Whether you are building up your own brand or have chosen to work with a professional agency (like us here at your Online Capital Group!), the goal of engaging your audience means getting the best content for your viewers. Ultimately, you want to earn the loyalty you need from your audience with your social media campaigns. While many businesses are getting great results from more costly and laborious videos, they could also be achieved with carefully executed photos. Below you will find some tips for how to craft an enticing and effective social media photograph that will have your followers looking for more. The first very important tip comes in the form of a question: What are your customer's aspirations? By aligning your content with the aspirations of your customers, just like you have with your product or service, you will automatically engage them in a place that is meaningful to them. Take pictures that reflect the life moments they aspire to have and how your product or service can help them achieve that. The content will be irresistible to them, driving them to your content from their already existing motivation. The more clearly they can imagine themselves as the subject of the scene in the content you are publishing, the better! Shooting a brand photo should be considered just as much a part of brand design as the style of the brand itself. By creating a signature look to your photographs, you are letting your potential customers know that they are looking at your brand as they scroll through their feed. For example, you can take all of your shots from the same angle or with a very similar subject matter or color palette. Providing a unique flair with your images will also claim them as belonging to your brand, and everyone else will catch on quickly. Lastly, include a symbol of your brand in the photos. A huge brand, like Hootsuite, for example, includes a little stuffed owl in their posts. Being the mascot for their brand, there is no doubt that when you see the cute little fella that Hootsuite (or a really big fan!) is the author of the post. Whether it be elegant, obnoxious, or sleek, naturally incorporating a symbolic representation of your brand into all of your photos is a great way to get great photos for your social media strategies.
