10 Tips for Social Media

I recently spoke to a small networking group for my Chamber of Commerce, reviewing basic concepts of design work in relation to social media posts.

Here are 10 tips which I recommended for design related social media business marketing on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn:

1. Make content creative, relevant and aesthetically pleasing
2. Encourage user-generated content
3. Use hashtags
4. Link to other sites
5. Have a content strategy
6. Schedule time to dedicate to social media
7. Track performance
8. Have clear goals, do not waste your time and money
9. Be consistent with current marketing campaigns
10. Make sure results coming in are relevant to your business

Design is the intermediary between information and understanding.
