Social media optimisation is a crucial part of any marketing campaign. After all, it is nigh on impossible to escape the importance and relevance of social networking.

Too often you can land on a company’s Twitter or Facebook page and find yourself bored by the same sort of dull, repetitive posts. It may not sound like the best way to conduct your campaign, but think about using your social network site page like you would with friends. Engaging with your audience is essential. If people comment on a link or post, take some time out to reply. Don’t just use your page to promote; use it to contact others. Don’t expect people to follow you without paying them the same courtesy.

Design your posts to bring people back. Post teasers, ask advice, use opinion polls. The idea of pre-announcement is one that can work well on a social networking site. Think about films and books, we know about their launch date way before they are released. If you are publishing a new article or launching a new campaign; pre-announce it! Tease your audience with bits of information and invite them to come back on a certain date for more information. It’s almost guaranteed that your audience will want to come back to find out more. Reciprocation and participation are essential to keep your audience coming back for more.
