Businesses seeking to make a mark on social and engage with customers effectively need to consider the following tips to be successful.

Post consistently
Whether you use a tool to schedule Facebook posts and tweets, or keep an editorial calendar to remind you of what is getting posted on YouTube next week, posting on your channels of choice consistently is what keeps your brand at the front of consumer minds.

Learn from Social
Most importantly, engaging with social channels and keeping track of consumer response to your brand teaches you more and more each time about who your customers are and how they think, making it easier to target them in the future and attract them to your brand again and again.

Remember, 25% of all time spent online is on Facebook and other social networks. Make sure you have a social presence and that you’re using the options available to you to make your social program a success.
