Sharing The Love in Pictures

“Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.”

 Walt Disney Company

We all know the saying a picture is worth a thousand words, and on your social pages, a picture can be worth a thousand likes, comments and shares.  This is a pretty simple one.  Images evoke the highest engagement on social platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest and of course Instagram.  But what is important to take away from this super cool infographic is the types of images and the context in which we post them that makes all the difference.

Self-promotion and hard selling is NOT what the social web is about. What it is about is creating value, engaging, listening, sharing, two-way communication and building relationships. So instead of posting an image of a product you have for sale, think about posting a super cool hair image created with the product or client or team member using the product.  See the difference?

Understanding these simple “rules of engagement” can transform your content on your social pages and dramatically increase engagement with your community.  Awesome.
