Show the Love on Social Media

It’s time to set the mood. And there’s no better place to start than social media. Creating a perfectly romantic atmosphere will undoubtedly intrigue and seduce your customers – sparking their interest and getting them engaged.

So, where should you start?

Themed Polls

If you haven’t used themed polls on social media, you’re missing out. They’re a fun way to get your audience involved. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram all offer this option, so there’s no excuse.

When creating polls, you’ll want to consider the frequency, timing, and relevance. You have the option to post as many times as you like, just make sure the questions you ask are relevant to your business. You could opt to post daily during the week leading to Valentine’s Day, or you may choose to do it every other day or so. It’s up to you. Just make sure the questions you ask are engaging enough to get your audience’s attention.

Imagery

Let your creativity shine! Updating your profile images and cover photos on social media to a Valentine’s Day motif is a surefire way to get noticed. If you happen to be running a specific Valentine’s Day marketing campaign, be sure to incorporate that into the message of your cover photos.

Hashtags

Never underestimate the power of the #. One little hashtag for a campaign can drive engagement and boost your brand awareness in no time. If you’re developing a Valentine’s Day campaign, be sure to create a hashtag exclusive to your brand and campaign that can be shared on social media.

You can go one step further and create a social media hashtag contest. For example, if you’re selling a specific product during your campaign, ask your customers to take a pic of the product they purchased, share it on social with the campaign hashtag, and offer an incentive.

Make your content exciting and fun to get your audience engaged.
