Social Media
Using social media is most people’s go-to option when they want to create and post content to get engagement from users. Utilising platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and TikTok in the right ways can prove themselves to be a powerful tool for connecting with new audiences.
Creating and publishing newsletters regularly to your email subscribers with updates, promotions, product recommendations, and valuable content relevant to them, can help you nurture leads, retain customers, and drive sales.
Video Content
Producing video content such as product demos, tutorials, behind-the-scenes footage, testimonials, or comedic content for major platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok can help you engage with your audience, especially since it’s proven more and more people are engaging better with video content.
Infographics
Infographics are a great way to showcase data, statistics, or complex concepts in a visually appealing way to better get your message across to help you attract attention and increase engagement.
Podcasts
Podcasts are now more popular than ever, so hosting a podcast around a particular topic where you discuss trends, interview experts and share stories will help to provide something of value to your audience.
Webinars
Webinars are still an effective way to showcase expertise to a whole new audience whereby you can interact with the audience in real-time, build up trust and create more intimate connections with people.
