🎃 Is your social media scaring away potential clients? Halloween is the perfect time to exorcise those social media mistakes that might be haunting your growth! Here are 3 spooky mistakes to avoid so your brand doesn’t become a ghost town: 👻 Ghosting your followers – Posting inconsistently or ignoring comments is a big no-no. Social media is about showing up regularly and building connections. Don’t let your audience feel like they’re talking to a ghost! 🕷️ Scary design – A mismatched or unclear design can send the wrong message, leaving your audience confused. Consistent branding - colours, fonts, and tone - builds trust and keeps your feed looking polished, not frightful. 🧟 Zombie content – Posting the same thing over and over? That’s zombie behaviour! Switch it up with fresh content ideas, visuals, and themes. Keep your audience engaged with posts they’ll want to interact with, not scroll past. Remember, QUALITY NOT QUANTITY! Let’s turn those frights into delights! 🍬 Happy Halloween from Social in Mind x #socialmediamangement #socialmediamarketing #marketing #socialmediatips #growth

🚨 Master the Art of Facebook Ads with These Powerful Strategies 🚨 In today’s digital landscape, becoming a Facebook Ads expert is no longer optional—it’s a necessity! Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your approach, these insights will elevate your campaigns and maximize your ROI. Let’s dive in! 👇 1. Crafting Killer Ad Creatives 🎨 Your ad creative is the FIRST thing your audience will notice. It has to stand out in the noisy social feed! The secret? Make it visually appealing and emotionally engaging. Here’s why it matters. Visual Appeal: People process visuals 60,000 times faster than text. Make it count! Emotional Triggers: Tap into emotions to create a connection. Find a way to resonate whether it’s humor, empathy, or excitement. The Harsh Truth: Your audience doesn’t care about your business or reputation; they care about what’s in it for them. Does your ad speak to their needs? If not, you’ve lost them! 2. Writing Persuasive Ad Copy 📝 It’s true—not everyone reads the ad copy. But those who do? They’re the ones most likely to convert. Here’s how to write copy that seals the deal. Focus on Benefits: Shift the focus from features to benefits. Instead of describing the product, talk about how it will improve their life. Answer Their Questions: The curious will want more details. Make sure your copy answers any lingering doubts they may have. Simple & Clear: Keep it concise. No one has time to read an essay in their feed! 3. Nailing the Target Audience 🎯 Even the best ad creatives and copy will fall flat if they’re shown to the wrong audience. Here’s how to ensure your ads hit the right people. Interest-Based Targeting: Meta reports that advertisers using interest-based targeting see up to a 60% improvement in engagement rates. Don’t underestimate the power of this! Demographic Alignment: For high-ticket items, target demographics like iPhone users, frequent international travelers, or individuals with higher income levels. Show your ad to people who are likely to buy! Avoid Common Pitfalls: Don’t show candy ads to seniors or luxury products to teenagers. Be smart about your targeting! 🚀Ready to elevate your Facebook Ads game?

Working in marketing, Pinterest is one of my favorite tools 📌 In a creative rut? Pinterest. Planning a shoot? Pinterest. Party/event planning? Pinterest. It's SO much more than pretty pictures of houses or cute outfits. It's a (free) treasure trove of fresh ideas ✨

If you spend any time on Instagram, you might have noticed a while ago that they moved away from the square posts and made them more portrait. Now when I see a square post it doesn’t feel it flows as well while scrolling down my phone and it got us thinking, do all the social medias have an optimum size? Instagram is definitely a portrait platform, it does take landscape too if all the pictures you’re uploading are landscape, but it might not grab people’s attention that well due to how small it ends up being when zoomed out to fit, so we would always recommend portrait. Facebook is different because the layout isn’t so strict. Either portrait or landscape will work for Facebook, whichever your pictures are taken in. If you’re uploading infographics, portrait is probably still better but only from an ease of reading viewpoint. LinkedIn is, again, more flexible in terms of layout. For photos we’d recommend landscape as they tend to look more natural on LinkedIn and therefore easier to digest, but portrait will also work for photos. Infographics however, we suggest using the same portrait size as Instagram, and uploading them as a pdf instead of separate images so that they don’t get weirdly cut off by the automatic layout and are easy to swipe through. Is there anything about social media that you struggle with? We’d love to answer any of your questions you’ve got!

Instagram now allows you to post up to 20 photos and videos in a carousel. Until now, the maximum limit has been 10. Instagram’s slide increase certainly gives you more room to tell stories, show your product in action, and more. Luce Media can create compelling and engaging Instagram carousels for you.
