We at Redsteps want to make sure over summer your social media accounts start back in 2018 with a bang! And what better way to do that then with these fabulous social media tips on how to keep your pages fresh for summer!

1. Run a competition or giveaway

What better way to get your followers excited about your brand then with a competition!? Running competitions regularly can be a great way to keep followers engaged. People love seeing the words “free” and “giveaway” so use that power to get people to interact with your business.

PLEASE NOTE: when running social media competitions, you will need to look into terms and conditions, and come up with a fun way to enter that doesn’t conflict with the social media platform’s rules and regulations.

2. Create bite-sized videos

Although the thought of creating and editing a video can seem daunting, do not panic! Short little snippets or even boomerangs are a great way to show off your business in a cool and fun way. Video marketing is highly popular, so why not give it a go this summer and see what engagement you get?

3. Create a how-to or tutorial

Get creative and show your followers you’re a master in your trade by showing them how it’s done. Whether it’s how to style accessories, create a succulent garden or change a tyre, this is a great way to show off your knowledge whilst providing followers some great takeaways they can use one day.

4. Make a meme

Have a funny photo you have taken at work? Why not make it a meme!? People love sharing, liking and commenting on memes, so this could be a great way to get some additional engagement on your social media pages over summer.

5. Show your followers what happens behind the scenes

Having a boogie in the office? Brainstorming? Unpacking deliveries? Show your followers! This is a great way for followers to see what you do that no-one normally sees. This will give your followers a better understanding of your brand, and can makes you relationship with your followers more personal.
