If we understand the need to be on Linkedin, within the strategy to follow, the content we publish is of great importance.
Recommendations on the content of Linkedin communication:
- Publish unique and corporate content. More corporate information can be published on Linkedin because precisely those are the contents demanded by people who decide to follow a company.
- Post links. Sharing new corporate blog posts or linking to different sections of the company website (who we are, job portal, etc.) will help followers keep up to date with company updates. You can also post links to current news, to interesting studies in the sector … to position the company as a benchmark in the sector.
- Use audiovisualcontent , since they generate interest and will help to spread the publications.
- Constant activity. Having the page is not enough, constant activity is required. Otherwise the companies or clients will not see your true value.
- Enhance the conversation. It is a social media strategy that works on social networks, asking questions or asking users to rate the brand’s products and services, participating in groups and chatting with your contacts. Remember that networks are social .
- Encourage employee participation. As we have discussed, employees should be the first brand ambassadors. With this, the corporate message would be distributed among the members of each employee’s network, achieving a considered scope. Employees, as brand ambassadors, will bring credibility and innovative company image to the company.
- Be responsive. Comments and questions from followers should always be answered. Also appreciate the interaction of users with the brand.
- Analyzethe posts.
For these aspects and many more, you should not miss the opportunity to communicate both with companies in the same sector as your current and potential customers.
