How To Create, Monitor And Optimise Your Social Media Strategy

Stay Social: November Social Media Updates

22/Nov/2017 · 2 MINS READ

It’s November! Summer is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about your Christmas shopping (eeeep!). It also means that it’s time for your monthly roundup of all the top stories in social media marketing.

Facebook Stories. Facebook Stories Everywhere.

After stories took over Snapchat and Instagram, they arrived at Facebook. However, Facebook’s feature is being expanded in a way that’s far bigger than Instagram or Snapchat.

Facebook is adding Stories to both group and event pages. This new feature will allow users to share their stories privately, either within groups that they belong to or on the pages of events they are attending.

This is a huge opportunity for marketers to utilise user-generated-content and build their communities. Imagine creating brand event pages and asking users to upload their stories for the chance to win a prize, or simply to be featured on the event page?

#Following on #Instagram

It’s fair to say many Instagram communities have been formed around hashtags- think #fitspiration, #fanart or even branded tags like #shareacoke.

Now, Instagram is introducing a feature that will allow users to follow their favourite hashtags. This means marketers have the opportunity to create campaigns and communities around specific hashtags, and measure success based on the number of followers and engagement with a specific hashtag.

The same hashtag problem persists even with the new feature – popular hashtags will have the most followers, but also the most users, meaning content could be drowned out. On the other hand, less popular hashtags will have fewer followers – a great opportunity for smaller brands and businesses to make themselves known.

Instagram’s latest feature provides marketers with a new way to measure sentiment. Think outside the box when it comes to measuring success- who is using your hashtag? How are they using your hashtag? These kinds of insights are essential for understanding how people feel about your brand or campaign.

More Room to Play on Twitter

Tweeters rejoice! 280-character posts on Twitter have now been rolled out for all users across the social media platform.

We’ve loved seeing how brands and users celebrated the new character limit, one of our favourite examples being Melville Books, who used all 280 characters to remind their followers exactly what it is they sell.

We can’t wait to see how brands and marketers will be using those additional 160 characters.

Snapchat Gets a New Look

It’s been a tough year for Snapchat. Since going public, the company has started to see a downward trend in its stock price, and that has prompted big changes to the mobile app.

These changes include a re-design of the app in order to make it more appealing to broader audiences. Their goal is to simplify the app after some feedback suggested the app isn’t all that user-friendly.

Snapchat will also be introducing an algorithmic feed. The algorithm will prioritise stories on user’s feeds, meaning friends and influencers they engage with the most will be shown at the top, rather than just showing all stories in reverse-chronological order.

Not only does this change force marketers to rethink how their content engages the audience, it also shifts how we rank and choose Snapchat influencers. Audience engagement will trump audience size as a metric of influencer success.

And that’s it for November! Big changes are coming, so start thinking about how they can form part of your social media strategy next year.
