Creative marketing using social media channels

Fresh social media content is becoming a rarity these days. Viewers and active social media followers often get bored scrolling through similar content from different brands. If you are seriously considering social media platforms as a primary marketing and lead generation medium, then do start thinking of creative digital marketing strategies across all social media channels.

Here are a few creative marketing strategies you can use to promote your content on social media channels.

Get more organic shares by getting your viewers to tag friends

Lots of brands are using this technique to get more organic shares and retweets. People generally tag their friends and relatives if the content is useful to them, makes them laugh or helps them in some way. You can create content and encourage your followers to tag people who can relate to it. This will ensure easy and quick exposure.

Always be active on social media and be responsive to any posts from customers who have actually used your product or service. SMEs with smart digital marketing teams gain huge popularity by just sharing content from other users.

Be proactive and combine brand stories with the latest trending topics and hashtags
