Get your fans and followers to share your content actively

You cannot force people to share your posts and tweets. The more you start asking people to share content, the less interested they become with your page. Interesting campaigns, offering gifts and prizes for shares and giving people a chance to win competitions on social media helps your post reach more number of people easily. Marc Jacobs gave out free samples of their perfumes when people shared their social media posts. They also allowed customers in London to pay for their products using just shares instead of money. This gave their brand and their posts enormous recognition on social media for several days together.
