How to Build Back Customer Loyalty After Covid-19

Improving and measuring customer loyalty is crucial for every business in gaining visibility and profit – allowing businesses to not only retain loyal customers for the long-term, but capitalize on this to attract new customers. But when Covid-19 restrictions began, the importance of customer loyalty became even more apparent. Consumer spending was at an all-time low globally, meaning word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat purchases became crucial for many businesses. 66% of consumers would keep buying from their preferred brand, even if that company is competing against a “more innovative” business, showing how powerful consumer loyalty can be.  In this article, we’ll explore 6 tactics you can use to boost your brand’s customer experience and build brand advocates that last once Covid-...

WhatsApp Adds Option to Speed Up Voice Message Playback

Here's a quick one, which could come in handy for those who communicate via voice messages - and in particular, long voice messages. Today, WhatsApp has added new variable playback speed control options for audio replies. It's pretty straightforward - now, when you get a voice message, you can play it regular 1x speed, or you lean slightly more towards Chipmunk-style voices by cranking the playback to 1.5x, or even 2.0x regular speed. Which, as many have noted, alternative messaging app Telegram has actually enabled its users to do since 2018.  Telegram, and another messaging app, Signal, have both gained traction over the past few months due to WhatsApp's controversial privacy policy update, which will enable it to share some data from user transactions with businesses in WhatsApp acros...

Twitter Adds Spaces Access via the Web as it Continues to Develop its Audio Social Platform

Twitter has taken another steady leap forward in the evolving audio social sphere by adding Spaces access via the web, meaning that you can now tune into Twitter Spaces from your desktop PC. It's not perfect as yet. I tried to tune into a couple of Spaces and got as far as this screen, which remained stagnant for as long as I waited. But early teething problems aside, the ability to access Spaces on the web is a significant advance, as it not only opens up the option to even more users, but it also enables hosts and speakers to use their PC microphones and audio set-ups, which will lend itself to more professional sounding, higher quality Spaces streams. As you can see in the image above, when you go to join a Space on your PC, you'll first get a preview of the Space, similar to the mo...

The Complete List of Social Media Holidays (2021 Edition)

Organic reach is pretty hard to find for brands in 2021, with the rare exception of social media holidays. When coupled with the right hashtag, these holidays provide businesses with an occasion to reach a like-minded crowd. Who makes social media holidays up? Some days are the byproducts of marketing campaigns. Some were declared by official organizations such as the United Nations. Others seem to have been manifested by the sheer absurdity of the Internet. Some days have multiple holidays, such as May 7, which happens to be National Beer Day in the United States and World Health Day. Some days are about serious issues, other days are National Just Because Day (August 27). Some are strictly social media holidays, while many are holidays off social media, too. Not every social media holida...

6 Reasons Every Local Business Must Market With Google My Business Listing

Most of us spend endless hours and resources for social media marketing, but we end up ignoring the most preliminary step, and that’s optimizing our search rankings. No matter how many social media platforms you actively use, Google search still remains the favorite go-to option for making vital buying decisions. One of the first things that customers looking for your products and services online will do is an in-depth Google search. In fact, Google has reported that 46% of all searches have local intent and that business location is the main piece of information sought by local searches. But how do you make sure you pop up in their search results with relevant information across multiple devices? The easiest and fastest way to show up in the search feed is to have a Google My Business lis...

How The Clubhouse Phenomenon Could be Utilized as a Marketing Strategy

If you don’t happen to be familiar with the unique audio-based social network, Clubhouse, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many haven’t had the chance to use it because they’re either not on an iOS device or they haven’t received an invite. However, it’s likely that marketers will soon wake up en masse to the potential of this platform as a unique opportunity to win new leads and leverage fresh conversions for their business.  Despite launching in May 2020, by the end of the year Clubhouse was enjoying having over 600,000 registered users, despite a lack of presence on Android devices and online.  (Image: Backlinko) As we can see, in early 2021 Clubhouse downloads have spiraled past six million thanks in no small part to Elon Musk’s advocacy of the platform.

Twitter is Working on New Folders Within Bookmarks to Categorize Your Saved Tweets

This will be welcome news for those who regularly save a bunch of tweets.  According to a new finding posted by reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is working on a new folders option within the Bookmarks tab, which would enable users to save tweets into a range of defined categories - or 'Collections', as Twitter is currently calling them. As you can see here, the new process would enable you to create category folders within your Bookmarks tab. You would then be able to choose which folder/collection you want to save a tweet to when you go to bookmark it in-stream (last screenshot above). That could provide a handy way to keep tabs on various tweets of interest - while it could also point to the platform's gradually evolving eCommerce tools, with the folders providing...

7 Ways for Social Marketers to Avoid Social Media Burnout

The fuse of a social media manager burns at both ends. Most people experience social media burnout and workplace fatigue at some point. But social media managers often feel the burn of both at the same time. For social media professionals, self-care tips smack a little differently. How do you unplug when being plugged in is your job?

Facebook Workplace Reaches 7 Million Paid Subscribers, Adds New Q&A and Integration Tools

Amid ongoing concerns around its potential negative impacts on society, and issues with how it can be used to spread hate, how it squeezes competition, and how controls the digital advertising market. Despite all of these concerns, Facebook continues to grow, in new ways, and become more and further intertwined with our everyday interactive processes. Yesterday, we reported on the rising sales of the company's Portal smart speaker device, and today, Facebook has provided an update on yet another of its offerings, with its Workplace platform reaching a new milestone of 7 million paying subscribers, up from 5 million a year ago. Workplace has more than doubled its user count over the last 19 months, which is partly due to the pandemic, which has forced more organizations to offer work from ...

Snapchat Rises to 280 Million Users, Reports Strong Take-Up of TikTok-Like ‘Spotlight’ Option

Snapchat has posted its latest performance update, showing solid increases in both usage and revenue throughout Q1 2021. The numbers will certainly raise some eyebrows, and likely get more social media marketers considering their options on the app. First off, on usage - Snapchat is now being used by 280 million people every day, a 22% increase in year-over-year performance, and the app's biggest increase in its YoY usage growth in more than 3 years As you can see here, while Snapchat usage increased in all regions, the app once again saw its biggest growth in the 'Rest of World' segment, which is largely due to the company's ongoing investment in more localized content and improved language support options. Snap has seen particularly strong growth in India of late, with its Android upd...

Do Photos With People Perform Better on Instagram?

No matter how religiously you follow updates to the Instagram algorithm, getting your posts in front of people isn’t going to do you much good if they don’t actually like what they’re seeing. Social media is ultimately for people, not robots — which means getting true engagement requires appealing to what people like. We already know that visually beautiful or interesting content performs best here. (You’ve been trying out our tricks for taking and editing good Instagram photos, right?) But beyond composition or graphic design, is there a type of photo that people like more? Well, the hunch of many a social media manager is that pictures of people perform better than those without. (Sorry, landscape photogs.) But why rely on a gut instinct, when we have a whole special column here on the H...

TikTok Launches New Ads Library, Enabling You to Find the Best Performing Ads in a Range of Categories

If you're running TikTok ads, or you're thinking of launching a TikTok ad campaign, this could be hugely valuable.

Building Brand Trust on Social Media [#SMTLive Recap]

Recently, on #SMTLive, our weekly Twitter chat, we hosted a discussion on how brands can build trust with their audiences, and why trust is so important in the modern, evolving digital landscape. Trust, and building effective brand relationships, is becoming a bigger focus amid shifting attitudes to key social issues, and a rising reliance on eCommerce for shopping. On the former, according to Edelman's 2020 Trust Barometer report, less than half of people now trust that their institutions will do what's right, with growing skepticism around financial motivations and other influential factors that can change government and regularity decisions. On the latter, as reliance on eCommerce grows, consumers need to know that they're going to get what they pay for online, and that comes down to br...

Twitter Publishes 2021 Marketing Calendar to Highlight Key Events for Your Campaigns

Every year, Twitter publishes a downloadable events calendar to assist marketers in planning for all the key dates in the months ahead.  But last year, with so many events being canceled due to COVID-19, the calendar itself ended up being kind of useless. I mean, it was still handy, but it had to be revised so often that it was never clear what was and wasn't happening, which meant that downloading the guide didn't really work. So this year, with disruption still lingering in the air, Twitter has opted to publish a live listing on its Twitter Marketing website, which includes all the key dates, month-by-month, on a simple template. It's not as pretty as the usual calendar format, but it does the job, and it'll help you keep track of all the key events and dates you need to know in order t...

“Water Cooler” Moments in a Remote Work World?

LinkedIn Stories is the career network’s latest pitch to reach a younger demographic. The feature could help your company reach that audience, too.
