Social Marketing Needs The Personal Touch
One mistake that many people make is to approach social marketing as a business. Whilst you may represent your business, you are a person and it is the human that others want to socialize with, not the business.
You can add a personal touch in a number of ways. The most obvious is with a photo of yourself in your profile. Your photo should be a pleasant shot that show you at your best – a smile even helps a little.
Other touches can include revealing a little about yourself. Personal interests, education level, children. Anything you are comfortable revealing online.
With these personal touches, you are letting the world know you are human. I am sure you have seen profiles before that are empty when it comes to personal touches. You know immediately that these individuals are not interested in socializing, they are there to push their products or services.
By adding a human touch, you are differentiating yourself from those individuals and removing the tarnish of social abuser.
