There is no denying: using social media for your party business is the ultimate way to connect with your audience. It is free, it is easy and everyone can do it. But that’s also the problem. How do you make the most out of social media awhen all your competitors are there too?
1. Define Your Goals and Audience
Before diving into social media, it’s important to know who your followers are and what your goal is. What do you want to achieve with your social media efforts? Do you want to get more clients or do you want to get your name out there?
2. Choose the Right Platforms
Not all social media platforms are the same. The platform you choose should align with your business type and audience. Here’s where party businesses thrive: Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest. It’s possible to be present at all three, but it’s better to start with one platform to focus on.
3. Schedule Posts on Social Media
Consistency is key in social media. And let’s be honest: time is our biggest enemy in the party industry. That’s why I work with a content calendar that outlines what to post and when. In my course you get a free 30-day calendar that saves you time! Use scheduling tools like Facebook or Hootsuite to automatically plan your posts.
4. Engage with Your Audience
Don’t just post, but interact! Respond to comments, messages and mentions. Engage with your audience by asking questions and have real conversations. Show that your business is approachable and responsive. They have to know and like you, before they book you.
5. Use Hashtags Wisely
Hashtags can increase the visibility of your posts. Research and use relevant and trending hashtags in your content. However, don’t overdo it. A few well-chosen hashtags are more effective than a long list of irrelevant ones.
