The 'Social' in Your Social Media Marketing is Missing: 3 Fierce Fixes to Light Up Engagement
4/28/2025
You’ve got the brand. The visuals. The content calendar.
But your engagement? Flat.
Let’s call it what it is: the “social” part of your social media is MIA.
You're not alone. Too many brands treat social like a loudspeaker, not a two-way street. But audiences don’t want a monologue — they want a moment. A vibe. A connection.
Here’s how to fix that in three no-fluff moves.
1. Stop Broadcasting. Start Connecting.
If every post is about you, you’re missing the point.
✅ Talk about your audience — their struggles, their wins, their questions.
✅ Share content that solves problems or sparks curiosity.
✅ Make it personal. Know who you’re talking to and what matters to them.
Pro tip: You're not the main character. They are.
2. Talk With People, Not At Them
Social is a conversation, not a press release.
✅ Host live Q&As, polls, or “Ask Me Anything” sessions.
✅ Reply to comments like a human, not a bot.
✅ Ask questions and actually listen to the answers.
Reality check: Most brands ghost their audience. Don’t be that brand.
3. Build a Community, Not a Crowd
You don’t need millions of followers. You need true fans.
✅ Highlight your community. Reshare their posts. Celebrate their wins.
✅ Partner with micro-influencers who genuinely love your product.
✅ Reward loyalty — early access, shoutouts, behind-the-scenes peeks.
Win-win: When they feel seen, they’ll stick around (and bring others with them).
Bottom Line:
Social media isn’t a billboard. It’s a bonfire.
If your engagement feels cold, it’s time to throw in some sparks.
