Today we are sharing 3 simple tips to help increase your social strategy!

This is a great way to not only help another sister out BUT it also caters to YOUR audience and customers!

It’s a great opportunity for both you and the other person to gain awareness and credibility!
Track and Improve Marketing Efforts
Client: “My biz isn’t growing”
Chic Team: “Well how is your engagement? Have your impressions dropped from week to week? What were your strongest posts within the last 2-3 months? What does your social strategy look like for the next month?”
Client: *Confused & Speechless*
Friends, YOU NEED TO TRACK YOUR INSIGHTS!
How are you supposed to know if your message is being HEARD? If people are actually STAYING? If what you are putting out in the world is actually making an impact?
We know how much your story matters, and how frustrating it can be when you feel that your message isn’t being heard or seen.

PSST: We have also included resources, content starters, weekly planning, reflection, brainstorming activities, and online trainings as well as a collaborative Facebook group.
Create Engaging Content
Having great engagement means that your content is making an impact on your audience – aka you’re building trust and credibility! We know how important that is when you are promoting your products and services! Engagement plays a HUGE role when you are working on your content strategy.
The higher the engagement, the more likely it is that the content will be boosted in the newsfeed, attracting more eyes and attention. These sort of actions are evidence that people aren’t just seeing your content. They’re actively interested in what you have to say.
Importantly, engagement only has value when it’s genuine and understanding it is a 2-way street. You can have 1M followers but if you aren’t having any sort of engagement, that number means nothing.
Yes, engagement on Instagram entails the amount of likes you get on a photo BUT it is also SO MUCH MORE. Other contributing factors of engagement are:
- Interactive Comments (yes, it’s important to reply!)
- Shares
- Saves
- Direct Messages
- Website Taps
- Mentions
- Followers & Growth
These sort of actions are proof that people aren’t just seeing your content. They’re actively interested in what you have to say and you are building your trust and credibility. This can be tracked through IMPRESSIONS & REACH and plays a huge role when creating your social strategy content.
