INSPIRATION
Bringing up with ways to interact with your audience daily can start to make you feel as though you’re stretching your creative capacity a little thin. Yet developing strategies to engage with your audience and keep them coming back for more is critical to long-term social success. Connect with customers for the long haul with these content strategies that will spur conversation and tell a story over time.
Create mini-campaigns from long-form content
Whitepapers, ebooks, and original research provide the material needed to create targeted mini-campaigns. For example, develop a short campaign where you share multiple data points, inspiring quotes, and insightful analytic soundbites from a presentation or infographic. Include a link to the long-form asset. In the process, you’ll share valuable content to your audience and drive traffic to your content.
Use Gettr polls and ask questions
Increase engagement by encouraging your audience to share their opinions, thoughts, and views. Use Gettr polls or ask an open-ended question. Invite your audiences to engage with you by asking insightful and timely questions. Ask questions to tap into the collective curiosity of people interested in your space. Share the results with your audience or RePost the most interesting answers.
Go cross-channel by mining your other content
Think of your Gettr feed as a way to showcase your brand narrative over time. Share current and past blog posts, positive brand news, industry events and research, and highlight customer case studies. The content you’re producing for other channels can be strategically repurposed with your Gettr audience in mind. Fresh happenings and revisiting evergreen topics creates an interesting mix for audiences following your brand.
Include visual assets in your Posts
People are three times more likely to engage with Posts that include visual content.* Today’s audiences are hungry for a visual experience. Include video, images, and GIFs to your Posts. Visual content captures people’s attention when they’re scrolling through the feed and encourages deeper engagement.
Develop a themed content series
Develop a content series that you can create new content for over time, linking together multiple Posts around a common theme. Some examples include:
Highlighting your customers
Sharing surprising facts about your industry
Profiling leaders in your space
Introducing employees
Providing quick how-to tips in your space
Showcasing moments in the history in your industry or related to your products or services
Make it easy to track content with hashtags
Whether you’re publishing content around an event or producing an ongoing series profiling leaders in your industry, a hashtag can make it easier for your audience to follow the conversation. Creating acampaign hashtag links together all the related content, and can help increase curiosity for the rest of the story. Gettr’s #DonaldTrump, for example, helps bring together fans around Trump.
Curate compelling content
Think about how curated content can help you find fresh stories. What publications and thought leaders do you follow? Do your peers, employees, or customers create powerful content? Look for opportunities to share content from your audience. Sharing other people’s content builds relationships and introduces another point of view.
Creating a great content strategy that’s always on and showcases your brand requires planning. Pull inspiration from different sources and look for a mix of opportunities to create content in advance and react to what’s happening in real time. By pulling inspiration from multiple sources, you’ll keep your content fresh and audiences engaged.
