Less promotion, more presence

A lot of companies use social media platforms to sell products and services actively. This is not received very well among people because, after a point, all those ads become cumbersome.   Even if you are a brand looking to grow and push your products, don’t make it an ‘in your face’ ordeal because that is just a bad look. People will get put off and they might never return to your page.   Instead, use your creativity to come up with subtle ways to put out your products and services. But most importantly, use social media as a means to engage and communicate with people. Understand people’s needs and try to meet those needs.  
You cannot build an empire for yourself on social media in a day. It takes some time and you will need to be patient. Your presence has to be consistent and something people can rely on. Establish a routine, if you say you will post videos every Saturday, make sure you do.  Make sure your every post is well-aligned with what your brand stands for. Be in congruence with your brand’s image. Let the social media responsibilities be limited to a few who understand your company’s essence and let them carry it forward.
