We’ll get into paid social media a little later on, but an important stop on the brand awareness train comes from organic social media.
Are you creating content that’s worthy of a follower sending to a friend? Or, maybe even tagging them?
In the former, it all comes down to creating content that is high-quality, that triggers an emotional response, and that adds value to a follower’s life enough that they would want to share it with a friend.
For the latter, a social media contest is the perfect way to get your followers tagging their own network, many of whom may not have even heard of you yet. There isn’t just one way a social media contest can be done––in fact, there are many,––but the most important element they all share is that they ask your followers to tag, share, or re-post your content in exchange for a chance to win a prize, and in doing so, they gain you reach and brand awareness.
