Start incorporating video on your company’s social media platforms

Video is the biggest thing in social media right now. Over the last few years, it has become the cornerstone of many top corporations’ social media campaigns. However, even though people are increasingly consuming online videos on a daily basis, many companies still aren’t using digital video as part of their social media strategy.

If you’re looking to grow your book of business, use LinkedIn

Are you looking for new employees, new clients, or simply trying to raise awareness for your brand? No matter the case, prospecting on LinkedIn is easy with a little dedication.

Rethink media relations’ role in your communication strategy

Earning media coverage for your company is more difficult than ever. Newsrooms are smaller and journalists cover multiple beats and report for multiple platforms. Additionally, there are more opportunities for advertising. It’s time to rethink media relations and understand its role in your overall communication strategy.

LinkedIn now has roughly 630 million users. The social platform is growing rapidly with two professionals joining every second. Whether your company specializes in B2B sales or B2C sales, it’s critical that you understand LinkedIn.

When you say the word “but” in a conversation, people tend to dread the remainder of your sentence. This one simple word has an extremely negative connotation.

Grow your business using media contacts

When you think about how to get explosive business growth, you probably imagine your company website displaying on the first page of Google’s search results – and all the traffic that comes with that. No doubt, this is something that would do it. However, there are other ways to grow your company without necessarily being No. 1 on Google. And one of the most important is building solid media connections.

Keeping your company’s website updated is an important factor in driving traffic and revenue. According to Adobe, given 15 minutes to consume content, two-thirds of people would rather read something off a beautifully designed page than plain text. Fifty-one percent of people feel that “thorough contact information” is the most important element missing from many company websites. Thirty-nine percent of people will stop engaging with a website if images won’t load or if they take too long to load.
