How would you continue this sentence? How do you think your followers would respond? Ask them. January is a slow month for sales in most businesses but nothing is stopping you from engaging with your clients on Social Media – whether it be Facebook or Instagram. Try to incorporate benefits of your product or service during these brutal months of winter. Do you have a shop? Invite them in for a cup of hot cocoa and private shopping day. Are you online? Encourage them to send photos of memorable winter scenes. It’s not always about “making a sale”. 2018 trends speak to personal connections so try that and loyalty will be your reward.

WHAT’S ON TREND

READY, SET, SNOW!

Fun and engaging posts are more than that – they also help businesses in understanding customer behavior and personality.

COLD DAYS, WARM HEART

Winter 2018 has been harsh on a global level. Ask your fans to find their source of happiness in this very cold season.

WINTER “WORD”LAND

Does brain freeze really exist? Why, yes but not from the cold weather. Fuel their creativity with word games or ask them to come up dictionary words, like we did!

FLURRY OF SALES

Sure you need to engage with your followers but some revenue would be great, right? Try short weekend blasts instead of all month long ones – there is more urgency in it!

WHAT’S NEW

21/90 RULE

A new year is always about NEW life lessons. Put away the calculator for this one and be on the side of guidance. #RulesToLiveBy

PIZZA, PIZZA

Calling all restaurants or pizza lovers (in this case, it’s safe to say almost EVERYONE). Share the posts that will strike a nerve or a craving! #PizzaLovers

LOVE. KICK ASS. SMILE. REPEAT.

Empowering words to get your followers ready for the new year. #YouCanDoThis

TRAVEL BUG

Encouraging your fans to travel opens them up to adventure and perhaps trying your product or service. #PsychologyofSales #Wanderlust
