Social media is a fantastic tool for businesses. But as with any tool, it’s only helpful if you’re using it correctly. Otherwise it can do more harm than good. Bad, or lack of, social media strategy could seriously hurt your business.

• Unattractive visuals – We live in an age where people like viewing pleasing images, and there is no shortage of them online. So you need to spend the time, and maybe money, to create good-looking graphics and videos to engage your viewers and ensure that people don’t pass you by.
• Inconsistency – You can’t build a brand if you’re all over the place. Without a consistent message throughout your design and posted content, people won’t be able to figure out who you really are and what your business is all about.
• Not connecting with the community – You must connect with your audience. Creating a personalized experience for consumers, responding to reviews, it all demonstrates how much you care, and is of the highest importance in building your successful brand.
• Not investing properly in reaching your target audience – Yes social media is a free tool, but without investing further in it, all of your carefully crafted posts will never find your perfect audience. There is still a need to invest in running targeted ads on social media to assure your posts and brand are reaching your ideal demographic.
