It’s important to keep up with social media trends. Regardless of your industry, keeping your social media presence on-trend can be a great way to build rapport with followers.
As print has declined over the last decade or so, social media has quickly filled the gap, becoming an important part of almost all business’s audience based advertising & marketing.
The statistics speak for themselves: 75% of businesses use Twitter for online marketing, with 31% of users likely to recall what they saw on the platform. With Twitter users so engaged with the platform, the benefits of keeping your brand on point are clear.
But don’t let the words “social media” trick you into thinking these platforms are purely for being social. With algorithms being updated to consistently push ads above organic content (especially from brands), businesses using social media marketing need to work smarter than ever.
One quick way to be smarter than the brand standing next to you, at least when it comes to social media, is simply upgrading your post designs.
Quickly-snapped photos are the only option for many small brands, who often disregard the importance of branded content. This, it would seem, is that most SMBs consider well-branded and professionally designed social posts something only available to the international corporations… Well not anymore!
Today we’ll share with you 15 FREE readymade templates that anyone can use to upgrade their social media posts. With these free-to-use templates, anyone can upgrade their posts to stand out from the crowd.
