What if there were a solution? One that allowed you to succeed at all of the above without working even half as hard? Time to work smarter, not harder, with these 4 tips for franchise social media strategy.
- Template your social marketing materials ahead of time with the colors, logo, and other details it needs to keep messaging on-brand. This will make it quick and easy to create new materials as needed. Simply add the copy and images into one of your pre-formatted options, and it will look polished and ready to share in minutes.
- Take advantage of user-generated content that your customers create and share in-venue. In the age of the selfie, there’s no question that guests are already talking about their experience at your business online. Save time and money by leveraging their posts as word-of-mouth marketing, and incentivize them share more.
- Build customer loyalty by celebrating guests and the community. Everyone loves being recognized and knowing a business cares about the area they serve. Shout out regulars and acknowledge local events. You can even go so far as to cheer on a local sports team!
- Find out what’s working by taking a thorough look at the feedback and analytics of your social media strategy. Social media, lighthearted as it may seem, is as much of a science as your other marketing campaigns. A quick look at the numbers can shed light on how to optimize your efforts, and may even inspire some creative ideas!
