Social Media• Keep the posts short (posts under 80 characters show 27 % more
"engagement")
• Avoid using capital letters
• Best time to reach users: 8am, 12pm-1pm, and 5pm-11 pm
• Use questions in your posts (a question should always be positioned at the end of the post → results in 15 % higher engagement rate - When, where, would, why, how, which - “Which lamp do you prefer?”)
• Take advantage of different occasions by customizing posts For example: Mother’s Day -“Did you forget to buy something to your mother? This is the perfect gift..."
• Put the Facebook and Instagram Icon on the top of your webpage → more easily seen and clicked (Today the icon is in the bottom)
• Promote your Facebook page and Instagram account in-store (walls, packaging, business cards & doors) → creates awareness
