media platform, use a scheduling tool like SocialPilot. Find out the best performing post by using analytics.

Come up with the best content ideas updating your content calendar for social media posts with the content curation tool. Make sure to respond to every comment and message with a social inbox.

Not just posts, but you can also feature articles, links, or even videos in your Linkedin profile.

Go to the Featured section, click on the Add icon, and select the option you want to feature.

Sandeep Khochhar’s trending posts are featured in his profile to give a quick insight into his posting styles and interests.

Step 7: Customize the profile URL and defaulters

Often we need to give our Linkedin IDs. Sometimes we need to mention it in our contact details at multiple places, like conferences, corporate decks, resumes, etc.

Customizing helps massively here and saves you from the embarrassment of having a never-ending URL. Remove the random characters assigned by Linkedin by default.

Head over to View Profile, and click on Edit Profile URL. Generally, this format, www.linkedin.com/in/yourname, is followed. You can tweak it a bit so your followers don’t end up connecting with somebody having the same name as yours.

Tips Linkedin URL’s customization half is case sensitive. You are allowed to change it five times in six months.

Step 8: Networking and engagement

Last but not least, networking is the sole motto of Linkedin.

How will you ensure that you keep getting the connections?

Add value by consistent posting. Experiment with the types of content, but textual content is still prevalent in this platform. Graphics and posts with external links do incredibly well in terms of engagement.

Customize your invitations while sending out connection requests. It will hammer hit the final nail for an impeccable first impression.

Try engaging in discussions with your peers to get a collective outlook and put forth your views on the prevailing matters revolving around your interest zone. Consider also implementing a LinkedIn email finder to identify potential connections and build your professional network.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to make a Linkedin profile, I bet you want to rush straightway to give your profile a makeover.

It wasn’t as difficult as you thought it would be.

Be rest assured. You will have a fun time once you know how to use Linkedin. Follow these steps, start with wherever you left, and pick up the pace. Results will be evident once the profile metrics take off and start converting for real.

Here is a compilation of 17 amazing tips to get an Instagram aesthetic feed so you can infuse life into it.

This Blog will cover the following:

Let’s begin without any further ado.

1. Choose a niche

One of the deadliest mistakes many bloggers are guilty of committing is starting without a niche. Sticking to one niche is important. Down the line, you will be known for that niche as you dive deeper into it.

Try writing down the ones sparking your interest or are related to your business in some way or the other. Scribble down the content ideas for your perfect Instagram feed.

Narrow down the ones where you can consistently generate content so you don’t burn out in just a week or less. You got to stick to this niche, so your followers come back for more of your expertise.

Similarly, for business accounts, people will follow you to know about your business and its offerings. Your feed will reveal a lot about the culture, your USP, new launches and announcements, testimonials, so on and so forth.

These all will be evident from your perfect Instagram feed.

2. Target audience

Once you zero in on the niche, your next circle in the actionable chart will bear this topic- Target Audience. You would want your followers to be your future customers.

Niche is still a dense jungle for lead hunting unless you have a set target persona. It will also help you create content that is currently in demand to increase engagement.

Know your audience and their demographics as age, gender, and roles so you can use your expertise to tackle their queries.

Say you run an account for selling hair products. It would help if you were asking yourself, “Who will buy them?”. May be customized hair products for girls in their teenage and mid-twenties will add better clarity.

Identify the convincing buyer persona and exhibit yourself by assisting them. It should be very well conveyed by your informative yet Instagram aesthetic feed, giving them enough reasons to hit on the follow button.

3. Strive for relevancy

Posting random images every day with no connection to the previous posts will make your audience lose interest. As a result, they will bounce away in utter confusion.

So strive for relevancy in the feed.

Now imagine if you are into the bakery business, you indeed would not be posting a picture of a Ferrari amidst the gooey chocolate muffins and fantastic cakes you baked.

Makes sense, right?

Start a thread. Have a central idea, so your feed weaves a storyline revolving around it. Make sure that everything seems coherent and not just some random out of the blue postings.

An occasional peep into a potential competitor’s feed will also let you fill in the gaps. You can even know what type of feed is working for them and whatnot, so you can plan yours accordingly.

4. Grid plan

Your Instagram grid layout must be enticing enough to captivate the attention of any visitor. Plan every square of the grid in your aesthetic Instagram feed to have a consistent layout. You can choose from the following Instagram grid template types:

Checkerboard

This Instagram feed design uses a pair of complementary colors, which are used alternatively. It depicts the creative use of text and visuals.

Vertical line and diagonal

Reserve the middle tiles for the vertical line feed for a similar type of post in a single line. The right and left tiles bear a resemblance. It gives your feed a clean and sleek look. You can also reserve the tiles falling in a diagonal line for a diagonal theme.

Row by row

In the case of this Instagram grid template, three tiles in a row need to be similar in terms of colors and style. It is best for experimentation, as every row becomes a new combination set.

Square

This is the default Instagram grid layout where every tile speaks of a unique tale but has a generic font and color.

Puzzle

Every tile is a jigsaw piece, which gives a bigger picture when seen as a whole. This tricky layout has an impactful branding vibe.

5. Theme customization

It is fair to be dazzled by a plethora of themes. There is no rulebook to the perfect Instagram aesthetic feed theme. You can have your creative juices flowing while experimenting with them. Check out some themes right away.

You can go for the vibrant palette and follow these themes.

• Tile theme
• Rainbow theme
• Border theme
• Pastel theme

You can also play safe with these aesthetic themes.

• White theme
• Dark theme
• Monochrome theme
• Tropical theme

How to make an Instagram theme

You can come up with your own set of designs. You can either use some strokes and customized borders for each of your posts. Categorize the content to assign a different theme to it.

Suppose your niche is tourism. How would you like your feed to appear? Maybe mountain trips in one row, beaches in another. You can also segregate based on countries, seasons, or regions accordingly. Try nature, wildlife, beach, resorts, etc., giving each category a customized theme.

You can use Layout from Instagram and Boomerang too for this. You can explore A Colour Story also.

6. Colour palette

Every color follows certain philosophies.

So what is your brand philosophy, and which color will represent it the best?

You can either be loud or subtle with the color palette you choose. That color punch you can show in the font or the subject. You can use it as a plain solid background too.

The sunrise colors like red, yellow, and orange signify passion and positivity. The shades of green, blue, and purple are symbolic of calmness and relaxation. Black, on the other hand, has a mystery element associated with it.

Go for a primary one color palette or play safe with pure white. You can be bold with a dash of blue and a hint of green or even a vintage tint.

Choose at most of the 3 base colors and play accordingly with their gradients. If you want a bit jazzy, then have complementary shades like black and white, yellow and black, etc.

Play with the temperature toning and make sure to keep it consistent. If you choose to slide to the warmer undertone, follow the same throughout.

You can also try the blue effect of cool toning.

Yellow.aesthetics are bold with a sunny yellow theme feed. It draws immediate attention to the yellow bricked feed showcasing their firm belief in happiness.

7. Filter selection

Give your perfect Instagram feed an upgraded look with filters. There are multiple tools for adding filters with many customizations.

Filters intensify and improvise the light factor, highlighting the rudimentary. Adjust the saturation accordingly.

Some of the basic filters available on Instagram are as follows:

• Juno
• Ludwig
• Aden
• Lark
• Clarendon
• Lo-fi

8. Font and typography

Fonts and typography are emotion and impression builders. Your content might be spot on, but any hickory-dickory font might kill the purpose.

For the content of the posts, stick to one type of generic font family and typography. If you want some out of box fonts too for your aesthetic Instagram feed, then you can quickly browse to Igfonts.

All you need to do is to type out and choose the style you want. You can also design your very own font types and try different combinations.

But the important thing here is that it should appear cohesive and should not be fiddling with your audience’s mind. Make sure it is readable and has a good feel vibe in it.

9. Banner images

Another hack to fix your Instagram feed like a pro is to design banner images about your brand. The image must be synonymous with your outlook towards the work or service you are providing, bringing out your style statement.

They do not need to be mainstreamed. Giving your feed a scrollable canvas look, focusing on detailing, so the bigger picture comes out nicely.

It can be quite a task. So you need to plan and work it out with utmost care.

10. Save is the new like

Save is the new like, yes you read it right!

The more people save your posts, the more new views it garners. So your posts should tempt your viewers to tap on the save icon. Save also implies that your followers are interested in you, and they are saving your posts to make a decision later in your favor.

Say you are into customized Lipstick making business and announce a giveaway alert. Your followers might find it alluring and save it to make a deal with you later.

Your number of saves on quality feed posts thereby can give a rough estimation of your online sales at times too. Based on this, you can build your strategy accordingly. Break the monotony of your feed occasionally with exciting offers or collaborations to be saved.

11. Minimal photo editing

That additional lighting and cropping out irrelevant extras make stark differences. With multiple photo editing apps, not owning a professional camera setup doesn’t hurt much.

Start small and decide the matter. Take a bunch and pick out the best.

If this seems like an ordeal, you can always take aid from Unsplash for HD images.

Remember, 1080px by 1080px is the appropriate Instagram post size but experimenting with the portrait and landscape approximations gives astounding results.

VSCO is the favorite go-to photo editing app for most of the Influencers having various filters for free. Afterlight, Snapseed, and A Colour Story are runners up. In addition, the BeFunky editing tool helps you create unique posts and stories that bring in more followers on your Instagram profile.

Blur and focus, add a vignette to the borders, straighten, and rotate the image to get that perfect angle.

12. Approve tags

With great branding comes lots of tagging. It can distort your tagged feed on Instagram. So leverage the hide post feature.

Instagram notifies every tag, so make sure you check them once manually before they appear in your Instagram aesthetic feed.

You can do this by toggling to settings from the Photos of You tab and enabling the “Manually approve tags” option by clicking on Edit.

It will ensure that every tag goes under your proof check surveillance.

You can also opt to Remove or Hide a particular image if it does not go as per your taste and style.

13. Location-specific offers

One of the best hacks on Instagram is adding the location whenever you are posting. It not just adds credibility to the post but also attracts views from that location.

90% of the accounts follow Instagram. The ones with location have 79% better engagement than the ones without location tags.

Your followers get to know your business location almost instantly, which piques the interest of local Instagrammers. You can also have campaigns based on your location favorites and trends, which will flood in engagement with the least amount of effort.

14. Consistency key

Be it the timing of posting or the filter you are using, the Instagram algorithm loves consistency, and so does your audience. Be active and seize the consistency factor.

If you have a quote posted on Monday, then block all Mondays for that.

The tone you use in your posts to address the audience must be consistent too. Try using the second person narrative in your post content. Be consistent with the theme also. Don’t switch between themes abruptly, as it might trigger your dear followers.

Lastly, try posting more because the more you post, the more visibility you attain once visibility is achieved, engagement and click rates increase, and sales growth.

15. Leveraging story

Build curiosity with Instagram stories. Keep your followers hooked to your profile with new alerts and announcements. Tempt them to follow you so they don’t miss out on anything and stay updated.

2.5 stories are the average story count per week by top brands, as revealed by SocialPilot.

Whenever you post, make sure you build the hype with a story feature after or before posting it, so a great many people engage with you. You can also use Instagram polls and questionnaires to interact with your followers directly. It will also help you in coming up with new content ideas.

To maximize the impact of your Instagram stories, consider finding the right Instagram influencers who have a strong following in your niche and partner with them. You can see examples of influencers using Instagram stories above.

16. Hashtag play

Hashtags are trending not just on Twitter alone but on Instagram as well.

70% of the hashtags on Instagram are branded.

It also brings you on to the field for a neck to neck competition with others.

A post with no hashtags has the least engagement, whereas posts with five hashtags do incredibly well.

Elevating the visibility rate, hashtags make your aesthetic Instagram feed discoverable. Reaching out to your identical tribe becomes easy with hashtags in place.

17. Planned schedule

Now that the feed plan is ready, execution is next. Please don’t waste time posting manually but schedule the posts instead.

This saved effort you can utilize in designing the post content rather than staring at the clock to post at that perfect time to gain visibility.

If you handle multiple accounts, then the tracking becomes an added menace. With SocialPilot, you can do all these and much more in a few clicks.

You can also get in-depth metrics and complete analysis, so you never lose track of any likes, follow, and comment. Say no to delayed replies with social inbox, which lets you respond to messages of all of your social media handles in one place.

The post 5 Top Facebook Marketing Tools You Should Use Right Now appeared first on Social Media Marketing.

Thanks to its out-of-the-box features and updates, you will never run short of content and reach. Your audience will get to see something exciting each time, be it a new filter or a snap, for interacting with you.

Here comes a surprising fact, though. Snapchat has 306 million daily active users and is still counting. Yet only one percent of marketers and business owners use Snapchat for business actively.

Why so?

Because many think of it as an app solely for personal use. Plus, the short-living content might not work for all businesses.

So before we dig deep into how to use Snapchat for business, let’s first uncover all the benefits of Snapchat.

Top 5 Benefits of Snapchat for Business

1. Reach the youth

Millennials are the emerging shoppers having a direct spending power of $1 Trillion. If your brand is targeting Gen Z, then Snapchat is your best buddy.

• Snapchat has dedicated millennials in the age bracket of 18-34.
• Each user spends an average of 30 minutes on the app daily.
• 60% of active Snapchat users make impulsive purchases.

You would not like to miss these serious figures to skyrocket your sales with millennials onboard.

2. Share User Generated Content

Snapchat user-generated content is the best of all.

It eliminates content creation hassles. It makes them an inclusive part of your brand, initiating emotional connections with the users.

It is a great way to strengthen the credibility and increase brand loyalty.

Have a look at this Daniel Wellington campaign. It consisted of a story series with guidelines on clicking selfies with their branded watch stickers. Their followers reposted them, creating a ripple of magnificent brand awareness.

3. Easy Snapchat Ads

Bid farewell to boring ad pitches with Snapchat. You can choose from multiple Snapchat ad formats. You can also have snap ads, story ads, filters, and AR lenses.

Introduce features and announce giveaways with story ads. Go for snap ads giving a sneak peek of all the cool activities associated with your business.

Keep your ads short and crisp with loads of exciting elements that invoke curiosity and interest.

This fantastic collaboration of Adidas with Snapchat to launch an all-new series of Falcon shoes had a 100% sales potential. Followers needed to swipe up to buy the latest shoe collection completing the app purchase. The campaign witnessed a phenomenal six-hour sellout.

Tips Use deep linking so your audience can hop from the Snapchat app to your brand app. Make them land on the Call To Action(CTA) section.

4. Snapchat Insights

You can’t rely solely on the views and number of screenshots taken for building a Snapchat marketing strategy. That’s when Snapchat insights come into the picture.

Snapchat insights are essential game-changers for marketing on Snapchat. You can find out more about your potential leads’ location and demographic data for better planning.

The key performance indicators, like view counts, daily reach, etc., will let you evaluate interest and engagements.

There are hundreds of categories for grouping users based on their interests, like music, movie buffs, traveling, etc.

But sadly, Snapchat users with a large following count can only access advanced Snapchat Insights as the new rollout is limited.

Tips Customize campaigns based on interest categorizations for better lead generation.

5. Pioneer Advantage

As mentioned earlier, a handful of marketers are using Snapchat for business.

While most are still firming their grip on Facebook and Instagram, you can beat your competitors by reaching out to a newer audience with Snapchat.

Leverage the pioneer advantage. Choose the less crowded path and be an emerging brand name on Snapchat.

Have a look at the H&M campaign in Poland. There were several hidden tickets to the “Boiler Room” exclusive party. The campaign was introduced to 3.8 million users, helping H&M gain around a thousand new followers with positive media coverage.

Brilliant, isn’t it?

Now you seem all excited to start. Let us quickly go through 6 ways on how to use Snapchat for business.

Before discussing how to use Snapchat for business, let’s first understand how to create a business account on Snapchat.

How to Use Snapchat for Business

1. Set Up a Snapchat Business Account

1. Download Snapchat from the App Store or the Google Play Store for iPhone or Android, respectively.
2. Click on the Sign-Up button.
3. Tap on the Signup and Accept button after filling in your details in the respective fields.
4. After verifying your age, enter a username that represents your business, followed by a strong password.
5. Enter your phone number to get the verification code. You can also sign in with your email address.
6. Once you feed in the verification code, tap on the Continue button, and you are done.
7. Use the username and password mentioned above to login to Ads Manager.
8. Enter the legal business name and tap on the Next button.
9. Select the country and currency and click on Next.
10. Your Snapchat business account will be all set to launch your first ad campaign along with payment input methods.

Add members from your business and create your first-ever Snapchat ad campaign. The Ads Manager dashboard reflects your billing details.

Note that, unlike traditional social media, you can only use Snapchat on your smartphones. There are ways to run them in your system with emulators’ help, but they lack usability. It is best to use the app on your mobile.

2. Market Your Snapchat Business Account

Every social media is unique, and Snapchat has its nuances too.

You need to promote your account before you can start marketing on Snapchat. Mention your Snapchat business account username on your website, newsletters, promotional emails, Facebook account, Instagram account, Twitter handle, LinkedIn Profile, etc.

You can also make use of Snapcodes by clicking on Settings. Create Snapcodes and add an image to feature in the ghost logo.

Snapcodes are the QR codes of your Snapchat business account. Followers, including your physical store customers, are then a scan away from your business account.

TipsUse snapcodes to drive traffic to your account, website, customized brand filters, and exclusive content. You can also create Add me URLs for quick reference.

3. Feature User Generated Content

As mentioned earlier, user generated content directly boosts the authenticity of your service. It is a great idea to include it in your Snapchat promotion strategy.

Your followers’ followers will find your business trustworthy as somebody in their immediate circle has direct dealings. Their honest feedback and experiences are big-time assurances working in your favor.

Without breaking your head now and then to create content, repost your follower’s content featuring them.

Now you can rise beyond the ad noise without spending a ridiculous amount of money.

Starbucks started its first campaign of “Buy one, Get one” offer for its US branches. A follower had to take a snap with the “Snap it Forward” filter to redeem this offer. After its epic success, Starbucks rolled out more such campaigns.

4. Take Influencer’s Aid

Imagine a viral moment exposing your business to thousands of followers in a few seconds.

Sounds crazy, but is it even possible?

Obviously, it is! All you need to do is to get some catalytic Influencers’ aid. They are the superstars of the social media world, and their endorsements have remarkable reach on Snapchat for brands.

But it would be best if you were vigilant. Don’t be fooled by an Influencer’s followers count alone—research about their previous collaboration and recent activity.

Before you spend a dime on this, here are a few things to keep in mind when getting started with influencer collaborations.

1. Decide on the goal of the campaign and choose your key performance indicators.
2. Start making a list of relevant influencers in your business domain.
3. Check which ones are active and spontaneous.
4. Use the Snapchat categories to zero down the niche of your ideal influencer.
5. Check with them one on one with a proposal for collaboration.

Tips You can use Ghostcodes to find influencers in a particular industry.

Let’s have a look at Dunkin’ Donuts’ National Donut Day campaign.

In this case, eight influencers took over the Dunkin’ Donuts Snapchat account for a bizarre snapchat promotion. This campaign helped them gain ten times more followers than usual. 40k+ users engaged with this campaign on various platforms.

5. Promote Exclusive Offers

Lucrative offers are tough to ignore. It would be best if you do that next precisely. Attract more followers with amazing discounts or giveaways.

Let’s say you own a line of beauty products. You can ask your followers to scan your Snapchat account and send a screenshot of theirs using your product. The best ones can avail of a discount on their next purchase.

You can also make use of AR lenses and Snapchat filters of your products for virtual trial outs. Build up an air of excitement and hype with these.

Look at Grubhub having daily challenges for college students making an excellent example of a Snapchat marketing strategy. This week-long #snaphunt encouraged their followers to be creative to win a giveaway worth $50. More than 30% of the followers participated, and another 20% raised the followers’ count.

6. Share Exciting Announcements

Promoting cross platforms is a must. It will make sure that your existing base follows you on every platform.

• Make your followers curious by giving them enough teasers and behind the scenes snaps.
• Announce flash sales and give away alerts for the winners of creative contests.
• Make use of geofilters and location-specific trends to set this exclusive content.

Let’s assume you have an ice cream parlor. You can host a contest for your followers to guess the new flavor you will be introducing in a couple of weeks. The top three winners will have any ice cream flavor for free until then.

Here is a viral example. Taco Bell launched its new Ar lens filter, and it became an instant hit. 224 million people witnessed it. Every person spent an average of 24 seconds before sending out the snap. It became a record-breaking Snapchat marketing campaign.

Phew, those are some wrecking numbers!

Conclusion

And now you know how to use Snapchat for business. Gear up to implement all of these for real.

The post 6 Tried and Tested Pinterest Marketing Tools for Expanding Reach appeared first on Social Media Marketing.

Social media is the best platform for all kind of businesses to promote their products. This is because it offers a wide audience and reach. If you want to make an impact on your customers and increase your online presence then social media is the right direction for you. Social media is the easiest and most affordable way of marketing. Here I have mentioned a few tips so that promoting your Etsy products is much easier on you.

1. Engaged Your Fans:

Keep in mind content is king on any social media platform. If you share unique and creative content, users will engage with your brand. Interesting content can liven up your social pages and make them appear more active and approachable. Therefore, it is a great idea to share good articles or images that are relevant to your Etsy store. The idea is to find great and relevant content and publish it frequently. Make sure to involve your fans in the creation process. You should be encouraging engagement, sharing your ideas and getting feedback from them as well. As a result, you will get more followers on social media as well as increase engagement with your posts.

2. Pin Good Quality Pictures On Pinterest:

Post attractive pictures of your products. Also, you can even post pictures of your manufacturing process to give your customers a small hint on how you create your products. Post high-quality images on Pinterest as well. This is an excellent way to stand out from your competition and immediately grab viewer’s attention.

In my previous article, I have explained how to use Pinterest to get more traffic to your blog. Therefore, whenever you launch the new product to your store, post pictures every time and encourage customer to buy your products. Whenever you find an attractive image on Pinterest, pin it your blog or share so they can also pin your image as well. Pinterest is the perfect place to share your wonderful creations, connect with customers and find inspiration.

3. Start Blogging:

Blogging is one of the great ways to promote your products. However, the blog itself is not the key to success. It’s what your blog is about that is important. Consequently, your blog should not just be one big advertisement for your products. Hence, it should be a place where your readers can get to know more about yourself and your work. It should also be a welcome place where they can interact with you and watch how you during product creation.

Therefore, a good rule of thumb is to not only advertise your product,  but engage the customer with your products. For example, don’t post something along the lines of “I just listed this Jewelry, buy them here”. Instead of post something like this instead: “Look to above post I created my latest earrings”. If you don’t have any idea of what to write about in your blog, consider topics such as personal reflections. What is happening in your life? Another important thing you need to consider is that you need to write frequently. Therefore, you should be at least writing once a week to increase your readers and followers. You can use automated blogging tools to help you write articles more quickly

4. Networking And Participating In Groups:

There are more than 800,000 sellers on Etsy this means there are many people are there with the same interest. When it comes to social media, you’ll find many groups about Etsy on Facebook. My suggestion is that you join them and share your products to those groups. There are also marketing groups that will assist you to increase your visibility and likes on Facebook. Start networking and participating in such groups by liking and commenting on other peoples post. Make sure your posts are genuine and relevant to what is being discussed. By all means, make sure you are actually adding to the discussion instead of just fluffing your way through the comments. If you like someone’s post, they just may like yours also. When you share your posts to the group, you will more than likely get more user engagement.

5. Use Hashtags Creatively:

Social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter supports hashtags. You can use hashtags relevant to your posts so that they become easy to discover. Also, you can monitor the topics and hashtags and make it a point to include them in your daily posts.

Use hashtags as ways to:

• • Promote your products by using latest hashtag topics
  • Also, take part in general discussions about the special topic (search topic about your craft, art and some of the other popular items)
  • Create interest in a marketing campaign by creating a unique hashtag just for your contest

6. Automate Promoting On Social Media:

When it comes to a retailer, social media is the primary source of all business. No matter what type of business you are doing, having an established presence on a social media platform helps you a lot. You can engage your customers and your fans to find new followers. The best tip with social media is to be active, consistent and interesting. However, when you do this thing manually, remember that it is a time-taking activity. Consequently, it might be a good idea to consider utilizing an automation tool for your posts. Remember, in the world of business, time is money. Your marketing time is very precious. Find the best tool to help you get the most out of your time.

There are so many automation tools to choose from that can help you schedule your products to be promoted on social media. In fact, promoting your products on multiple platforms at once (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and Pinterest) can cost a considerable amount of time and effort. Therefore we are thankful to be able to share a tool that rises above the rest. The app/extension known as SocialPilot will help you integrate your Etsy store so that it is easier to automate social media promotions. You can easily schedule your posts for a entire month easily and efficiently all in once place.

7. Maintain Consistency On Social Media:

You’ll need to continue posting even if you are getting a lots of engagement on your pages, still you need to post twice or thrice to maintain a constant stream of engaging content. When you start losing consistency with your content, your customer will eventually lose interest in the content you post. Keep up with your posts and, more importantly, with your replies. Try to reply immediately on social media when you get a message or complaint. Establishing and maintaining a presence on social media means just that. You have to be present and participating.

Social media is the place where you need to be consistent and creative with your posts in order to get more engagement from your customers. Post content that you and your customer will find interesting to read and share on social media. If it is something that you would enjoy, like-minded customers will take the time to enjoy the same thing.
