know your customers

Are you seeing a decline on your sales? Are you blaming your marketing strategies on it? Maybe it’s just not working for you anymore. And since it’s Know Your Customers Day, we’ll break down some practices that you might want to do so you’ll know them better.

One thing you should keep in mind in trying to know your customers is that their preferences always change.

tiktok marketing

The social media industry has always been challenging when it comes to online marketing. There’s always something new that comes up and you’re never so sure if you want to spend time and effort in investing marketing forces there. Something comes up and dies down most of the time, right? And what’s left in the end are your usual staples: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

When a new social media platform called TikTok came out, you might have asked: should I consider this for an online marketing effort? TikTok is a short video social media platform. Yes, just like what Vine was.

How to Maximize IGTV for Your Brand

by Rocket Social Team

in Advice, Instagram

Comments

Last June, Instagram just launched its new addition to their long list of features – the IGTV.

IGTV is Instagram’s long-video format platform that allows creators to upload up to one hour of video on their “channel” (as they call it). Currently, this is only available to select creators – those who have IG accounts with a huge following (Selena Gomez, Kim K, Kevin Hart, and Lele Pons to name a few).

Both creators and audience can access IGTV by tapping on the orange TV button in the app, or download a stand-alone IGTV app.

Once you click the button, it will instantly play content from people you follow or what the algorithm thinks that you would like based on the accounts you follow and your view behavior.

Anything is now possible with Instagram with this TV feature. And while it is still a young one, it would be best to prepare to dive into the bigger picture and plan out on how you can maximize IGTV for your brand.

Getting an influencer to represent your brand has been an important thing for most brands lately. This is called Influencer Marketing.

Here are a few points you want to consider before getting an influencer (or two) for your brand.

Instagram’s Boomerang was one of the biggest trends in social media marketing last year. SM experts and gurus have predicted that it would still be one of the trends this year.

Taking creative Boomerangs would surely kick in some fun on your IG stories and posts; something that your audience would really love.

But how do you take creative Boomerangs exactly? Well, there’s really no exact formula but we could give you a few tips to start with.
