For every business, the holiday time is a time to be profitable. With buyers eager for new products and services, it can keep business owners busy. Do you need to advertise? Absolutely! And social media is where it is all at today, so we’re going to share seven social media hacks with you to use this holiday season that can save you time.
1. Twitter Hashtags: Use the less popular
Sound weird? Yes, but if it works, go for it, but don’t forget to use the trending hashtags. Try using a blend of both popular and not-as popular hashtags and see how many more clicks you get.
2. Twitter Tool: Buffer You can re-schedule top tweets
Scroll through to find your top-ranking tweets and the most clicked then you can retweet them. They worked once, twice couldn’t hurt, sometimes they’ll get more clicks the second time around. You’ll find your stats on the analytic tab on your dashboard.
3. Facebook Posts: Get Silly
The holidays are an exciting and fun time, so get silly and spiffy up your holiday marketing Facebook posts. Things that can make a Facebook post fun:
- Images
- Jokes
- Polls
- Questions
- Quotes
- Videos
Find ones that are charming or hilarious related to your products or services.
4. Repost Facebook Post: Change Them Up and Repost
Re-featuring a post you had earlier on Facebook with a bit of change about a product or service is an eyecatcher, especially if you’re trying to spread the word on something new! Change any of these four parts will make the same old post look different:
- The description
- The image link
- The headline link
- The subheadline link
Don’t post the same offer several times one day and provide different information, so your Facebook timeline doesn’t come off as spam.
