6 Reasons Why Your Social Media Posts Aren’t Doing Well

9 November 2018

3 mins read

The good, the bad and the ugly truth.

The challenge of doing something new is that there’s no guide to it. But don’t worry, as the best digital marketing agency in Singapore and Malaysia, we’re here with our don’ts and oh-please-don’ts to help you navigate the world of social media and improve your digital branding.

You’re there just to be there

If your audience isn’t there… why are you? Don’t waste precious time and resources on a platform that your audience doesn’t use. Instead, channel that energy into finding your audience and the social media platforms they use. If you’re B2B try LinkedIn, if you’re B2C try Facebook, take Browhaus for example, they’re on Instagram not LinkedIn.

Takeaway: If your audience isn’t there, neither should you.

You act like a big brand – you’re not

We’d all love to have the following big brands have, and copying them seems like the obvious way to build such a following. Unfortunately, just because Coke and Nike can do it, doesn’t mean we can. While they target engagement, most SMEs should be more strategic about their posts, aiming for stronger branding, growth and campaigns.

Takeaway: Aim lower for bigger returns.

You don’t have a call to action

The content is great, the copy is perfect, but nothing is happening. Maybe it’s because no one knows what to do with that amazing post. Sometimes people just need a little push in the right direction. Never underestimate the power of a simple ‘find out more’, and as the best Digital Marketing firm in Singapore and Malaysia, we don’t underestimate it.

Takeaway: Give a call to action and it’ll be answered.

You have content issues

Maybe you missed your target audience and couldn’t pivot, or maybe you just focused on quantity instead of quality. Fear not! We have the answer – quality content is the way to go! From social media copywriting to visual direction, let us help you achieve your goals and communicate your message. Spammy posts are one to avoid at all costs not only will it repel your audience but your posts may be ranked lower by the social media platform’s algorithms. Quality is key to conversions and building a brand, and with the right content, there’s no doubt that your sales will improve with social media.

Takeaway: Quality work is worth more than quantity.

You over schedule your posts

It seems like a good idea at first, weekly posts on Wednesday and Saturday, it’s automated and you can’t miss a day right? Wrong. Overscheduling means you miss out on capitalising on any relevant trending topic, also known as newsjacking, thus missing out on more meaningful interactions. Focus less on rigid scheduling and more on responding and reacting to current trending topics.

Takeaway: Schedule; but with more flexibility.

You’re not authentic enough

Authenticity is in and it’s not a fad! Authenticity not only makes your brand more relatable and increases engagement, but it also builds trust. Why buy from a brand you don’t trust? From poking fun at yourself to showing something behind the scenes, there are plenty of ways to build authenticity. Besides, Facebook algorithms like it too.

Takeaway: Be authentic and you’ll be fine.

 

Need a bit more help? Don’t worry, contact us now and we’ll gladly help you with your social media woes!

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) The New Wave of Advertisement Content?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has slowly crept into every industry, even in digital marketing, and it looked like everything could be made better with AI.

Digital marketing has benefitted from the automation of strenuous processes but the content within ads seemed irreplaceable by AI.

At least that’s what people thought until Burger King released this:

If you let your phone’s texting suggestion create an ad for Burger King, you’ll probably get something like:

“Burger King and I wanna was a great night out with the girls in a very small group of fun people who cannot is a great way of making it fun to try it and then make sure to make it happen.”

Similarly, in these ads, the AI’s voiceover and the content were awkward and funny, which seems to hit the spot for some consumers.

While it is scary to imagine a world where even content is run by AI, it seems like there has been more and more research and development going in that direction.

Why did this ad appeal to so many audiences?

Currently, advertisements are proliferating our everyday space, and the only way for your ad to stand out is to find creative and relatable angles.

Likewise, the Burger King ad used a creative yet relatable idea of faulty AI content, which captured the attention of the masses.

Hence, the formula seems clear: the less brand sells the product, the more it will appeal to the general public. This is because such content is viewed as more sincere in their interactions with consumers.

If you are looking for a strategic content with a creative and relatable angle, approach a creative team that generates meaningful interactions with consumers.

Will AI become the new wave of digital advertisement content?

We don’t think so.

AI has successfully transformed digital marketing, such as data analytics and targeting/re-targeting various profiles based on interests and internet behaviour.

But when it comes to content, humans are superior in terms of creativity and empathy, which AI fails to replicate.

Even the content of the Burger King ad itself was created by the marketing team at Burger King, banking on the inability of AI to create content and humour.

Without creativity and empathy, AI is unable to replicate creative and relatable content as exemplified by the Burger King ad.

So how should I craft digital marketing content going forward?

While targeting helps to bring the message to the right people, the right content will find the right people on its own.

Be creative. Creativity will remain the key to content creation for a long time.

Creative content often becomes talking points in everyday conversations and media news and improves your brand visibility.

At the end of the day, you will need creative yet strategic content (link to our top 5 ad article) to achieve marketing goals in the digital age.

It is good to employ advanced technology. However, there’s nothing in this world that can replace good and effective advertising content built on creativity, not even AI.

If you need help in crafting a top-of-the-line advertising content, look for a digital team that is experienced in doing so.
