Why Your Social Media Is A Load Of Rubbish

Posted on December 4, 2019

That’s right, your social media is pants.

Just awful, assuming you’re doing the following…

One.

You’re posting catalogue images of your products. And nothing else.

Two.

Your post wording is made up purely of facts about your products.

Three.

You don’t respond to comments on your posts.

Four.

You don’t know anything about the algorithms which rule the Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn newsfeeds.

Five.

You don’t ‘like’ friendly or positive comments on your posts.

Six.

You don’t check the analytics of your posts at least once a week and respond accordingly.

Seven.

You don’t respond to customer service issues publicly but post a “please DM” message and nothing else.

Twenty-two.

You think LinkedIn content has to be formal because “it’s not Facebook”.

Twenty-three.

Your restrictive brand guidelines are stifling your social media creativity.

Twenty-four.

Your company profile pictures include unreadable text.

Twenty-five.

Your company banner pictures are low-resolution and pixelated.

You wait for people to join your live videos before getting into the content.

Twenty-seven.

You’re on every platform because you feel you need to be.

Twenty-eight.

You don’t know the best time of day to post to reach your audience.

Twenty-nine.

You post the same content across all your platforms.

Thirty.

You think the most important word in “social media” is media.

So, yeah. If you relate to some of these then the chances are your company’s social media sucks.

Sorry.
