In this episode, Jen and Todd discuss the impact of social media on businesses and how it can work effectively.
They explore notable social media strategies that successful companies like Red Bull use, noting that such companies often promote a brand image rather than direct product selling.
The conversation stresses the importance of understanding and knowing your audience and providing content that will resonate with them. This includes aspects such as posts about the brand's culture, engagements, and even outfits.
They emphasize the need for emotion-driven content, highlighting that consumers purchase based on how they feel about a brand, not just the products or services it offers.
They also note that while big follower numbers can seem impressive, for small businesses and personal brands, what matters more is the quality of followers, not the quantity.
In conclusion, they note that when it comes to social media for business, it's essential to have a clear game plan, post consistent and engaging content, avoid focusing too much on product pushing, and understand that it's more about the clients than the business itself.
