Growing your business > prime times for posting on social media
We have been talking a lot about different social platforms and which one’s to engage in to build your brand, grow your relationships, get a high return on investment, and ultimately, generate sales. Now we are going to go even further and talk about what kinds of content to create for both and which times are best to post.
More isn’t necessarily better when it comes to posting on social media, instead think about being in the right place at the right time.
People have different wants and needs from their social engagement at different times of the day, so with the help of Sprout Social, we have outlined the prime times to connect to a world audience, to promote goods and services, and when to entertain and inform. Remember that the key is consistency, so determining who is going to do the job, how often, and when, then sticking to it, are the most important tricks of the trade.
“If you post too infrequently, your audience will forget that you exist and you will quickly fade into the deep dark recesses of their minds. However, if you are posting too often, you will become a complete nuisance and they will dread seeing your posts overcrowding their feed.”
