When using social media to market your business it’s important to get a good following of people and bring a good level of traffic through your business social media page.

There are some highly effective simple ways to do this thus boosting your social media presence.

Firstly it’s important to post regular content to your social media ideally things that people will want to share with their friends and family. You need to make sure that the content is relevant to your business but not too pushy or too aggressively sales-like.

A great way of using posts designed to be shared to improve your visibility would be to do things like run competitions through your business where the followers of your page get the chance to win a prize simply by sharing a post. This means each person on their friend list will also see the post helping with brand recognition.

You can also share posts to do with humour or current affairs that your followers may find interesting however this should always be done with caution as you don’t want to cause offence or any damage to your brand if your followers don’t like the post. This method of using social media can be very effective as you can end up with many shares in a short space of time.
