The Purpose of Social Media Engagement is to Be Social
The purpose of social media engagement is to be social. People join social media to be social. People do not join Facebook and other social media platforms to be spammed with ads.
Everyone gets bombarded with ads. From television, radio, billboard & signs and even YouTube videos and in social media feeds. Ads are pushed on us daily.
The purpose of social media engagement is to meet people and engage in conversation about everything but our goods, services and opportunities.
People who friend request us on Facebook don’t want to see ads. They want to see what we are all about.
Company Ads
The purpose of social media engagement is not to push company ads.
If our company felt that ads would work better than engagement with conversation on social media, our company would not need us. They would push ads.
Our company would save millions of dollars by pushing ads on social media.
We should never share the company name or the name of the product or service. We should brand ourselves by branding some tips, tricks, strategies and techniques for solving people’s problems.
