Post appropriate content for each platform.
One of the common mistakes that many small and emerging brands make is publishing one piece of content on all social media platforms without seeing the insights and statistics of the platform. But you should know that each platform has the appropriate content for it and its target audience.
For example, the Instagram platform will be the first choice for publishing photos of your products and any innovative and distinctive visual content that indicates the quality of your products. As for the TikTok platform, your content is informal and light, meaning you can create short videos in order to enhance communication with your customers and share with them other Directions, etc. If you post tips or directions on how to use your products effectively, the Facebook platform will be the best for publishing this type of content.

Social media platforms improve their use on a daily basis, and one of the most important improvements to them today is the ability to activate scheduling tools that help you save more time. These tools allow you to schedule posts for several days instead of publishing each piece of content on its own. Automation tools such as chatbots also help you respond to your customers immediately and quickly, whether in messages or comments, thus satisfying your customers and saving you time to perform more other tasks.
