More online challenges, hashtags, memes, TikToks, videos, likes, retweets, shares and breaking news are all over our feeds every single day. Most of you would call it a social media presence, but for me, it feels like information overload!
With the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic that has caused us out of our daily routine, most social media users are looking for a balance in this very unusual period. 45% of global consumers are devoting more time on social media because most of the time we are only at our home with less activities to do due to limited opportunity to go out. And with that percentage, 10% of global consumers are creating and uploading their own content for their own consumption. But, bear in mind that users are focusing their time and energy more selectively.
Fortunately, many users are now aware of how to filter out the noise and find safe spaces on social media simply by joining small communities with similar interests. And with more negative news that surrounds the world, it’s very important for brands to put out content in moderation, focus on key messaging and remember their brand values. How are you going to communicate the right information to your community? Because according to a recent study, 70% of consumers search for brands they follow based on where they stand politically or relevant to what is happening in the world today. So before you release content leaning towards a strong issue, make sure it’s aligned with your brand’s true mission and vision.
So what does this mean?
It means that ‘netizens’ are now filtering out the noise. They can easily cut meaningless content. More importantly, not every trend needs to be jumped on, it’s not always about posting something with a need to belong, but try to be relevant whether it is good or not for the brand. Number one rule on the internet: If you don’t have anything to say, don’t post it.
Another important reminder is to make sure you aren’t polluting your followers’ feed with the exact same content across all platforms. Your followers most likely know what you are saying. Instead, always ask: 1. Is it serving a purpose? 2. Does it suit the behaviors of a user on this platform?
If you aren't able to achieve different content across all platforms, adjust the delivery or don’t post across all. Content is not about a guessing game, your brand should always have a related objective around the target audience and their behaviors. You don’t have to post a long-form trailer on TikTok so, make it a practice to adjust your content depending on the platform.
Think of each platform like a plant: hear me out, some need more sun, some need more water. If you water a plant daily it may thrive, but another may suffer – just like a post, should have a balance of frequency and content delivery. The word ‘social’ is about understanding the users’ journey behavior and algorithm. May it be either long-form or short-form, stills or GIF’s, polls or text-only, always adjust to your brand’s content in an orderly fashion.
All in all, the key is to stay consistent and relevant to allow your channels to be a space your fans want to communicate and engage in. This means getting to the root of the message and making content fresh & fit for purpose.
